Scarborough 1 v Darlo 0

Poor end of season game heading for a dull 0-0 until our young Boro loanee was suckered into a naïve sending off pushing over a Scarborough player who then rolled around as if hit in the face with a hammer ( contact was hand to chest) . Mid table for us. Could be the last game Scarborough play at home for a while:

A football club which was due to have its pitch replaced before the start of the new season in August has been told it will not now be ready in time.

Scarborough Athletic's current artificial 3G pitch at the North Yorkshire Council-owned Scarborough Sports Village was supposed to be replaced after the final home game of the season on 21 April.

However, the club said it had been told by the council that a site survey had revealed "serious structural issues", including problems with the drainage system.

Two championship sackings:

Mowbray sacked at WBA: https://www.wba.co.uk/news/club-statement-tony-mowbray

West Bromwich Albion have today parted company with Head Coach Tony Mowbray.

Assistant Head Coach Mark Venus has also departed the club.

The club would like to place on record its thanks to Tony and Mark for their efforts – but has made the decision to part company following a series of poor results.

Norwich City sack Thorup: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0rz9ekdpg9o

Norwich City have sacked head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup and placed ex-Arsenal and England midfielder Jack Wilshere in charge for their two remaining games of the season.

Thorup, 36, was appointed in May 2024 as the replacement for David Wagner, who had been sacked following the Canaries' play-off defeat by Leeds United.

But the Dane leaves Carrow Road following a run of six defeats in eight Championship matches.

As it stands, West Ham are the only team not mathematically safe. However, for them to be relegated requires them to lose every remaining match, Ipswich to win all of theirs, and a goal difference swing of 20 to be overturned. (WH on -18, Ipswich -38).
I think it’s safe to say the bottom three are sorted.

The next league match that Ipswich have to play is on this coming Saturday....away at Newcastle United.
