Championship round up

Last updated : 16 March 2005 By Michael Morris
City's defeat tonight coupled with Gillingham winning and Coventry drawing means we have a three way tie for 22nd place.

City have a better goal difference and that could be our saviour. We have an 11 goal advantage that's worth the equivilent of an extra point.

We also have a game in hand but of course that only matters if you get something from that game.

It's very tight. Rotherham are all but down, they are hanging in there, tonight they beat Reading, but they are 16 points from safety with only 24 left to play for, sorry Millers time is nearly up.

Forest are 5 points off the safe zone, they do have two games in hand though. Then comes (from the bottom up) Gillingham, Coventry, Cardiff, Leicester, Brighton, Crewe, Plymouth and Watford. Only 4 points cover those eight teams.

You can perm any 2 from 9 who will join Rotherham.
