Championship
January Preview/Transfer Window
We enter January after a poor December, December was our worst month since August, however we do sit 1st with a 4 point lead over West Ham who have an 11 point lead over Norwich, this season is fast becoming a 2 horse race.
Ipswich Town FC (away)
January 3rd, 2015
First up in January we're off to Ipswich, we beat Ipswich 3-0 back in September, they are 15th and a huge 31 points behind us, they are fighting to stay out the relegation zone, with just 3 points separating then from it, should be a routine victory.
Barnsley FC (home)
January 6th, 2015
Just two days after Ipswich Town we welcome Barnsley who are almost certain of relegation, they are 23rd with only 12 points and are 15 points from safety, another 3 points should be taken.
Leyton Orient FC (home) FA CUP
January 10th, 2015
Our first FA Cup game of the season is against Leyton Orient at home, Orient are currently 2nd in League 1 with 49 points from 27 games and are just 1 point behind leaders Sheffield United, this could be a tricky game but i'm expecting to go through to the next round in the in cup.
Norwich City FC (away)
January 13th, 2015
Two days after our first FA Cup fixture we face a tough task against 3rd place Norwich City, a win would put more distance between us an the play-off spots but a lost would hand West Ham their 3rd chance to narrow the margin between us and them.
Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
January 17th, 2015
Our 2nd last fixture of January comes in the form of Brighton & Hove, another team dancing with the relegation zone, they will be hoping to put in a better performance than in our first encounter where we walked away with a 4-0 win.
West Ham (away)
January 24th, 2015
Our final game of the month is our toughest task of the season thus far, an away trip to West Ham, The Hammers are second and only 4 points behind us, this game is crucial for both teams.

Transfer Talk
We are currently cruising in the Championship and looking very likely to get promoted, we don't need any urgent strengthening but i would like another CB and another LM, Sam Baldock currently plays LM and he's been great for the club but at 25 and not looking like growing into a real superstar, he is someone we're looking at using in a swap deal.
