Stoke Slide to 2nd

Stoke City's Mamady Sidibe

Despite a 2-1 victory over Bristol City, Stoke City drop to 2nd place this week. West Bromwich Albion, 0-1 over Wolverhampton on Tuesday and 1-2 over Norwich on Saturday, take over the top spot, 6 points richer than last week. The only other movement at the top of the Championship table was another swap: Hull City continue their climb despite a 2-0 loss to Sheffield United on Saturday, due to their 1-3 victory over Barnsley on Tuesday.

P Team Pts Move
1 West Bromwich Albion 77 up arrow
2 Stoke City 75 down arrow
3 Hull City 72 up arrow
4 Bristol City 71 down arrow
5 Watford 69
6 Crystal Palace 68
7 Ipswich Town 65

(Full table)

That leaves 2 more games for the Potters to keep fighting for every inch (deja vu, I know - I mistakenly thought there were two games left as of last week, but it was three). Hopefully a win against dead-last Colchester this Saturday doesn't require too much fighting.

Hull City (#3) hosts Crystal Palace (#6) on Saturday. If Stoke wins and Crystal Palace wins or ties, then Stoke is in.

And Rawlins can stay in Texas to see the Aztex first game.
