The Giddy Heights Part II

Two games, four points. Still top.

A win at home against Hull followed by a 1-1 draw with Charlton last night, which has amended the T6H2H stats as follows:

1. WBA P8 W5 D2 L1 F19 A9 Pts 17
2. Stoke P8 W3 D3 L3 F11 A9 Pts 12
3. Charlton P7 W2 D3 L2 F10 A12 Pts 9
4. City P7 W2 D3 L2 F7 A9 Pts 9
5. Plymouth P7 W2 D2 L3 F9 A12 Pts 8
6. Watford P6 W0 D3 L3 F4 A9 Pts 3

The only other game that had any impact this table was WBA beating Plymouth 3-0 on Saturday. I'm not going to spend any time on T6vB3 as the two games in that subdivision went as planned with wins for WBA and Plymouth against Sheffield Wednesday and Colchester respectively.

Wednesday looked...well, errr...Donald Ducked.

All this means is that City move up one place in my hypothetical table, but more significantly I think last night's point in South East London may mean that in the long run Charlton may well end up spending next season in the Championship. They've bought in former City striker Leroy Lita in on loan for the rest of the month, the sort of move that indicates that Alan Pardew realises that the game may almost be up this season. They've only got one more home game against a top six team (WBA on 21st March), the last opportunity for them to actually beat a top six club.

The bookies still seem to hate us though. City's odds seem to be shortening, but we're still outsiders in the automatic promotion slots. I'm probably not going to bother looking at them again until after the Leicester game on Saturday. We've struggled there in the league - haven't won there since 25th March 1915...about a week after the attack on the Dardanelles began.

Talking of which...the favourites for this weekend in the Six Nations are Ireland, England and France. Hmmm. I'd agree with two of those.
