Sheffield Wed and QPR have gone on a good run in recent weeks and in doing so have dragged a load of other teams into the relegation dogfight.
Cardiff have found some form at last. Five games without losing, four wins in a row. Saturday's 2-1 win against Ipswich was the best game I have seen in a long time.

A QPR sports writer composed a letter to Sky which gets across the point you are making here brilliantly. It is a QPR fan that wrote it but the content rings true for all Championship teams.

Wow just took a few minutes to read that that bloke knows how to write a letter
Yeah, I am clearly bias being a QPR fan but Clive Whittingham is a fantastic sports writer. I know a few people who read his match reports every week and they aren’t even QPR fans.

I will look a few up
Argyle sacked their manager last night, not before time, 3 months in charge, 1 win in 12, from mid table to going down I reckon. Seems like we aren't replacing him, the 'Director of Football' Dewsnip is taking the reins with Nancekevill his assistant. If I was the board and we had the money i'd have seen if Warnock fancied the last few games of the season, he lives in Looe anyway.
Dewsnip did ok when Schumacher left and before Foster was appointed so fingers crossed!
Foster took a team that scored for fun but conceded lots to a team that conceded lots and couldn't score.

Yep, you boys are having a stinker. Whoever comes in now has a job on their hands but I agree a change is probably what is needed. Warnock obvious choice. I listened to him in an interview on That Peter Crouch Podcast recently where he was quick to point out he hasn’t retired, he’s just out off a job at the moment!
We (QPR) seem to have turned it around. We were eight points adrift without a win in the last eight games when Marti arrived and have now lost just two of our last thirteen games picking up seven wins (D4).
By no means safe yet but at least we now have some daylight between us and the bottom three.
Yes you have turned it round, I like QPR so fair dues, hope to see you do well.
Big game for us on Friday (vs Rotherham).

Yes I agree how big is Friday now Away games have been hard this season for the green army often gone a goal up only to go on and lose Yes I also agree Warnock would be a good fit I think he goes to some of the home games if he's around
Warnock is a bit of a legend at Argyle, took us from near relegation out of the league to top half of league 1, (then division 3) before falling out with our slightly unhinged then chairman Dan Macauley.
Big game in Devon tonight @pilgrimhudd

Yes there all big games here on in the run in is well underway, not sure the QPR bounce is still going after the weekend
If we play anything other than fantastic we struggle.
This sums up our problem:
QPR have only scored more than two goals in a game on one occasion this season – at home to Stoke, who were down to ten men for most of the second half. The last six wins they have managed have all been 1-0 or 2-1. Victories have to be dragged by this team, kicking and screaming, over the line because they don’t have the goals in them to make it comfortable even when they’re playing well. When they’re not they don’t have the goalscorers to get them out of that hole – Lyndon Dykes, without a goal in 14 games, is our joint top goalscorer with five along with Chair.

Yep, sounds like a nervy game so far.

Argyle under Schumacher were almost entirely the opposite, very high scoring, although we let some in too! Our right winger has 20! Dewsnip said that they would try and get that style of play back as under Foster we became very defensive minded.
Look like two very poor sides
