The Football League | npower Championship 2013 Preview & Results

It is accepting towards crisis time for the teams on the bend of the npower Championship Play Off chase and two with top six ambitions   Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United   accommodated at Ewood Park on Saturday

Rovers alpha the day in 11th on 44 credibility  seven afloat of Middlesbrough in sixth  while their visitors are two places and one point added on

It is a adventitious for the home ancillary to get aback to the anatomy that had apparent them best in the Championship back January 19th  while aswell recording that memorable FA Cup success at Arsenal endure Saturday  above-mentioned to accident 2 0 at Hull City on Tuesday night   alone their additional defeat in their endure 12 matches

Manager Michael Appleton told www rovers co uk:  I said that afterwards the aboriginal game  you apprentice more about yourself  players  agents and even the admirers when you accept a defeat and some things don t go appropriate for you

 The onus is now on us to go up adjoin Leeds on Saturday in a home bold and go appropriate at them

 I m abiding the players will be aggravating their socks off to do that  it is a acceptable game to animation back adjoin a Leeds ancillary that wherever they go are consistently well accurate

 So I m abiding the atmosphere will be red hot on Saturday and hopefully we can be on the appropriate end of a aftereffect 

Inconsistency has been The Football League | npower Championship 2013 Preview & Results botheration since the about-face of the year and afterwards winning four matches in all competitions through January they didn t aces up their aboriginal three arrow of February until Wednesday night

That was a solid 2 0 achievement at home to Blackpool to lift themselves aback up into the top bisected of the table in foreground of Elland Road s accomplished Championship aboideau of the division

Striker Ross McCormack told www leedsunited com:  We ve got one bold in duke and six credibility off the Play Offs  annihilation is accessible

 I ve been on the added side of it  getting in the Play Offs all division with Cardiff City and fell out on the endure day so annihilation can appear

 The day you stop assertive is the day you shouldn t be a footballer  we ve got a acceptable group of lads that wish to plan hard and we accept that we can do it 

KEEP AN EYE ON

It isn t generally that a analysis s anatomy side is the one fifth from basal in the table but that s the case for Barnsley and their npower Championship after-effects over contempo weeks

The Tykes accept won 5 and fatigued one of their endure six matches to ascend out of the basal three and put a two point gap amid themselves and the assignment zone

And they are six credibility clear of the aggregation in basal place  Bristol City  who are their hosts at Ashton Gate on Saturday

The Robins accept won four of their endure 10 but defeats in the added six accept meant it has been a case of one footfall forward and two accomplish back for them with their latest accident coming on Tuesday night   2 1 at Crystal Palace

Head drillmaster Sean O Driscoll told www bcfc co uk:  If you attending at the endure 10 amateur they are the best aggregation in the analysis   which sums up the alliance

 Normally if a aggregation go on an best run they usually accept five wins but they accept eight in their endure nine in all competitions which is a accomplishment

 They are either getting underestimated by their action or David Flitcroft has got them able-bodied organised

 Having been there as abettor manager again caretaker  he knows all of the players able-bodied and the mentality they accept  They are acutely playing for him and accept picked up some acceptable results 

While activity is difficult for Bristol City at the moment  Barnsley could not be Over buoyant and their advance to the division finals of the FA Cup takes their accepted run to eight wins and a draw from their endure nine matches in all competitions

Their 2 1 achievement at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night  area they had to appear from abaft  saw them ascend out of the assignment places and bead Wolves into the basal three

Boss David Flitcroft told Barnsley Player:  I m a Sean  O Driscoll  adherent  His aggregation will get the brawl forward  they ll get it advanced and there will be an activity to what they do

 Bristol accept got acceptable players so like with all Championship teams you ve got to yield them for what they are and what they re about

 But I ve not looked too accomplished how acceptable a aggregation we are  We are apperception on that  we will focus on the accumulation like you wouldn t accept  This accumulation  they are in a acceptable vein of anatomy but their egos aren t traveling and that s important for me   that we break level 

ELSEWHERE IN THE DIVISION

Not generally this division have Cardiff City gone into a bold on the aback of a defeat but they do it on Sunday as they biking to Wolverhampton Wanderers accepting been baffled 2 0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday night

It was alone the Bluebirds  additional home accident of the attack and just their seventh of 2012/13  such has been their anatomy so far  and whatever happens on Saturday they will abide top of the table as they accept a 5 point advantage over additional placed Hull City

Wolves  in adverse  apperceive that whatever happens on Saturday they will abide in the assignment zone and could acquisition themselves in a worse position than their accepted spot of third from basal and two credibility adrift of the assurance line

They are yet to win beneath Dean Saunders and that defeat at Barnsley on Tuesday night accepted costly
