League table after Tuesday's games

24 March 2010 09:18
Cardiff are still 6th, tonight's opponents Sheffield Utd drop to 9th. Blackpool move into 7th place after their 5 - 1 win over Swansea. Middlesbrough go 8th.Cardiff have a four point gap over Blackpool and City now play twice before Blackpool play again. City COULD open up a healthy gap with victories tonight against Sheff Utd and on Saturday lunchtine in the live Sky game against Crystal Palace. Of course we could end up losing both games and dragging ourselves into a right battle for 6th place. But ever the optimist I'd rather look at things positively.A small run now of three or four decent results could turbo boost City into the play offs. Let's do the oppostite of what happened last season.Results:Tuesday 23 March Blackpool5Swansea1Ormerod 13 , 68 Evatt 45 Burgess 50 Taylor-Fletcher 82 Van der Gun 84 Attend: 9149 Half-time: 2-0 Bristol City5Barnsley3Haynes 2 , 63 Maynard 43 , 56 Hartley pen 76 Colace 3 Bogdanovic 25 A Gray 81 Attend: 13009 Half-time: 2-2 Doncaster0Newcastle1Carroll 59 Attend: 14850 Half-time: 0-0 Ipswich0Plymouth2Wright-Phillips 34 J Mason 78 Attend: 19316 Half-time: 0-1 Middlesbrough2Preston0Killen 29 Franks 90 Attend: 16974 Half-time: 1-0 Nottm Forest2Crystal Palace0Morgan 45 Tyson 82 Attend: 20025 Half-time: 1-0 QPR1Derby1Cook 45 S Barker 67 Attend: 12569 Half-time: 1-0 Scunthorpe4Peterborough0Hayes 15 Thompson 25 , 64 Togwell 44 Attend: 4995 Half-time: 3-0 Top half of Table:Latest match Tuesday,23rd March 2010PldHomeAwayOverallPtsEPWDLFAWDLFAWDLFA1Newcastle United 381540469874261923114722880+442West Bromwich Albion 381324412097335222297764275+343Nottingham Forest 3916133913496161920109553270+234Leicester City 3710632915675172016138463561+115Swansea City 398831511785182015168333161+26Cardiff City 379452915838333117713624658+167Blackpool 39115440203792030141213605054+108Middlesbrough 3986622196583024141114524353+99Sheffield United 381072341944111931141113535053+310Doncaster Rovers 3987525215682526131313504752+311Coventry City 3887425225591929131213445151-712Bristol City 3989334323791527111612495949-10
