The ChampionshipChat Podcast - Episode45

Back again to build up to another weekend of Championship action, Elliott Jackson (_elliottjackson) is joined by George Smith (_georgesmith99) and Tom Coates (Tom_C_6) on The ChampionshipChat Podcast.

In our Weekend Analysis, the lads look at Stoke City's decision to sack Nathan Jones? Could Tony Pulis return? The trio offer their selections for the Potters next new boss.

Elsewhere, Middlesbrough's fortunes are showing no sign of improving after yet another defeat. It's 12 points and only 11 goals for Jonathan Woodgate's side in 15 matches. How do you turn it around? 

Plus Swansea City's win at Wigan saw them briefly move top of the pile. We discuss, is the Championship taking them seriously as promotion contenders?

Our weekly quiz sees George and Tom go head to head in another dramatic showdown which is settled with a tie-breaker, with Elliott on hosting duties this week.

In our Big-Match Previews the trio look at Nottingham Forest, Barnsley vs Stoke City and Hull City vs West Brom.
