You may have read on the internet, or noticed on the bookmakers lists that there has been something of a "gamble" on Middlesbrough in the Championship this season. Local newspaper The Gazette pick up on the story yesterday....link.

There will be a full house at Griffin Park today as Brentford wave goodbye to League 1, favourite son Kevin O'Connor who has not featured much in recent campaigns, will play today, his 500th start for the mighty Bees. That puts him 4th on the all time list and there is still life in the old dog yet ! He is actually only just 32 yo ,a rare one club man in modern football, a model professional and one hugely respected by fellow players and supporters alike.

I am happy with Wanderers and the handicap start here against the champions elect, who do need a point to seal the title, but still have two games after today to clinch it and both look far easier than this.

There are far more options for Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder today and it now looks as though this was the match he was looking to take three points from this weekend and the first, one he was determined not to lose.
