Who will join Reading and QPR?
Harry Redknapp gave it a good go as manager of Queens Park Rangers but it won’t be enough to secure survival. Being at the match on Super Sunday you wouldn’t have thought the home side were in a relegation battle, and certainly not on the wrong end of one! The atmosphere was electric and it looked like QPR stood a chance of staying up before Shaun Maloney’s 94th free-kick sent Wigan back with a point. Good luck with those wages in the Championship…
As for Reading, they’ve had a good old battle to stay in the Premier League but i’m sorry to say they will still prop up the league table come May… but to be fair, not many expected much else than for the Royal’s to be straight back down to the Football League.
Sunderland, Aston Villa, Wigan and Stoke for me are the four sides still fighting to avoid finishing 18th. Here’s a short overview on each of those sides…
Sunderland may have a new manager, but they are still missing Fletcher and Cattermole from the starting 11 which has influenced their drop in form.
Aston Villa are looking good at the minute and for a young side with little experience are showing confidence going into the final stage of the campaign. Their final match away at fellow strugglers Wigan may not be as crucial as many are predicting.
Wigan… will they survive the drop again? The showing at Loftus Road on Sunday was nothing short of poor, especially how the Latics should really be hitting teams for 6 by this stage under Roberto Martinez!
Stoke, what’s happening? The mid table finish looks no more as they are hurling towards relegation. Look bankers to pick up the least amount of points (from the 4 listed) in their remaining games. That may just be enough for City.
