During the night I was woken by the windows rattling and the bed shaking. Having experienced one in New Zealand, I assumed it was a minor earthquake, as indeed it was, and went back to sleep.
The difficulty of reading results off the table in this division was demonstrated by Preston's 2-0 victory over Stoke. Mighty Stoke remain top, but Burnley's 2-0 victory over Coventry brings them to within striking distance of the play offs and us. It has long been Burnley's ambition to get into the Premiership for one year. Their chairman reckons that even if they come straight down again, the financial gains would set them up for ten years.
A strong Charlton reserve side beat Southampton 3-1 last night to go back top of the Ponting's Holiday Combination, giving them a good chance of the reserve title, recalling the days when Keith Peacock used to win it for us.
Attention now focuses on the youth cup quarter final against Sunderland at The Valley tonight. Many of the younger players who would normally play in the reserves were rested last night.
