Watford boss Tom Cleverley admitted his side were 'bang average' despite their win over Sunderland on Saturday afternoon, and praised the Black Cats for the problems they caused through the game. Cleverley was handed the job on a permanent basis earlier this week after impressing during an interim stint, but admitted the performance was probably the worst since he took charge earlier this year. Still, he was pleased with the defensive resilience his player showed even if he feels they have a lot...
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna never expected to be involved in a promotion race but now looks set to pip Leeds United to a top-two finish in the Championship, following Tuesday’s massive win at Coventry City. Ipswich took a massive step towards their second automatic promotion in as many seasons after beating Coventry City 2-1 at the CBS Arena. Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess were on hand for the Tractor Boys, scoring either side of half-time. Haji Wright’s drilled effort cancelled out...
Coventry City match reaction from CoventryLive as Mark Robins gives his post-match verdict on today's goalless draw at Ewood Park
Leeds United’s season has been extended for at least another two games after they missed out on automatic promotion to Ipswich Town. A 2-1 defeat at home to Southampton on the final day condemned Daniel Farke’s men to third place and they will now face the German’s former team, Norwich City, in the play-off semi-finals, with victory over two legs setting up a meeting with either the Saints or West Brom at Wembley. United now face a month of relative uncertainty, with those in charge at Elland...
Chris Wilder admitted that Ivo Grbic’s Sheffield United has not been a success so far after the goalkeeper was dropped for Wednesday night’s trip to Manchester United. The Croatian international, who arrived in January from Atletico Madrid, faced more scrutiny over his position after another unconvincing display in the weekend defeat to Burnley and Wes Foderingham was recalled at Old Trafford. It was a decision that proved justified as the former Rangers man made a string of fine saves despite...
The young Owls have had an excellent season in the Professional Development League, and with two games left to play they do still have a chance of reaching the play-offs - unfortunately, however, they’re now relying on Birmingham City to drop points after a bitter defeat at Bramall Lane on Thursday night. Ryan Oné and Louie Marsh got the goals, one in each half, as Andy Holdsworth’s team were beaten 2-0 in the mini Steel City derby, and it was a win that saw them leapfrog Birmingham into top...

Manchester City transfer news as Lucas Paqueta opens up on West Ham future ahead of a key summer for the Brazilian
Sunderland interim manager Mike Dodds has revealed Corry Evans’ return in Saturday’s win against Millwall was not planned. The midfielder suffered a serious knee injury against Middlesbrough in January 2023 and has been patiently working his way back towards full fitness in recent weeks. Despite returning to the matchday squad for the win over the Lions, Dodds has stressed he would not have called upon the Northern Ireland international ‘in ideal circumstances’ after he was forced into the...
Ivo Grbic has reacted well to losing his place as Sheffield United’s first-choice goalkeeper, Chris Wilder has revealed, after the Blades boss conceded that the Croatian’s Bramall Lane transfer “has not gone as well as all of us would have liked.” The 28-year-old has watched United’s last two games from the bench after Wes Foderingham was restored between the posts. Grbic has failed to convince many Unitedites with his displays between the posts since arriving from Atletico Madrid in January,...
The promotion-chasing Baggies head to Hillsborough on Saturday knowing a win will all but secure a place in the top six barring an unthinkable goal difference swing in favour of Hull City. Their hosts will have designs on picking up three points themselves of course having climbed out of the bottom three last weekend, sitting one point clear of the drop zone. A whopping 25 points and 16 league positions separate the two sides, who are battling to achieve very different aspirations heading into...
