championship football

Tam,

I don't know what they're doing away from home, but they ought to try it at home as well. Whatever it is, its getting the points.

[Guess]

The way Plymouth play, they are more likely to get results at the 2 Sheffield matches, and then blow the home match with Charlton.

You weren't far out. Only a 94th minute penalty saved humiliation at home against the Addicks. One good win up north anyway.

Almost right The 94th minute penalty was Andy Gray putting Charlton ahead.

My eyes an BBC internet reporting there. The BBC record it now as a Gray penalty 90+2 and equaliser (not penalty) 90+4. Scored from the kick off maybe.

I don't know what they're doing away from home, but they ought to try it at home as well. Whatever it is, its getting the points.

They've been watching Chelsea to see how it's done. 9th away win on the trot yesterday. A record of some sorts but I don't know what.

It could be a good idea... goal difference can be cruel

Hey JD, a point at home to the league's Away specialists - you must be well chuffed

Beeblebrox, a lot of seeing, and not much sawing

[Guess]

I only found these two when the BBC was unreachable. Much better. You can see all leagues at the same time.

I like the Sporting Life link - excellent. Much better coverage than BBC - I'll certainly use it in the future. Thank you very much.

On the Championship Football front, yet another dismal home defeat for the Green Army

[Guess]

Before posting that I was checking on Plymouth. They were one nil up at home at the time. That didn't last long.

What is this home problem all about?

What is this home problem all about?

I wish I knew. What used to be Fortress Home Park has become a happy hunting ground for even the worst teams.

[Beeblebrox]

Yes, they've done it again. QPR have beaten the leaders (Wolves) closing the gap for eveyone elses team to the top. We also beat Birmingham when they were top in case you forgot. Just a shame we don't beat anyone else. Though we are above Plymouth...

[Big Boy]

Though we are above Plymouth...

Yes, its your turn on top again.

With 2 home games on the trot now, you could be staying there for a while, although I don't think the opposition on 13 Dec will be that good

Palce are creeping up the table after a dismal start. Still think they will make the playoffs.

Hey Big Boy! The day has arrived we're on our way. Though if you don't think you can win & I have no idea about us, this probably has draw written all over it allowing Mr Crystal Palace (well done lindosfan1) to cement his position above us

[Big Boy]

Good shout Beeblebrox. I would have called it as an away win. However, I wasn't aware how long it had been since QPR had scored their last away goal.

[lindosfan1]

Palace are still getting better, QPR and Plymouth trying hard, still to early in the season to see who will get the automatic promotion and play off places. This league seems to get some real surprises look at Hull last year.

I don't know why the format's gone "screwy", but I think there's a couple of guys out there that may get the gist of what I'm on about...
