(At the end of the season, I still want to summarize the closing stages of the second division of the four major European leagues (English, West, Italy and Germany) through each round of review, and if there is time, I will also add League One, and at the end of the season, I will also pay attention to the relegation and relegation of the third and even fourth leagues.) ）
In the 46th round of League One, Derby County defeated Carlisle United at the bottom to secure a second direct promotion ticket, Lincoln City and Blackpool both lost, and Oxford United narrowly beat away to seal the last promotion play-off place, and Cheltenham fell short, although Fleetwood helped them hold off Burton, but the team was beaten by Stevenage and unfortunately relegated to League Two.

Derby County need just one point to seal a second place in the league and against an already relegated Carlisle United, the Rams did not disappoint their home supporters, winning 2-0 at home thanks to a stunning left-footed strike from midfielder Bird and a goal from top scorer Collins. Derby County finished runners-up in League One this season and returned to the Championship after a two-season hiatus.
Bird and his teammates celebrate
Bolton Wanderers and Peterborough United, who had already qualified for the promotion play-offs, staged a goal shootout, and Bolton led by two goals in the first eight minutes, but conceded three goals in a row in the second half and were reversed, and eight minutes before the end, substitute veteran Jérôme completed the equalizer. With one point each, the two teams are in 3rd and 4th place in the standings respectively.

The fifth position changed hands, Barnsley, who had been occupying the position, played a draw with Northampton and fell to sixth, while Oxford United, who were originally in seventh, rebounded to fifth, Oxford United beat Exeter 2-1 away in this round, top scorer Harris broke the deadlock, and the core of the midfield, Liverpool veteran Braanagan sealed the win, they surpassed Lincoln City and Barnsley, who lost in this round, and rose to fifth in the standings, locking a promotion play-off qualification.

The last relegation spot was occupied by Cheltenham, who had already been relegated, and Fleetwood was very strong at home to beat Burton in bottom 5 by three goals, which means that as long as Cheltenham beat Stevenage, they can surpass Burton and complete the task of relegation. It's a pity that when their main center Taylor once tied the score, they were finally beaten by Stevenage substitute midfielder Freeman, and unfortunately lost 1-2. Cheltenham played three seasons in League One and are now back in the fourth tier.
