Championship Results 27th March Part 1

Barnsley 0-1 Doncaster Rovers
Doncaster kept their play-off campaign going with an away win over Barnsley, who look set to finish in mid-table but have done well considering their bad start to the season.
Gareth Roberts and John Oster both played for Doncaster but Brian Stock is still out with a back injury.

Coventry City 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Coventry are now nine points behind the play-offs so I wouldn’t expect them to get in now although maybe next season, if they can have a good start. Sheffield Wednesday still have something very important to play for – survival.
Freddy Eastwood was given the start he wanted but I think maybe his manager wasn’t very happy with his lack of goals, he was taken off at half-time.

Crystal Palace 1-2 Cardiff City
Cardiff have stopped looking vulnerable. They’re up to fourth now and, more importantly, ahead of Swansea City. Crystal Palace are now four points from safety.
Darcy Blake played the full match for Cardiff again. Adam Matthews and Aaron Wildig were on the bench. Adam very sensibly says he’d love Ryan Giggs to play for Wales agin.

Derby County 1-0 Leicester City
Derby’s win lifted them to nine points away from the relegation zone. They needed to win – and beating Leicester City is probably one of the sweetest victories.
Unfortunately, Derby’s goal came from Leicester’s Andy King. He passed back towards his keeper, who made no attempt to gather it, only for it to hit a bump in the grass and roll into the goal. I don’t know why the keeper was letting it run in the first place. Andy made up for it later when he cleared a goal attempt rather than helping it into the net.
Robbie Savage kept his place in Derby’s starting line-up. Having already had a go in goal, he tried his hand at refereeing too. At last according to Neil Warnock, whose side Queen’s Park Rangers played Derby midweek.
Nicky Adams was on the bench for Leicester.
