So surprised West Bromwich are crumbling at this very critical time. Unbelievable! One more loss, and they are out. And even if they win their remaining matches, epl ticket isn’t guaranteed yet. Seyi is someone I really wanna see in the premier league. Can they just do something?
If West Brom win their next match against QPR they will gain automatic promotion to the English Premier league. If they draw or lose they go into a play off for the remaining promotion spot.
Of course the play off spot depends on if Brentford beat Barnsley in their final game as they are expected to. If Barnsley beat Brentford then West Brom will be promoted automatically regardless of how they do
Exactly bigd .. Just one more round of matches in the championship.. I was really surprised to see Bradford losing today, Bedford for me has been the best in the English championship, what that Algerian guy obviously the best player in the championship this year.. Westbrom would surely win their last match and gain automatic promotion to the premier league.. Mark my word! So sad for Bedford
