Championship 12 months ago

[Since1971]

I have just taken a look at the Championship table for this time last year after 14 matches played. It strikes me that Burnely, Leicester and Rangers are presently going great guns. It is also worth mentioning that the 3 clubs that went up last year were already in the top 5 this time last year. If it were to happen again I would like to think it would be Rangers, Leicester and Reading that go up. The table also shows that our current goal difference of +9 is not so bad after all. It fills me with encouragement that we are still bang on track despite a few recent blips (one defeat and a couple of draws, and I call that a blip)! Reading will be tough on Saturday but the lads can get a result there.
