Championship Play-off semis first leg and second legs.

So hard to call. I mean, the Championship is hard to predict on any given day, whatever about the playoffs.

I'll go:

Southampton vs Derby - Home

Wolves vs West Brom - Draw

Southampton 1-0 Derby

Wonderful strike from Andrew Surman in the 7th minute.

Deserved lead ,

Peno was well outside the box. I was hoping Southampton would win, they occasionally try to pass it around a bit whereas Derby are just a bunch of cloggers.

That's what I thought initially, but looking at it again I think it's debatable. The first thug on the shirt was definately outside, but he still had a chunk of it in the box.

Derby normally play much more attractive football than that, that was an unusual match.
That said, their usual partnership of Barnes and Jones in the center of midfield wasn't playing, so it's to be expected.

I like the playoffs now

But why does it only become a foul when it's inside the box?

Therin lies the debate!

nightmare, completely against the run of play. kevin philips is what wolves are lacking up front

the tic-tac, lovely stuff!

west brom have too much depth in their squad they're the strongest team in the playoffs

wolves were well worth a win today, pity breen had a nightmare. i think it'd be good if wolves didnt go up this year and made a serious push next year for automatic promotion, they're a very young side and mounting a serious challenge would be well within their reach

1-2 to southampton now,3-3 on agg now

classic OG to put derby in front,4-3 agg

penos it is
