Happy Night for City as Play-Off Rivals Falter

A midweek programme in the Championship saw none of the Top 6 sides in action but three sides just outside the play-off zone, each of whom would have overtaken City and potentially dropped them to 8th place, all failed to take advantage leaving City in 5th and racking up another game in hand over them.


The Wurzles of Brizzle Zity had enjoyed 7 wins in 8 games to rise to 7th but fell to 8th after a 1-0 loss at the Championship's other form side of the moment, Doncaster Rovers. Donny scored inside 4 minutes and had few problems holding out for victory although the visitors missed a couple of excellent chances. Ha ha ha.

What's this? Is Swansea City's bubble bursting?

Just as the whole country were praising Swansea City and they were high on the back of an unbeaten run of 16 games stretching back to mid-November, The Jacks crashed 2-0 at Watford, the Londoners starting the evening in the bottom three. Both goals came in the opening half-hours and Swansea were well beaten, never looking like finding a way back into the game. Ha ha ha.


Finally, Burnley avoided defeat at home to Coventry City by the skin of their teeth with Chris Eagles netting a 90th minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw. By all accounts, they deserved that result however.


City now head Burnley - who now stand 7th - by a substantially better goal difference, Bristol City - now 8th - by 1 point and Swansea City - who stayed 9th - by 3 points. More than that, Cardiff now enjoy 4, 4 and 3 games in hand respectively plus a better goal difference over them.


What a good night it was then!
