Half-time at the minute with Jagiellonia leading 1-0.
Sheridan's remaining fixtures this season:Originally Posted by liamoo11
We have Mexico on the 2nd of June and Uruguay on the 4th, so I can't imagine he'd be available for either considering Jagiellonia are also scheduled to play their main challengers for the title on the 4th.
Jagiellonia won 2-0 and are back ahead of Lech Poznan by three points. Lech Poznan's game in hand is tomorrow.
Lech Poznań are 2-0 up against Pogoń with 15 minutes left: http://live.robinwidget.org/streamvi...am-817105.html
It looks like they'll return to the top of the league (ahead of Jagiellonia on goal difference) as I don't see them throwing away this lead, from what I've seen. They've been pretty dominant so far with Pogoń being limited to the odd half-chance here and there.
Fourth-placed Lechia Gdańsk are being held 0-0 at home to Korona. A draw would leave them third but three points behind both Lech Poznań and Jagiellonia.
Legia Warsaw, who are currently in third position, play later this evening against Nieciecza but even a win would still leave them a point behind the joint leaders.
Edit: Full time in both games; Lech Poznań win 2-0 whilst Lechia draw 0-0.

That's a pity makes it less likely he will be on bench against Austria I'd say or at least less likely to come off bench if we need a goal.Sheridan's remaining fixtures this season:

Just having a read of this and it seems that goal difference isn't actually the main method of differentiating between teams on equal points at this stage.
That means that Jagiellonia will actually finish top in the event of finishing the championship play-off round on the same number of points as another team (provided no other team has a superior points tally obviously) as Jagiellonia were the team with the most points (59) at the end of the "regular" season. Jagiellonia are top as things stand then, contrary to what I thought/said earlier.

That's useful to know and, unlike the LiveScore app, the table on the official Ekstraklasa website confirms what you're saying - http://www.ekstraklasa.org/rozgrywki
From the same website, Sheridan appears to have won the league's player of the month award for April - http://www.ekstraklasa.org/pilkarz-k...llian-sheridan

Both goals from Jagiellonia's 2-0 win yesterday:
As well as scoring the first, Sheridan was also involved in the build-up for the second.
Aye, I'd been taking my lead from LiveScore, which has Lech Poznan ahead, but it's clearly wrong.
Jagiellonia have an opportunity to pull further ahead later this evening if they can beat Lechia Gdańsk away from home and Legia and Lech Poznan take points off one another.

Ten minutes in and I'm not sure how Jagellonia haven't scored yet. They're playing quick and fluid attacking football, in spite of being the away team, and have had quite a few chances/corners. Exciting game so far.
Jagiellonia defender gives away a penalty as his really sloppy attempt to swing at and clear a loose ball trips up the Lechia attacker. Paixão converts the spot-kick to put Lechia 1-0 ahead. Came against the run of play.
Way to jinx them Danny
Jaysis, another penalty. This one certainly wasn't as clear-cut - more a coming together of bodies - but Marco Paixão converts again to put Lechia 2-0 in front.
Marco Paixão got his hat-trick and put Lechia 3-0 ahead shortly after half-time. There's half an hour left now but it's hard to see Jagiellonia coming back from this. The result could dent a serious blow to their hopes of clinching the title.
At worst they'll be 3 points behind Lech Poznan by the end of the day but still have them to play, so at least it's still in there own hands.
Run in:

The Jagiellonia game eventually ended up 4-0 to Lechia earlier; a bad result for Jagiellonia that hopefully won't undermine team morale at the most crucial stage of the season.
Legia Warsaw, meanwhile, have just beaten Lech Poznań 2-0 a short while ago, so they leap-frog their three main rivals for the championship to go top - ahead of Jagiellonia in second position - by two points.
Jagiellonia still have to play Legia as well and it's at home in Białystok, so they still have a decent chance of overturning the two-point deficit. Lech Poznań will also provide stern opposition, but at least that game will be at home too.
The league's format undoubtedly creates a more exciting spectacle during the league's final run-in, which no doubt serves commercial interests and ensures greater supporter engagement right up until the final game of the season, but I can't say I agree with it as far as fairness and competitive integrity are concerned. The team who finish top of the regular season stage effectively suffer the greatest punishment when the clubs transition into the final play-off stage as each club have their points-tally halved and so the team at the top are inevitably the team with the most points deducted.

Definitely unfair but I suppose that's often the way with playoffs. It's less unfair than the playoffs in England for example, as at least they retain some bit of their advantage.
What a brilliant title race though, the 'big four' separated by two points and they all play each other again on Sunday. Some contrast to damp squib being served up by "the most exciting league in the world".
