Championship Results 23rd January

Blackpool 3-2 Watford
With Blackpool 2-1 down in the 88th minute, things weren’t looking pretty for Iain Holloway. Neal Eardley’s assist had helped put Blackpool ahead in the 17th minute but that seemed like a very long time ago now. David Vaughan was given a chance to redeem himself after a disappointing performance in his last match whilst Daniel Nardiello and Rob Edwards were on the bench. Neal and David came close to scoring but it just wouldn’t go in.
Then Ian Holloway decided to bring Daniel on. Within a minute, Blackpool were level and within three minutes, Daniel’s assist allowed Brett Ormerod to grab a winner.

Middlesbrough 1-1 Swansea City
I’m not sure of the exact statistics of this match because the BBC Sport page wasn’t working then and still isn’t working now. I also couldn’t get BBC Cymru to work. But anyway, Danny Coyne was in goal for Middlesbrough but Rhys Williams didn’t play because he was out with a pelvic injury and even if it were possible to score from the treatment room you can’t do it with a dodgy pelvis.
Ashley Williams was back in the starting line-up for Swansea alongside Joe Allen and David Cotterill. Ashley’s clearances helped to ensure Boro didn’t grab a winner while Joe provided the assist for Swansea’s goal. David came close many times to getting a goal for himself but Danny just kept on saving his shots. David Cornell was on the bench.

Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Peterborough United
This was really quite a good result for Peterborough when you consider they had not one but two centre backs suspended, including Craig Morgan. But I can’t really blame Peterborough fans for not finding this consoling.
