Who finishes second in Championship? Pundits, fans & managers have their say
Daniel, Ipswich fan: Surely we’ve got it in the bag. QPR are possibly the most ‘on the beach’ a team can be, I cannot see us not winning. Millwall and Boro have been outstanding this season, probably performed better than us, but unfortunately it seems like we’ve just edged it.
Andrew, Millwall fan: I hold out absolutely no hope whatsoever that QPR will do us a favour at Ipswich. QPR were on the beach when they played us and I’d expect something similar on Saturday.
Paul, Middlesbrough fan: We blew it a while back. Home games against weaker teams where we dropped points. Oxford and Pompey spring to mind. Those wins would’ve had us up.
James, Ipswich fan: I just have this uneasy feeling that Ipswich will lose against QPR whilst Boro and Millwall both win, thus putting Town in the play-offs where they will fall short. Hope to be proved wrong but Ipswich have a unique way of putting us through it!
Fozzie, Millwall fan: I hope Millwall finally get some last game luck – a win for Lions and draw for Ipswich. Having missed out on play-off places in recent years, we really need some good fortune.
If we don’t, we will look back at the home game against Blackburn as a major injustice. Very dodgy red card, which was overturned, strange refereeing decisions and three lost points. A good season could still turn out to be an amazing season.
Andy, Middlesbrough fan: I have to say that if you asked me eight months ago ‘Would Boro be in the play-offs?’ I’d have had your hand off! Retrospectively, I’d now say we have blown second place, but there’s a slim chance we can do it Saturday.
Proud to support the Boro, I feel we are the best team in the mix, just that spell without a win in seven killed us. I think Ipswich deserve second place on their recent form… But who knows.
Ian, Ipswich fan: If we play against QPR with the determination we showed v Saints we will be too strong for them. But if we fail we will not have the resistance to win the play-offs. Millwall will beat relegated Oxford and I fancy Wrexham to beat Boro.
Regardless, Saints look strong, they are the form team and will win the play-offs as they did two years ago.
