Not necessarily. They beat Luton and lose to Cardiff means only a Sheff Weds win v Derby would keep Rotherham up.

Wednesday's relegation is sporting justice a year too late. If my memory is not too fogged were they not spared at the end of last season when they should have been given a massive points deduction. Even had it reduced this year I think. While the nobodies from Wigan were treated very badly, after being traded around Asia in disgraceful fashion by people who don't really care.
Football ownership in this country really does need change at all levels.

All correct. How they halved Wednesdays points deduction after the season had started is a shambles too.

A very important game about to begin on SkySports between Luton and Rotherham (7.15pm kick off)
If Rotherham were to win their last two games they could send down Derby and Sheffield Weds.

I, for one, want them to go down as I have an irrational dislike of both Derby and Derbyshire.
Frankly I'd like to sink the whole place into the sea. That this would mean Sheffield would become a seaside town is an unexpected bonus.
Actually I'd like to get rid of everything between Gatwick and Teeside, but that's another matter.

The standard is so poor that it's easy to understand how Norwich and Watford have managed to come straight back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

The EFL were bottlers in halving the punishment.
Lovely how it all panned out though
It won’t just be Blades and BHAFC fans loving this. Viewing other online football fora in recent seasons, Massive get mocked a great deal.

No they weren't. Both the original punishment, and the reduction, were imposed by an independent panel - Sheffield Wednesday have points deduction reduced from 12 to six

Certainly explains my irrational reasons for both teams demise.
Come on Rotherham.

That was a poor advert for championship football.
Well I suppose it would make the train journey between Brighton and Edinburgh quicker and cheaper

Right now Rotherham don't look like a team capable of winning in Cardiff.

All looked a bit Div 3. Don't remember us ever looking that poor in The Championship, even under Sami.

In fairness they've just played 11 games in 33 days, playing catchup after a covid outbreak in the squad sidelined them for a few weeks. Playing every 3 days for a whole month would knacker most teams out, especially one fighting for survival.
The fact they've taken it to the final day is an achievement in itself. Derby can't stop losing, so I wouldn't entirely write Rovrum off at a Cardiff team who will be on the beach.
