Rotherham United manager Steve Evans cut a bitter figure as Brentford and Wolves saw their promotion chances increase significantly following his team’s stalemate with Bradford City on Friday night. Six more points will do it for Brentford whilst Wolves need a solitary victory.
Evans clearly wasn’t a happy man after a game played out in front of Sky TV and which featured our very own Natalie Sawyer in the punditry hot seat. He stropped off straight down the tunnel at full time before re-emerging to moan at the cameras in the obligatory post-match interview.

Thanks for reading over the course of the campaign. For now I need to make space on this page for any follow up. The ‘close season’ / World Cup columns continue in full, further on in this site.
Just about to leave the house to go to Crewe. By 5pm we could be back in the Championship. Hurry up and join the party Brentford (in second place of course).
Tempting fate by writing this with 20 minutes still to play but looks like Wolves are promoted (leading 2-0) and Brentford still needing 2 wins to join them but looking uncatchable regardless. Nothing is certain in football but if Brentford don’t win today, and they’re still trailing Swindon, then they’ll need Wolves to lose 3 of their last 4 games in order to have any chance of taking the title. Seems unlikely given current form.
Forshaw has just been sent off so that will affect the Bees chances for the next 3 games, he seems to be an oft mentioned player in these columns and his absence could disrupt things but I remain confident Brentford will be climbing out of League 1 alongside Wolves and I look forward to another trip to Griffin Park next season.
Hello Nick,
