It’s that time again. Saturday afternoon brings just the one
Premier League fixture but also the usual avalanche of action across the
Football League. Let’s start with a run-through of today’s fixtures.
The best of the Championship games is probably at Swansea, where Bristol City, who after a run of six successive league defeats appointed Nigel Pearson and immediately won at Middlesbrough in midweek, while talking of high-impact managerial appointments Mick McCarthy’s Cardiff juggernaut heads to Boro on a six-match winning run. Rotherham’s game against Reading might be 22nd v 5th but Reading have four points from their last six and the early-season pace-setters could be out of the play-off places by the end of the day (I write this without knowing the result of the early kick-off at Bournemouth).
