Coca Cola Championship Results Roundup - Jan 16
Posted by football writer on January 17, 2010 - Championship
Alan Irvine and Darren Ferguson had contrasting starts as new managers in the Coca Cola Championship. Irvine got off to a winning start as his Sheffield Wednesday side defeated Barnsley 2-1. Tommy Spurr and Jermaine Johnson came up with the goods for the Owls.
Darren Ferguson’s first game in charge though ended in a disappointing 4-2 loss for PNE against Bristol City. Haynes, Fontaine, Carey and Sno scored for Bristol and left Ferguson still looking for his first points as PNE boss.
Nottingham Forest moved up into the automatic qualification spots with a 2-1 win against Reading. Paul Anderson and Robert Earnshaw scored for Forest in a game that saw Nicky Shorey sent off against his former club. Crystal Palace’s in-demand forward Victor Moses was the hero as his first half strike proved to be the winner against Plymouth. Derby overcame Peterborough 3-0 at London Road. The Posh ended the game with nine men on the pitch. Gorka Pintado’s first goal for over ten months gave Swansea City a much needed win over playoff rivals and moved them to the fourth position in the League.
There were also a couple of draws in the League with QPR coming from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Blackpool. The game between Scunthorpe and Cardiff also ended in a timid 1-1 stalemate.
