Championship Results 12th December Part 1

Coventry 3-2 Peterborough United
If Freddy Eastwood wants to get back into the Wales squad, goals can only help him. A hat-trick? Even better. And if I say his goals were good, it’s not just my bias talking.
Peterborough defender Craig Morgan didn’t have quite such a good day but TeleText says he got an assist.

Doncaster Rovers 1-0 Bristol City
Doncaster aren’t going down without a fight. On this evidence, they’re not going down at all. Gareth Roberts played the full match and although John Oster played well and came close to scoring but he was substituted in the final minute of normal time. Oh well, he can’t say he didn’t get 90 minutes. Lewin Nyatanga and Gavin Williams both featured for Bristol City.

Ipswich 3-1 Blackpool
A great result for Ipswich but not such a good result for the Welsh players. Neal Eardley made some good crosses and got the assist for Blackpool but David Vaughan was sent off for two bookable offences.

Leicester City 3-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Leicester got back to winning ways and they probably couldn’t have done it without Andy King, who scored their second and third goals. Nicky Adams was on the bench.

Preston North End 2-0 Plymouth Argyle
Paul Parry played the first 69 minutes for Preston – he probably wasn’t needed after that. Preston’s Carl Fletcher (who nearly scored) and Darcy Blake (who was substituted after 78 minutes) probably tried their hardest but it’s not easy when you play for Plymouth. Kyle Letheren was their substitute goalkeeper. Maybe it’s worth giving him a run? Boaz Myhill and Mark Crossley played their first games in goal for a while – Mark was on the winning side and Bo got a clean sheet.
