Had the discussion with the fam the other day that I suspect I have every year about how bunched up the Championship is between 14th and 6th. Someone suggested it happens every year, so I looked it up. And they were broadly right: over the last 5-6 years it’s been roughly between 3-5 points between 14th and 6th places in early Feb. What’s interesting is that four weeks later the picture tends to change. So by the second week in March the gap is much more like 7-11 points.
This is from memory so actual numbers might not be totally right but it does suggest that this is the time of year where people make the decisive move, like the final bend in the 10,000m race. Will be interesting to see if that happens this year too. |  | | |  |

I wonder why? January transfer window? Stronger squads able to absorb injuries? |  | | |

Yes, both good points could be that. Also maybe players coming back from injury (if only..)? Or just going that extra mile cos they can see the finishing line? | | | |

I definitely think now we are in a period that favours the clubs with more squad resources. Can see Wrexham, Southampton, Birmingham and Sheff U enjoying the next couple of months way more than the likes of Bristol City, Preston, Watford and indeed ourselves. In fact, I would argue that thinking about this, perhaps Julien is winning me round to the idea of those ground out away draws if we can win home games like today |  |
