said it before but a winning streak in this league really rockets you up the table. anybody that wins 5 in a bounce is going to jump a lot places

That would be true in the Premier League (or any league) wouldn't it?

I get where he's coming from. The Championship tends to be quite bunched up and we've seen teams before that have been in the bottom half go on a run and finish in the play offs. Although yes you'd expect a significant climb in any league with 5 wins. You're both right! Happy Saturday.

Haven't mentioned him much lately....but great take and finish from Gayle yesterday. :lol:

Newcastle looked a bit fortunate...all Bristol from the highlights but wins while not playing well will build confidence. They'll be up there come May for sure.

Norwich looking good at Ipswich 

Has been a pretty even game to be honest with Ipswich possibly shading it. Ipswich have had a good goal ruled out for offside and a possible penalty not given.

Both teams had good spells in that first half and both look fairly decent.

well I remember we would go on rare winning streaks in Premier League and we would still never move position

It's more true in this league because there are more games, and most of the teams are more even in terms of quality. Quite often you'll see teams do well at the start and end up finishing in the bottom half, and teams who get of to a slow start, ending up finishing in and around the play-offs, sometimes even better.

We won 3/4 under Sherwood in 14/15 run in and moved up one place.

Nope - we only won 2 in a row at any point under Sherwood.

We beat West Brom & Sunderland then lost to Swansea & Manure
After drawing with QPR we beat Spurs then lost to Man City
We beat Everton then West Ham then lost every other game that season.

I think VillaChris meant 'three out of four', ie Spurs, Man City, Everton, West Ham.
