We are currently in 11th place but couple of good results could see any team move up or down several places.
There were two huge shocks in Division 1 this weekend. Of course the main one was City coming back from being 2 down but at Carrow Rd it was a difficult afternoon for the league leaders. Norwich City had publicly stated last week they were taking a huge gamble by investing a lot of money into the sqaud and going all out for promotion. A s**t or bust scenario. How cruel to then let Bradford City, 2nd from bottom win 1 - 0. I bet it was Delia and not one of her casseroles that was simmering.
I hope that Bradford used up all their luck in that one game. Cardiff visit Valley Parade next Saturday.
West Brom are second after beating local rivals Walsall 2 - 0 on Friday night. It made up for the opening day humiliation when Walsall beat the Baggies 4 - 1 at the Bescot.
West Brom have 50 points.
Sheffield Utd are third after a 3 - 0 win at The Priestfield Stadium over Gillingham. 4th come Sundaerland, they beat struggling Nottingham Forest 1 - 0.
The teams in 5th, 6th and 7th. Preston, Ipswich and Wigan respectively all have 43 points. City currently have 38. Preston moved into 5th place after a 2 - 1 win at West Ham. Ipswich and Wigan both drew.
At the bottom Wimbledon are 10 points away for the safety zone. They lost at Crewe. Bradford are 5 points ahead after their win at Norwich while Derby County occupy the third relegation spot after losing at Stoke. Derby have 24 points. 4 behind local rivals Forest who are in 21st place. What an earth has happened to Nottingham Forest?
The bottom four have all been in the Premiership in recent years and it looks like three from those four could be following Sheff Wed into the second division.
