Summary

If any of the following topics/questions interest you, you're in the right place! Can Villa chase down Wolves? Surely not, but hey. Where would Villa be if Kodjia had been fit the whole season? Also, Grabban - best signing of Jan? Who was the best January signing? Grabban? Mitrovic ? Someone else? Middlesbrough have scored 3 goals in 4 of their last 5 games - with Adama, Bamford and Besic in this kind of form are they coming into playoff dark horse contention? (or will their record against good teams be their undoing?) We say this every year but is Derby's end of season tail-off going to be completed in the next few fixtures? Can Rowett bring them out of this slump? Is this trend a mentality amongst the players or a failure of successive managers to deliver consistency? Anyone in the top half that you’d be looking at as relegation candidates next year or anyone in the bottom half you think could make a promotion push? Is this the worst Championship bottom 8 ever? Will 40 points be enough to survive? Who are you backing to beat the drop in the Championship? Are Sunderland in danger of doing a 'Portsmouth' and getting relegated down to League One and even be in danger of being relegated from League One next season? If Wigan fail to pip Shrewsbury to the automatic promotion places, can you see them failing in the play-offs to a resurgent Peterborough or Plymouth? Could they be another casualty of 3rd place teams who are burned out after failing to reach the top two in the final stretch? Which is more exciting the competition for the Play-Off spots or the relegation battle? Are Rochdale too good to go down? Will Dale’s games in hand help them stay up or will they burn them out and send them down? Weekly Gab: the highest placed side you think could go down from League One? Would Karl Robinson be the best choice for the mighty Yellows & if so, why? Whitney, what do you think it’ll take for him to get the boot, disregarding relegation. Nice to hear an outside thought. Will Accrington Stanley do the previously unthinkable and win League Two as champions? Would this eclipse Huddersfield's promotion last season with regards to budget, being unfancied and the perennial underdogs? Thoughts on Evans out, Flitcroft in at Mansfield? What do you think of Exeter's form? Do you consider it enough to finish inside the top 3? Play-offs? Or neither? We sit in 6th and have games in hand over the rest of the play off contenders but what do you think? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:11.9

4-1, it finished to Villa on the weekend, against wolves, their biggest defeat of the season,

1:16.8

certainly their most chastening defeat of the season in front of the sky cameras.
