Since my last post, Town have played twice and won twice, stopping the slump of bad form they had encountered in January and early February 2015.
Firstly, Town beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 at home and last weekend Town had a good away win 2-1 against Fulham. Daryl Murphy continues to score and is on 20 goals for the season, a huge part of Town’s success this season.
Well the Championship remains very tight at the top and tonight Middlesborough went top with a 1-1 draw away at Birmingham. Last Saturday Derby drew 3-3 with Rotherham and Town remain in fourth position but only 3 points behind leaders Middlesborough.
Bournemouth drew at home last Saturday against Huddersfield and Watford and Norwich are into the fifth and sixth play off positions. It is very close at the top and it is a well known fact that any side in this division can beat any other and the race for promotion remains very competitive as is every game in the Championship.
Town’s next game is home vs Reading (this coming Saturday..Sat 21 February 2015). Reading are in the quarter finals of the FA cup and playing well at the moment so again it will be a good test for Town to get a result there. If Jay Tabb plays for Town he would give 110% against his old club. Town have the players to win the game and it is all about physical and mental toughness to get results and points from every remaining game to the end of the season now for Town to maintain their promotion push.
