Championship games 13/03/12 (Was: "Best scores for tonight?")

[Thunder Bolt]

derby 1-0

Tudgay got a second yellow and red. Pity it will only be a one match ban.

 

[Silent Bob]

The table really does make for good reading now with the games in hand melting away for teams. Boro, Hull, and Brum all have only one on us. Birmingham seem to be slipping up - too many games catching up with them maybe?

 

[kevo]

Wish Reading had won to put SCC under a bit of pressure. Still, pretty good results for us!

 

[sams dad]

As an added bonus tonight, Crawley dropped more points.

Yeah definitely. I was thinking this earlier. By the end of the season their players will be exhausted from all the efforts they have put into the League and Europa Cup games and they also had an FA cup run too!! I can really see them beginning to drift away a bit

They're only two points behind, same games played, West Ham three behind witha game in hand. Plenty of pressure on Lambert and Redbridge.

But they experienced that last season with Huddersfield and others on their tail, they know how to deal with it, and they seem to be back to form. They'll definitely go up.

I know. I just can't stand them.

Results tonight are pretty good IMO. Means that, with their games in hand only two clubs 'could' now go ahead of us. As we play Blackpool, WHU, Brum, The Boro and Royals - and we finally have Vicente fit for some meaningful minutes on the pitch - our destiny is now pretty much in our own hands. Scary ! Definitely squeaky bum time !

 

[Seagulltonian]

I thought all the other teams did pretty well with the results for us tonight.

Definitely need to win on Saturday to keep the run going, and the pressure on the teams above us.

Keeps it very interesting for the run-in, with alot of the top teams to play each other still

That table is very tight. Anyone down to Palace could be in the play offs. A result at Blackpool would be very welcome!

 

[Silent Bob]

I know. I just can't stand them.

And its another big weekend where a lot of the teams in contention play each other. leeds v west ham, birmingham vs middlesborough and us at blackpool. We could be 4th or 9th by sunday night.

 

[darters74]

I'd take a point at Blackpool now. Be cheering on Palace Saturday too at home to Hull.

Erk!

 

[loco61]

On your second point, I have to concur (although I hate to say it)

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Zaha is suspended so I wouldnt bank on it.

When i suggested Birmingham would drift out of the play offs recently i was called sorts. Never underestimate TB1

With Leicester winning they'll see the next few games as critical to their season as they need about 25 points from their remaining 10 games to make the playoffs. That could be good for us as their next 2 are Blackpool (a) and Hull (h).

Sadly and looking at their board, and also looking at their position, they seem to have given up but hopefully they might do us a favour or two.
