City stay 19th after Saturdays results

The bottom of the table battle between Rotherham and Forst did no club any favours with the game ending 0 - 0. Gillingham the other team in the bottom three lost 2 - 0 at Watford. City therefore stay 5 points above the dsrop zone with a game to play (today at West Ham). The two teams immediately below City also failed to win. Coventry went down at Preston while Plymouth's 0 - 0 draw brngs them lvele on points with City but behind on goal difference.

Next Saturdays opponents Brighton are the team one place above us. They lost yesterday so keep a 4 point cushion but have played two games more. If City can get something at Upton Park today and then beat Brighton next week then we'd move up another place.
