Warnock's teams to go up and down

Last updated : 21 April 2011 By Tony Scholes

QPR are almost home and dry and it is just a matter as to who goes up with them. It could still be any one of four teams but I wouldn't be putting any money on Swansea the way they played at Burnley.

Cardiff are in pole position right now but anything could happen in the remaining four games and Reading, given their incredible run, can't be ruled out by any means.

The three that don't make it will be in the play offs with one other and that one other could, and it is only a could, still be us after a six point haul in our two home games. We're still behind Nottingham Forest and Hull on goal difference whilst just two points behind Leeds who are in that sixth place.

We've got a chance again, but it will be tough and we will need to go to Elland Road and win I would think if we are to have any chance.

Down at the foot of the table, the bottom four played each other. Had Crystal Palace beaten Scunthorpe I think that would have been it with Scunthorpe, Preston and Sheffield United all but relegated.

But they didn't and it's opened up. The Blades will go down, absolutely no doubt about that, but there is just enough light at the end of the tunnel to give the other two hope. I still think they'll go down but Palace will need to find at least one win from somewhere.

The results from the last week, along with the stats, are shown below with the first Easter fixtures, the league's leading goalscorers and the disciplinary records of each club.
