It could be a Yorkshire dominated play-off campaign in the Championship this season with Huddersfield Town and Leeds United looking guaranteed to secure a play-off spot (although the Terriers still have a sniff of the top two), while Sheffield Wednesday look to fend off Fulham for the final spot, with Reading sitting comfortably in fifth place.
Newcastle United v Brighton and Hove Albion is likely to be a Premier League fixture next season, but it’s hard to tell which one will be clinching the Championship title.
At the other end of the table, time is running out for Wigan Athletic, who look likely to be relegated, alongside Rotherham United, who have since become the first team in the EFL to be demoted this campaign.
However, just one point separates Blackburn Rovers and the three sides above them, meaning it will be a nervy final two months for Burton Albion, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City.
Following March’s schedule, here is Shoot!‘s Championship Player, Manager and Goal of the Month for March…
Will Leeds be playing in the Premier League next season? It’s possible. Will Wood? It’s almost a certainty.
The forward continues to deliver month on month and March was no exception.
A brace in the 3-1 win against Birmingham City and the same again in the 2-0 win against Brighton, everything he touches seems to turn to goals.
United will be desperate to win the play-offs for many reasons and keeping hold of Wood is undoubtedly one of them.
QPR will be playing in the Championship next season and will doubtlessly look upon this campaign as a disappointing one.
However, their form under Ian Holloway since mid-February will renew confidence of a more successful season at Loftus Road next term.
Victories over Cardiff City, Barnsley and Rotherham, plus a draw with high-flying Leeds, extinguished any lingering relegation fears and Holloway’s Hoops are finally looking up.
Forestieri played a huge role in Sheffield Wednesday’s 5-1 hammering of Norwich City at Hillsborough on March 4, helping Carlos Carvalhal’s side remain on track for a top six finish in the Championship come next month.
The 27-year-old firstly set up strikes for Jordan Rhodes and Morgan Fox, before the Argentina-born forward netted the fifth and final goal with a spectacular free-kick from almost 30 yards out.
