Burnley win to edge closer to play off places

19 April 2011 23:49
A 3 - 1 home win over Middlesbrough has put Burnley level on points with Forest and Hull as the three teams bear down on Leeds Utd in 6th. Leeds have 65 points and sit in 6th place with Nottingham Forest, Hull and Burnley all on 63 points in 7th, 8th and 9th respectively. Forest, Hull and Burnley are all 12 points behind Cardiff with four games to go. City have a superior goal difference but need one point to guarantee a play off place. With Burnley enjoying back to back wins at Turf Moor I hope we go to Lancashire in 18 days time having wrapped up our season. Hopefully the pressure on Leeds, knowing they have three sides breathing down their neck, will kick them into action against Reading and get a result at Elland Rd on Friday evening (7:45pm). Leeds might find themselves in 7th at kick off if Forest beat Leicester with that match kicking off at the City Ground at 5:15pm. The next Championship action this week is at Portman Rd on Thursday )7:45pm). Ipswich face Norwich in the East Anglian derby. Cardiff and QPR are officially Tractor Boys for the day.
