We had a bad Easter with just one point from the two games. All the good work of the wins against Stockport and Preston has now been undone with a run of two points from four games, another disappointing return.
The only think that looks just about clear now is the fact that KKMC are going to win the Championship. With their superior goal difference it means unless there are some crazy results they need just one point to clinch it and I wouldn't bet against them getting a point from games against Barnsley, Gillingham and Portsmouth.
Only West Brom or Wolves can go up with them now mathematically and just now West Brom are the ones in form. I would suggest they have the easier fixtures too with Wolves having to take on both Millwall and Wimbledon but just when you think you have worked things out in this division it all seems to take a completely different turn. It is now confirmed that the two Black Country clubs will take second and third spot with Birmingham the next best only able to reach 80 points now.
The big question now though is who will join the 3rd placed club in the play offs, it will be three from Burnley, Millwall, Birmingham, Norwich, Coventry, Preston and Wimbledon. Current form and a look at the remaining fixtures suggest that Norwich will probably make it now after looking out of it but who else and how many points will be required?
It is looking as though we will probably need to win two of our remaining three games and that will require a change of form with only four wins from the last nineteen league games. To be honest It is fingers crossed time now and see what happens.
We are certainly not in the play offs yet but there are again we are still in with as good a chance as most.
