Championship Results 2nd October 2010 Part 2

Ipswich Town 2-1 Leeds United
When I saw Leeds’ line-up yesterday, I thought the rumours about Jason Brown making his first appearance for Leeds must have been wrong. But no – although Jason started on the bench, he did come on after 62 minutes and he let in exactly the same number of goals as the player he replaced.
Sanchez Watt came off the bench ten minutes after Jason and set up Leeds’ goal.
Troy Brown was also a late substitute but he was playing for Ipswich, not Leeds.

Leicester City 3-1 Scunthorpe United
Leicester claimed their second win of the season over Scunthorpe and moved up two places in the league. You’ll never guess who their new manager’s going to be. What, you already know? Actually I’m not surprised. As one of Leicester’s representatives said, it was one of the world’s worst-kept secrets.
Andy King could have scored in the first minute but not many players are ready to score at that time in the match.

Middlesbrough 2-2 Portsmouth
When Portsmouth came to the Riverside, Middlesbrough probably thought they might actually win this one. And when they left the field 2-0 up at half-time, it looked as though the match could only go one way.
And it did go one way but not the way I expected. Portsmouth scored two in the second half to gain a share of the points.
Danny Coyne was on the bench for Middlesbrough.

Millwall 1-1 Burnley
I don’t think I will tell you how long ago Millwall last won. I’m just not sure I can count back that far. It is quite a high number.Burnley took the lead in the 22nd minute with Millwall equalising four minutes later
Steve Morison forced a good save frm the Burnley goalkeeper, as well as providing the assist for the goal.

Preston North End 1-1 Reading
Craig Morgan was back on the bench despite helping Preston to beat Leeds United 6-4 midweek. Paul Parry wasn’t in the squad.
Simon Church was back in the starting line-up after being a supersub for Reading last week but Hal Robson-Kanu missed out, presumably because he hadn’t recovered from the knock, without which Simon probably wouldn’t have been a supersub at all. Jake Taylor was on the bench.
