Championship Discussion - Season 2011-2012

[Oz]

West Ham 2 Millwall 1-not sure if that was the score or the number of casualties after the match.
Brum 0 Saints 0
Cardiff 1 Blackpool 3 Lashers move up to 4th
Hull and Reading games both postponed.

Notts Forest owner Nigel Doughty found dead at home in Lincolnshire.

[RoosterMarty]

Cardiff were 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go as well, could have moved up to second.

[Dirko]

Derby v Forest has been postponed..

The pitch & stadium were all good to go, the roads and pathways into it however are terrible....

[Jim05]

Portsmouth about to enter administration.
Will be deducted 10 points which puts them only out of the relegation zone by GD only.

[Jim05]

Neil Warnock named new Leeds manager

[RoosterMarty]

A Cardiff win last night would have put them 3 pts off top.

So of course they get pumped 3-0.

[Dirko]

Derby pumped 4 zip

[flanker]

West Ham back to the top after putting 4 past Blackpool on Tuesday for the 2nd time this season. Looked a bit dicey when Rob Green was sent off with 35 mins to play and Big Sam had no reserve keeper on the bench! Luckily midfielder Henri Lansbury wasn't really tested when he put the gloves on!

[Jim05]

Leicester 1-0 Derby

[Dirko]

Leicester 1-0 Derby

We're ******.

[Jim05]

Leicester 1-0 Derby

We're ******.

Probably will finish in the middle, wont get near the relegation zone but too far from top 6.
A lot of ground to make up in the final third of season.

[on the rails]

Leicester 1-0 Derby

We're ******.

You were lucky it was only 1-0 to be fair. At least it should have been 2-0 after Dyer hit the post late on and then from 3 yards with an open goal hit the cross bar with the rebound!

I am still not convinced by my Foxes who have yet to win back to back league games all season!

[Spargo]

Southampton move 4 pts clear on top after beating Leeds 1-0 this morning.
Leeds deadset controlled the game from start to finish but Saint's Lambert got one chance and that's all he needed. Kelvin Davis was Southampton's hero in goal though with numerous great saves. C'mon Cardiff, knock off the Hammers for us tonight!

[whufc]

hammers 2
cardiff 0

woohoo

[Spargo]

Southampton ease past Barnsley at home 2-0 thanks to an Adam Lallana brace. West Ham held to 1-1 draw against 2nd bottom Doncaster whilst Reading have now won 8 in a row after beating Leicester 3-1 at home.
Saints 3 points clear on top but both the Hammers and the Royals have a game in hand.
Pretty much down to these 3 for automatic promotion spots.

[Spargo]

Southampton get out of jail late at Milwall winning 3-2, Lambert another hat trick. If we go up and hold on to him he could really wreak havoc in the premier league. Reading trounce Barnsley 4-0 after their suprise midweek draw at Donny and move to 2nd, West Ham seem to be stumbling at the moment after getting a draw at Leeds. (the hammers still have a game in hand on the top 2). 9 games to go.

Other teams in the playoff race include Birmingham,Blackpool,Borough,Hull,Brighton,Cardiff and Leeds. Cardiff seem to be slipping though and Leeds may run out of time, although they've been good since Warnock took over.

[Jim05]

Some interesting results today.
Palace 1-0 Barnsley
Portsmouth 4-1 Brum, Brum hammered by the bottom side.
Brighton 2-0 Derby, Poyet has Albion up to 4th
Doncaster 0-3 Millwall
West Ham 1-1 Middlesbrough, Fourth consecutive 1-1 for the Hammers
Peterborough 3-1 Reading, Big upset there, Reading were in great form.
Hull 0-2 Southampton, Soton now 5 points clear on top.
Bristol City 0-2 Watford
Leeds 3-7 Forest, goal feast with 6 goals being scored within 15 minutes at start of second half, McCleary netting 5 goals for Forest

[Spargo]

Planets aligning for Southampton after this morning's results. (thankyou posh and borough)
Would have to majorly stuff it up not get automatic promotion now.

[RoosterMarty]

First time Leeds have conceded 7 at Elland Road.

I also read that McCleary had scored 9 goals in 106 games prior to todays 5 goal haul.

[Spargo]

Saints keep on winning Reading get another 3 points and the hammers look playoff bound after their 5th straight draw.
5 points clear of the royals and now 9 clear of the hammers - all but there
