After a long season in the championship, my Walsall club is currently sitting on the 4th seed which is a playoff spot, with 1 match to go. A draw would guaranty me a playoff spot while losing could see me drop out entirely from the playoff picture. Standing below.
Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Peterborough could all still make the playoff and knock me out of the picture unless I could simply manage to get 1 point out the final match of the season which will be against Leeds United.
Sky Bet Championship Final Week Fixture
Jesus Noriega Phenomenal year
Noriega has been my main star player who has constantly been able to produce goals for me and with 24 goals on 37 Championship appearances, he's almost a lock to win the Sky Bet Championship player of the year award. Noriega's 24 goals is also the most among all players in the Championship.
Other Walsall notable performers.
After Noriega, there's a bit of drop-off when it come to performance but those that are worth a mention are striker Simeon Jackson who has managed 9 goals and 7 assist on 29 appearance.
New signee Baily Cargill, central defender, has currently the best ratings at 7.20 on 30 appearances but apparently, his appearances is not enough to make the player stats standings. Baily will unfortunately miss the final game of the season because he picked up a red card during the previous game and will be suspended.
On-Loan wing back Brad Smith, 19 year old Milan Butterfield and 20 year old Jordan Sangha, all played important role during this season success championship campaign.
