Full fixture list on monday.

The Coca-Cola Football League Championship
Barnsley v Birmingham, 15:00
Burnley v Cardiff, 15:00
Colchester v Leeds, 15:00
Derby v Coventry, 15:00
Norwich v West Brom, 15:00
Plymouth v Leicester, 15:00
Preston v Southend, 15:00
QPR v Luton, 15:00
Sheff Wed v Ipswich, 15:00
Southampton v Sunderland, 17:15
Stoke v Crystal Palace, 15:00
Wolverhampton v Hull, 15:00

Saints v Sunderland looks the pick of the bunch and could be a cracker!

As a Watford fan I'm hoping QPR vs Luton ends up in a draw which does no favours for both temas!

Although that would be 2 local derbies down the drain

It's up for grabs now. Brum lost, Derby drew. Tough game coming up.

Wolves are back. I'm not sure how I want the Sunderland, Southampton game to go now.

Probably a Sunderland win is best.

Wolves back in 5th, but it's bloody tight at the top now. The top 3 seem to be moving away from the rest. As it stands now, we would meet West Brom in the play-off semis, which is no good. Wolves v West Brom at the new Wembley, for a place in the Premiership - imagine that!

WEHEY!!! Get some of that

[Allblackdup]

Gutted Cardiff lost again! That's 4 in a row now and i think we've blown the play offs now. 10th place and the lowest we've been all season!

What really upsets me is how we can start so well and lead the table and now throw even a play off place away in the last 6 games!

First time i've seen Sunderland play this season tonight against Southampton. Missed the second half, but was very impressed by the way the team played, how organised they are and i can see why they are doing so well!
Much rather Cardiff had been crap to begin with (like sunderland) and are now top of the table!

At the start of the season I was convinced Cardiff were going to go up as champions. They gave us a proper thumping earlier this season. It is starting to get very close in the top 10 though, 5th and 6th places are still very much up for grabs.

Yeah me too and i remember that game really well.

Cardiff have beaten most of the top sides and really well in some cases - Wolves and Preston for example, but as we all know, its over 46 games in a season and no new investment or stadium or anything else is going to matter, if the players don't perform week in, week out.

Going to be a very interesting end of the season for sure.

You've got a good young team there mate, I don't think it will be your turn this season but if you keep improving as you are I think you'll be nailed on for promotion next year.

Can Sunderland still win the league? And if so, would they be the first team go from 24th place, to 1st place, in one season?

Personally, i don't think so. Only because there's still a gap to Derby, Birmingham have another game in hand, and mainly because i see Derby and/or Birmingham finishing above them.

Hmm, hard not to see them as favourites now; the Mackems have the league to lose now! And from 24th in the table. amazing stuff...

Crumbs, it's a midlands traffic jam in that league predictor!

Mine was a bit different

1 Wolves +45 81
2 Sunderland -1 79

Wolves are about to go on a good run and Sunderland will slip up. Birmingham and West Brom missed out on the playoffs unfortunately

I guess we didn't see that 32-0 win at Birmingham coming did we?

Not looking good for West Brom at the moment, 1-0 to the Owls and not long to go...

Good quote from Tony Mowbray after we beat them "we'll finish with more points than Sunderland this season"
Not a chance now
