Gills get a point and the fans celebrate not dropping out of the league. What a very low bar for a club the chairman was taking to the Championship.
Isn't their owner basically another TS? Promised the world and hasn't delivered , just goes through loads of managers with different styles.
Took the words out of my mouth! Very similar to Carlisle. Birmingham buck the trend but it seems like the brash spotlight seeking Americans who buy clubs tend to fail completely
Birmingham dropping to L1 in the first place was a massive failure, all caused by their owners bringing in Rooney

It's actually worked out better for them in the long run though because of the different financial rules in place. They've basically been allowed to buy a Championship level team without having to fall in line with the loss limits that Championship sides have to fit within.

Indeed, though I doubt it was a deliberate attempt to get around the Championship spending rules!
Seven points dropped from winning positions after 80 minutes in the last three games. Now they are five points adrift of automatics.
A lot of teams are choking in L2! When compared to the Championship and L1, the automatic promotion places will be achieved with a very low points total.
4th win in a row for Derby, and out of the bottom 3 now!
Looking increasingly likely that after a decent start, Oxford will end up going straight back down.
Just 1 win in 11 for them now and they have to play 3 of the top 4 in their last 7 games.
Anyone from 15th down is still involved in the relegation fight. Will need 50pts to stay up this season probably.
It also looks like anyone down to Millwall in 13th could make the play offs with a determined run so it’s going to be a Wild West saloon fight in the Championship between now and the end of the season, with Preston in 14th playing the piano whilst it’s all kicking off. There’s likely to be late ‘surprises’ at both ends of the Championship table this season.

Millwall would probably need to take at least 19 points from their last 7 games to make it, which is highly unlikely. They still have to play Sheff Utd and Burnley away.
The Championship as always is the most exciting league for the neutral, with loads of closely matched teams. Sunderland are the only team by themselves, too far off the top 3 to fight for the automatic places, but 13 points ahead of 5th so a 99.9% cert for the playoffs.

I seem to recall they’ve got previous end of season form in making that sort of run so I wouldn’t rule them out just yet, maybe wait a game or two to be safe.
