Championship Results 17th April Part 2

Queen’s Park Rangers 0-1 Cardiff City
Queen’s Park Rangers remain in slight danger of relegation after losing to a late Cardiff City goal. Cardiff, meanwhile, have something to celebrate. There will be no repeat of last season’s late collapse. They’re in the play-offs whether they like it or not. And if it was up to me, they’ll be getting promoted too.
Joe Ledley scored Cardiff’s goal. He’s happy Cardiff have secured their play-off spot and would love them to be in the Premier League next season – but the job isn’t finished yet. Darcy Blake also played the full match with Adam Matthews and Aaron Wildig on the bench.

Reading 6-0 Peterborough United
Reading can only get into the play-offs if they win all their matches, Swansea City lose all theirs and Blackpool fail to get more than a point. It’s not very likely but this 6-0 win means Reading and Swansea now have the same goal difference.
Simon Church stayed on the bench for Reading. Craig Morgan was apparently in defence for Peterborough but I have a feeling the whole defence went missing on at least five occasions (he was definitely there for Reading’s penalty because he conceded it)..

Scunthorpe United 3-0 Bristol City

Scunthorpe were very lucky to get into the Championship at all, sneaking into the play-offs on the last day before beating Millwall in the play-offs. This victory means they’re almost certain to be in the Premier League next season too. It was a bit of a surprise result as Bristol City have been on good form lately.
Christian Ribeiro went back into Bristol City’s starting line-up alongside Lewin Nyatanga but either he was injured or his manager wasn’t very happy with him because he didn’t come back out for the second half. He had only let one goal in though. The other two came after he was substituted.
