Better than Cheltenham though - 1 point from 11 games and 0 goals

Cheltenham have finally scored , there wives are finally getting shagged tonight.

QPR manager Gareth Ainsworth sacked yesterday. Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson booted out today.

And Joey Barton got the elbow as well!

Sheffield Wednesday managed a rare win over fellow strugglers Rotherham.

Jon Dahl Tomasson is leaving B.......... (I'm not allowed to swear) Rovers and is reportedly set to take the Sweden job.

He's being replaced by John Eustace who's last job was at Birmingham City.
They want him as soon as possible to get him with the squad before Saturday's Championship home game against Stoke

Drama with Southampton's match called off because of a major fire.

Looks like Plymouth Argyle have sacked their manager Ian Foster with six matches left. I can see Neil Warnock ending up back at his old club to try and pull off a survival act in just the same way as he did at Huddersfield Town last season. Plymouth Argyle are only just above the relegation zone by one point. The team below them: Huddersfield Town.

Whichever team finishes 3rd in the Championship will have to really raise themselves to go again in the playoffs.
The top three separated by one point .
It's been a titanic struggle between the three of em.

The pressure must be ridiculous .
Epic battle.

With 3 teams in the Championship head & shoulders above the rest, you could end up with the farcical situation of having a team like Norwich gaining promotion who are currently 19 points adrift.
For some daft reason 46 games aren't enough. We already have a couple of knock-out cup competitions, I thought this was suppose to be a league, no need to tag on a Playoff scenario.

I recall the sage comment of I think Joe Royle when Oldham lost out to Leeds in the first year of the play-offs and described it as "the longest cup competition in the world".
