Millwall: ‘Gutted but proud’ – a season of progress ends in Championship play-off defeat by Hull City

By Total Football News

The Scot said: “Did I roll the dice too early? Did I go for it?

“There are loads of bits running through your mind and then even when I’m speaking to Sky they’re saying ‘do you think three weeks ago if you won that game…’ and I’m thinking ‘come on, how far do you want to go back?’

“Do you want to go back to the start of the season?

Portsmouth fan view: QPR defeat shows why Pompey are going down

By Total Football News

Saturday was the darkest day of Pompey’s season.

It left me, and I’m sure many present alongside us in the Loftus Road away end, genuinely shocked leaving the ground and heading home.

An argument you could’ve made heading into the weekend was that, although the results hadn’t been falling our way, Pompey weren’t being blown away and when losing, were usually losing by a single goal in games. On Saturday

Stoke City: Preston defeat result of costly mistakes

By Total Football News

This was a game that looked there for the taking, particularly after Sorba Thomas opened the scoring with a brilliantly taken 10th goal of the season.

Then it all fell apart. Preston were sharper, stronger and more aggressive despite their lack of quality, something that made this 3-1 defeat even more frustrating.

Preston had won one in 13 before this but Stoke allowed them back into the game quickly despite

Millwall opinion: Blackburn defeat a ‘painful twist of events’ for Lions

By Total Football News

It’s rarely a good thing for a referee to be ‘the story’ from a critical game such as Millwall’s home defeat by Blackburn on Saturday.

But Andrew Kitchen’s 59th-minute decision to show the Lions’ Zak Sturge a straight red card for the denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity was, to say the least, highly controversial.

There is of course no video assistant referee (VAR) in the Championship (thankfully), but had

Middlesbrough 0-1 Charlton: Boro’s promotion hopes hit by home defeat

By Total Football News

Middlesbrough’s promotion hopes were dealt a painful blow as Conor Coady gave Charlton a surprise win at the Riverside Stadium.

Boro were hoping to keep up the pressure on Championship leaders Coventry with victory but instead dropped precious points in their pursuit of a place in the Premier League.

Coady’s second-half winner leaves Boro eight points behind the Sky Blues, and more importantly just one ahead of a charging Millwall

Arne Slot: Liverpool hit ‘new low’ after PSV defeat but is Dutchman’s job at risk?

By Total Football News

The 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest at home on Saturday was bad but the loss against PSV was arguably the low point of Liverpool’s season.

“Liverpool seem to keep finding ways to hit new lows under Arne Slot, and of course, that is leading to questions around the manager’s future,” Josh Sexton of Liverpool fan group the Anfield Wrap told BBC Sport.

“He will accept that as part of the
