What about the top of the division one point separating 1st to 5th?
Not worried about the top of the Championship...three big losses in a row concerns me more :(
Relegation is sorted now so don't worry about looking down

Bit early to call but at least you can take solace in Wigan going down with you.

Not early at all, 8 point gap (effectively 9 for Millwall). The bottom 3 are in League One.

There's no such thing as a 98th minute in the championship.

Mixed week for Boro, 2 wins and a loss against 3 good sides. Good enough to keep us in contention.

Why did you have to play 3 games in a week?

Interesting to hear 15(!) of these Second Division clubs have changed managers so far this season.

Could it reach 20 by season's end? Will Millwall's Acting Manager get the permanent gig?

He is not the acting manager, he is the manager. He has the job until the end of the season.

OK, temporary manager then - not very permanent. But the point being made is about that very high number of 15 managers gone - and it's not even the end of the season yet.

All managers are temporary, that's the nature of contracts. Some are just more temporary than others.

All teams have 18 points up for grabs and Town haven't won for 6 games so not counting any chickens yet.

Except he is Spanish right?

& he had a decent playing career.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. That's why I succeed." -Michael Jordan
