Charlton are bottom of the form table but remain 17th in the real table. Only one team below us won yesterday: Barnsley secured a 5-3 win over next week's opponents, the Super Hoops.
Shell shocked QPR manager Mark Warburton said: 'We've let ourselves down, it's as simple as that. We've had a few heated words in the dressing room. It could have been seven-all. We can't give away soft goals and expect to win.' Of course, this will fire them up to redeem themselves next Saturday.
Reading, now managed by former Addick Mark Bowen, ground out a 0-0 draw at Stoke. Karlan Grant scored an equaliser for Huddersfield at Wigan, admittedly a very good goal. Boro lost 3-1 at Abertawe. Luton lost 2-1 at Preston.
Of course, if we had preserved our lead on Friday we would have overtaken Derby who were ram raided 0-1 at home by a team from New Cross.
We can't rely on the results of other teams, but it's helpful when they go our way. The Football League Paper said today that Charlton are 'low on confidence'. There is a spread on Darren Pratley on the back page, but it seems to be recycled from the SLP.
Many are pinning their homes on the January transfer window, but it can be difficult to get value there. However, to stay up we just need three teams to perform less well than us.
BTW, someone was asking the other day how many staff the EFL have. Not easy to find, but Kieran Maguire of the PriceofFootball tells me it is a total of 75. Not a lot given their responsibilities.
