    New Year, New Form - Championship Review

    Chris is joined by Tom to discuss all the latest action in this week’s round of Championship fixtures. The relegation fight heats up as Portsmouth send West Bromwich Albion home with nothing and dangerously closer to the drop. Could a potential points deduction see Leicester City become the second Premier League winning team to drop to League One or will Blackburn Rovers achieve that feat for a second time. Coventry City lose at QPR which sees them now level on points with Middlesbrough, finally surrendering their points advantage with Hull City’s form leaving the pair looking over their shoulders. 0:56 Portsmouth pile onto West Brom’s misery 9:20 Swansea finally win away from home in 2026 17:26 Derby County in dream land 27:08 Southampton pick up form 34:40 Leicester City’s woeful day 43:20 Are Coventry City bottling it?
