New version for new season as Sheff Wed enter transfer embargo...
Old thread here...
Rest of the Championship thread by Hunterhoop 10 Aug 2024 11:07Toyed with this idea last season. Shall we have a thread to discuss, comment on, cover the rest of the league? A place to discuss other teams’ results, performances, financial implosions, etc?
For example, last night, anyone catch either of the first two games? I didn’t. But somewhat surprised/worried Blackburn scored 4 given how they are meant to struggle. Was it Derby being utter sh*te?
Sounds like Preston are continuing in the same vein of being incredibly dull.
Clive, what do you think? Worth making a sticky? Might reduce the number of threads to manage.

Just checked Middlesbrough's form ahead of Saturday. Won 6 out of 9 at home so far but all by only one goal. Not sure whether that makes me more confident or less! |  | | |

Need Stoke, Hull and Bristol to draw/lose tonight to keep us top 6 |
Stoke only need a draw. Let's enjoy it while it lasts, it'll only be for a few more hours!
We'll just have to win the next game. |  |

They're away to Ipswich though so wouldn't be a surprise if they did lose. |  | | |

True. But that puts Ipswich, currently one place above and level on points three points ahead. Of the six possible outcomes in tonight's relevant games four of them see us drop out of the top 6, and the two sides that need a win are both at home. | |

Sheffield United have won all four games since playing us, scoring 13 goals, conceding 2 and absolutely hammering Portsmouth and Stoke at home.
So maybe that 0-0 wasn't the insulting let-down and dereliction of duty I learnt of (only) here. And maybe that point could prove important, and when JS said it was good to keep the gap between us and Sheffield United maybe he meant not in the relegation spots, but something higher up.
Everything is still to play for this season. Top six will totally change by May, as will bottom three. Have to keep accumulating no matter how pretty or ugly. |
Well those damn Canaries held Sheffield United stopping their winning run.
The reason why people like me get annoyed about us is that we went to Sheffield United, Wednesday and Norwich, all in the bottom three at the time and failed to win. Contrast that with Bristol City who won 4-1 at Bramall Lane, 3-0 at Hillsborough and 1-0 at Carrow Road. And we damn well won at Bristol City! That is what frustrates me that when we face a lame duck we play like one. Having said that I accept that Brizzle played the Blades and Canaries when they had clueless managers so we were unfortunate to miss out on facing them.
But yes I would agree that Sheffield United will probably finish above us so the 0-0 at their place won't look so bad. |  | | |

I still wouldn't be betting on Sheff Utd finishing above us. They've gained a whopping one point on us over the last six games and there are 26 games left. | |

Leicester’s sole tactic seems to be to get the ball to Fatawu. Despite all their ex Premier League players he seems to be the only one with anything about him and I’m including Mavdidi in that. |  | | |

I am thinking Sheffield United will be one of the clubs throwing money at it in January to get into the top 6 which could have a bearing on where they finish. There are clubs in this league with greater spending power than us that could transform their season. | | | |

Fatawu's goal for Leicester is quite something. Of course they are looking good just as we are set to play them |  |

Every game feels like it carries within it great meaning, but beating Leicester would be a big win: level on points at KO, Martí's return, and a defeat would be two in a week going into the chaotic Xmas period, when the last thing you want is a patented QPR death spiral |  | | |

I guess you have to give anyone credit for trying it and being accurate but it’s horrendous goalkeeping. | | | |

Poor old Sheffield Wednesday are trying hard but can’t keep the ball. Derby weren’t much better but King Dave II scored a cracker. |  | | |
