Whatever you think of Scott Parker (and I know he is pretty unpopular amongst Fulham and Bournemouth fans despite guiding both clubs to promotion) – he is a cheat code in the Championship (when he has a promotion grade wage budget)
What I had missed was just how long Burnley have gone without a defeat – 31 Championship matches without losing is an incredible achievement and puts them head and shoulders above all other teams in the league.
Matches without Defeat
Burnley (31), Gillingham (10), Birmingham (9), Doncaster (9), Leeds (8), Wrexham (8), Arsenal (7)
Walsall have not been able to buy a win in League 2. They are now 12 without a win and have drawn 7 of their last 10 games. A run of 9 consecutive wins in Dec-Jan looked to have all but assured them of promotion, but they have gone full on Devon Loch in the run in. They still have a chance to claim an automatic promotion spot, but will need to break this winless streak against Accrington.
Matches without a Win
Shrewsbury (15), Walsall (12), Leicester (10), Southampton (9), Bristol Rovers (8), Newport (7)
Not many people do the Football Pools anymore (but it is still going), you may want to avoid the following teams on your coupon
Matches without a Draw
Newcastle (19), Huddersfield (15), Fulham (13), Bolton (11), Millwall (11)
