The Championship Stats - 18th to 20th April

Last updated : 20 April 2009 By Tony Scholes
Wolves have returned to the top flight after five years and it is looking likely that Birmingham will be the ones to join them automatically with Sheffield United having lost at the Turf. Our win surely means we'll be involved in the play offs for the first time at this level.
