What a strange week it has been in the Championship only 1 of the top 8 sides winning,who would have thought that.A disastrous week for West Brom losing to Wolves and then losing there 3rd straight league game.Not only that they lose there skipper Davies for the season with a broken foot and another sending off the 3rd they have had in the last 3 home games.The defeat last night and the injury to Davies has cost them any chance of finishing in the top 2.One of the main problems they have is that there big players are not performing,Koumas,Kamara are not playing well at the moment,if theses players do not rediscover their form they will struggle to make the play offs.
Lets Preview this weekends fixtures then starting with another local derby for the Baggies:
Albion v Blues: 1-2
A very difficult game for both sides,Blues have a very good record against Albion in recent years and i expect them to win again on Sunday.At the moment Albion are not playing well,and unlike Blues who can play badly and still win Albion can't.Darren Carter has performed well for Albion every time he has got the chance recently but Mowbray does not seem to fancy him,why i do not know.Albion might have a chance if they can freshen the side up a bit maybe bringing Ellington in to the side after his suspension and resting Phillips,and starting Carter in place of Chaplow.At the back i think a recall for Perry is due with the problems they have got there.This will enable Mcshane to continue at right back.I do not think this will happen though and that's why i think Blues who are missing Mcsheffrey who is a big loss for them will win this Derby comfortably.
My Free Tip is for Blues to win 2-1 after going 2-0 up.
Soton V Colchester 3-0
This will be an easy win for the Saints with Colchester slipping down the table after what was looking to be a very good season for them.(still a good 1st season for them)Saints having lost their last 3 games also need the 3 points desperately to keep pace with the top 7.
Saints will win this game and keep the pressure on the teams above.MyFree Tip 3-0 to the Saints.
Derby V Cardiff 0-1
Derby are another of the top sides that are struggling for form recently.This is Derby last game against any of the top 8 sides in what looks like on paper a very easy run in.I think Cardiff will have a bit too much for Derby and will win what i am sure is going to be a tight game.Cardiff will have to start the game the way they finished against the Saints on Tuesday if they want to take all the points.My free Tip a 1-0 win for Cardiff.
Preston V Burnley 2-0
A Lancashire derby is our next game with Preston seemingly winning 1 and losing1.This game will be different though due to the fact that Burnley can not seem to win at the moment.After all their early season promise when they were at the top of the table they are now looking over their shoulders with only 4 points separating them from the bottom 3.Derby games are unpredictable usually and if Burnley are going to win a game this season this will probably be it.But my Free tip is a 2-0 win for Preston.
Sheff Wed v Wolves 0-2
This will be another win for Wolves away from home where they have been very good this season.Wolves concede very few goals in matches and are always likely to nick a goal.The Blip in midweek was expected due to the fact they had to put in a very high intensity performance only a couple of days previous to beat West Brom.With a few more days rest they will get back to winning ways against a Sheff Wed side who's season is over now they have passed the 50 points mark. My free tip 2-0 to Wolves.
Sunderland v Hull 2-0
Another side who did not win when they would have been expecting to in midweek.This game though will go to plan for Sunderland,i expect them to beat a Hull side that have picked up in recent weeks to give them a chance of staying up,but i think Sunderland will have to much class for them.My Free tip is for Sunderland to get back to winning ways 2-0.
That's my Free Tips for this weekend and if they come true this is how the table will look on Sunday Afternoon:
1 Blues 73
2 Sundland 70
3 Derby 70
4 Preston 68
5 Wolves 68
6 Cardiff 66
7 Albion 63
8 Soton 63
Obviously as always i do not want this to happen i want Albion to win all their games and the rest to lose or draw (come on you Baggies).
