Mid-week Championship report

I had planned to do a Championship blog after the mid-week games, but it sort of got to the point where I didn't have alot to say as I hadn't seen much/any of the highlights. I will endeavour to give you something though as obviously this is the league my very team is in and I'd feel terrible if I didn't report every game they played in.

So mid-week, Swansea City were looking to recover from the away loss last weekend at Leeds United. Fortunately for us, we were at home against Coventry City. The reason being at home was fortunate for us was because we hadn't lost at home this season going into the game and pretty soon, it looked like that record was set to continue as Darren Pratley beat keeper Kieran Westwood with a header from a corner. Obviously it was nice to have him back in the squad after his suspension, and he showed his worth even further in the second half as his strike came back off the post for Scott Sinclair to tap in and extend the Swans' advantage. In the 56th minute, the Swans then conceded the first goal at home of the season as Ben Turner lashed in from a corner after Dorus De Vries made a decent save and once again none of the Swansea defenders reacted, much like Bradley Johnson's goal for Leeds against us last Saturday. We were able to hold on and keep our 100% home record and in a nice twist, we play Scunthorpe, who smashed 4 past Sheffield United on Tuesday, at home tomorrow and so hopefully we can keep that fantastic home record going for a little longer and then improve our stuttering away form next week. All that leaves for me to do is to summarise the mid-week scores from the Championship then:
Barnsley 5-2 Leeds United
Bristol City 0-2 Watford
Crystal Palace 4-1 Portsmouth
Doncaster Rovers 3-1 Norwich City
Hull City 2-0 Derby County
Ipswich Town 0-3 Queens Park Rangers
Leicester City 2-1 Cardiff City
Middlesborough 2-1 Burnley
Milwall 0-0 Reading
Preston North End 1-2 Nottingham Forest
Sheffield United 0-4 Scunthorpe United
Swansea City 2-1 Coventry

Right then guys, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I'll watch as much football as possible and bring you as brilliant a blog as I possibly can either Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, depending on when the games finish and also if I can do it Monday night before falling asleep. Hope you all enjoy your team's exploits this weekend. See you later
