[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1544621, member: 85743"] West Brom clinches the other EFL Championship automatic promotion spot with a 2:2 draw versus QPR coupled with Brentford's 1:2 loss to Barnsley. The biggest surprise was Nottingham Forest flaming out with a 4:1 loss to Stoke City. They only needed 1 point out of their final two matches and got none. This, coupled with Swansea City cruising to a 4:1 victory against a Reading side that imploded. As a result, the Swans get the final playoff qualification spot based on having a +9 goal differential versus Nottingham Forest having a +8 goal goal differential. Meanwhile at the bottom of the table, Barnsley won their final two matches to avoid relegation while Charlton Athletic lost 4:0 to Leeds United. So it's Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic, and Hull City that are all relegated to League One for next season. The promotion playoffs look like this: -(3) Brentford vs. (6) Swansea City -(4) Fulham vs. (5) Cardiff City. First legs of the promotion playoffs will take place July 26 and 27 with the second legs on July 29 and 30. The play-off final will take place at Wembley on August 4. [/QUOTE]
