In the Championship (from the start) the panel take a look at how Fulham and Bournemouth continued on their path towards promotion, Huddersfield claimed a big win and Blackburn suffered another blow to their play-off hopes after being held late on at Coventry.
Nottingham Forest’s play-off charge continued with a thumping comprehensive win over Blackpool, Barnsley and Reading drew in a huge relegation clash, and Swansea fan Lee Staddon (@swanscastmedia) assesses an historic win at Cardiff.
We then hear from Millwall midfielder Jed Wallace (25m58s), as he answers our quickfire questions in Ten To Tackle, before taking a look back at a victory for Rotherham over Sutton United in the Papa John’s Trophy final at Wembley.
In League One (30m34s) MK Dons kept up the pressure on Wigan and Rotherham at the top, AFC Wimbledon were beaten at Sheffield Wednesday in Mark Bowen’s first game in charge of the relegation strugglers, and Burton fan Jack Stout (@BrewersTV) assesses their campaign and what the future holds for the club under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
And in League Two (50m10s) Northampton’s recent stumbles continued as they lost to fellow promotion challengers Mansfield, Salford continued their charge towards the play-offs as they beat Hartlepool, Oldham’s survival hopes were boosted by a win at fellow strugglers Stevenage and Scunthorpe fan Chris Walker (@friendsofpakati) discusses their gloomy trip towards the drop to non-league.
