Leicester were confirmed as Champions, with Burnley ensuring their place in the Premier League, following the round of fixtures earlier in the week.

Leicester had to sell Ben Marshall and Jermaine Beckford before the start of the season and had more players with contracts expiring this summer than Charlton had.

Nigel Pearson kept his team focused and his tactics consistent. Pearson used a 4-4-2 formation and normally had two strikers and two wingers on his bench. If any of the attacking quartet were having an off day, Pearson made a like-for-like replacement but kept the same shape.

Sean Dyche did much the same at Burnley. The Clarets were fourth favourites for relegation at the start of the season but showed remarkable consistency throughout the campaign.

Dyche was forced to sell his star striker, Charlie Austin, before a ball was kicked but found an even more potent goal threat by pairing Danny Ings with Sam Vokes.

Both Pearson and Dyche are straightforward guys, with a no nonsense attitude to the game. No fancy tactics, they just stick to a well thought out game plan that suits the players at their disposal.

Charlton got a glimpse of how simplicity can be effective at Hillsborough on Monday. Callum Harriott had a shocker against Barnsley last week and did not even make the bench for the Good Friday game against Bolton.

Harriott has been utilised on the right recently, a position he is clearly not comfortable in. The theory was that he could cut inside to use his shooting ability.

Ball control can be a real problem for a wide player when he is on the wrong side of the pitch.

Recalled at Hillsborough on Monday, Harriott was also restored to his natural position on the left. He was a different player, the confidence was back, he was lively, his decision making was good and he delivered two superb passes that resulted in goals for Marvin Sordell. The through ball for Sordell’s first goal was arguably the pass of the season.

Sordell netted a hat-trick, the first of his senior career, and like Harriott, the confidence oozed out of him.

The Bolton loanee is quick and has an eye for goal but he has to be used in the right way. Ideally, he likes to feed off a target man.

Sordell wants to play on the shoulder of the last defender, use his pace to break clear and get his shot away.

Harriott’s superb curved ball gave him the opportunity to get between Wednesday’s centre-backs and shoot beyond Chris Kirkland.

For the second, Harriott intercepted a poor pass and, again, put Sordell in on goal.

Sordell picked up on a loose back pass from Atdhe Nuhiu, broke clear and struck an unerring finish over Kirkland to complete his treble.

All three goals were very similar and allowed Sordell to use his pace. He is not a player who excels as a lone striker with his back to goal, his forte is to utilise his speed.

How often has he had decent balls put in front of him to run onto this season? Obviously he has limitations but if a team plays to his strengths, he will deliver a good goal return.

Hopefully, the talent of both Harriott and Sordell will be maximised during the last three games of the season.
