Saturday Championship Matches Thread

Recommended Posts

Saints not in action until Monday, but there are some very important games going on which will affect us. West Ham look likely to know us off the top for the first time in months, assuming they get anything from their home game with Forest.

 

Here's the fixtures and what we're after

 

Barnsley vs Millwall - Away win

Brum vs Watford - Away win

Blackpool vs Palace - Draw or away win

Bristol vs Doncaster - Irrelevant

Burnley vs Derby - Draw

Cardiff vs Pompey - As painful as it is to say it, away win

Coventry vs Boro - Home win

Leeds vs Ipswich - Away win

Posh vs Brompey - Home win

Reading vs Hull - Draw

Wham vs Forest - Away win

 

I can quite easily see Pompey and Cloterill just collapsing somehow. :rolleyes:

 

Any chance of sticky?

Come on Forest, Portsmouth and Coventry!

 

Erm, we haven't got a hope. The three teams below us will all win. I also think Birmingham will beat Watford although Watford could scrape a draw in that game.

 

Coventry could draw with Boro although with the form they're in this seems unlikely.

Do we really care about Barnsley v Millwall?

 

No, but Barnsley are 10 points closer to us, so I went with that. I think the best we can hope for there is a shed load of injuries and suspensions for Millwall ahead of next weeks cup tie.

 

It is looking like a pretty bad weekend for us based purely on the fixtures, but there is normally at least one cock up amongst the top teams. Who would have given Bristol City a prayer at St Mary's (apart from Saints fans).

come on forest...! We've lost in games that were nailed wins already this season, and this league is very very unpredictable so never result is ''guaranteed'' - forest have a chance.

 

No, Forest DON'T have a chance. They are abysmal. Their recent results show they couldn't beat anyone right now. I'd settle for Saints matching (or beating) Wham's score today. I'd settle for maintaining a lead on goal difference by Monday 10pm.

Significant half time scores

 

Wham 0-0 Forest

Cardiff 1-1 Skates

Brum 1-0 Watford

Coventry 1-0 Boro

Reading 0-0 Hull

 

That's a great half IMO. Our 6 closest rivals for promotion and only Brum are winning at the moment. I'd taken those scores at FT any day of the week.
