Prem prize up for grabs

Hands up who wants promotion to the Premier League? Anyone? What, not one of you?
Crazy as it seems that seems to be the case at the top of the Championship.
Before Christmas it seemed so straight forward. It was supposed to be two from three as Wolves, Blues and Reading dominated proceedings.
Wolves were scoring at will and were as strong defensively as they were the previous season. There were many who were waiting for the bubble to burst but Wolves just kept winning.
Blues were packed with players with Premier League experience and while they never looked as convincing as Wolves, they knew how to grind out the victories.
After a slowish start, the Royals began to rediscover their attacking flair and were moving ominously closer to Wolves and Blues.
Since Christmas and everything has changed. Wolves have won one game in ten, while Reading and Blues have failed to take advantage with just two wins each in the same period. It is relegation form and yet they are still in the top three.
Wanderers are struggling to keep a clean sheet while Blues have are struggling to get out of first gear, and Reading are treading water.
Preston's charge has slowed to a crawl, Burnley had faltered in league as their cup exploits distracted them but are now unbeaten in six, while Bristol City and Cardiff are mounting challenges of sorts.
But despite their attempts, I still feel the top two will come from Blues, Wolves and Reading come the end of the season, and I think that says it all about the Championship.
Albion lost 11 games last season and still won the league. That is nearly a quarter of the season.
No wonder the promoted sides struggle in the Premier League.
