The very worst Championship in living memory.

[DronnieBlade]

And we are 3rd bottom. A fuckin travesty.

The standard of football this year is really quite poor considering the Championship is “supposed” to be the 5th or 6th “best” league in Europe.

I have my thoughts as to why this is so but we need to start to take advantage of this, and soon.

I would say overal the Championship is far better than it was last season , there is a greater number of " Play off contenders"

What there isnt is 2 or 3 teams who will get 90+ points

Because the league is so competitive i can see us making a push for the play offs if we get our house in order a big If

Would agree that the Championship's average quality has increased. For once, bar Cov, it's looking like anyone can beat anyone and the league is actually "the most unpredictable in the world".

 

[Davalon]

Looking at the current scorelines I'd say the most pressing concern is not getting cut adrift at the bottom

I think the fact it's so shit actually gives us hope.

That's the fckg worry mate!

 

[David Wheatley]

Agree with this particularly if we do happen to lose tomorrow which is a distinct possibility.

We will be soon left hoping that we can get more points than Norwich, Oxford and Wendy as the others will be 7 points plus ahead of us

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Middle of the league has improved, top end of the league has deteriorated

 

[AdamSufc1997]

We're a shit team and we're in bottom 3 for a reason

 

[Champagneblade]

All we can do is concentrate on the next game.

I know it’s the hope that kills you but you can see those 5th and 6th spots looking temptingly achievable for a team that can get their act together.

January will be interesting if we can improve a little until then.

It puts a lot on his shoulders but I’d love it if Arblaster returning really made the team tick. If we can have Hamer, Arblaster, O’Hare and even Davies for then we’re going to create. But we’ll need either Bamford or another striker to come in and make the team work.

I know it’s a bit Dad’s army but would like to see what Bamford and Ings could do together.

It's getting very worrying now.
Lose tomorrow and there's a 7 point gap between us and fifth bottom. Win and we are STILL in bottom three.

I won't know score till after 2pm as I'll be in the air over the Atlantic. Thanks Ryanair for cancelling my flight on Saturday. Cunts.

 

[Gin&Juice]

The worst Championship since the one 21 years ago where Sunderland won the league with an alcoholic Kevin Kyle and a 48 year old Marcus Stewart. Think we limped to 8th and there were calls for Warnock to fuck off. We decided to invest in the summer and got promoted.

I'm assuming you mean 5th or 6th bottom being achievable?

We have absolutely no chance of the playoffs. Stunned people still think it's possible!

65 points from 31 games required to get to 76 points, which almost always guarantees a top 6 finish.

That's the equivalent of a 96 point season

I just, I can't believe I still bother biting I think it shows there's something wrong with me. Obviously the answers to the points above are clearly f***ing no and clearly f***ing no.

But your sheer, remarkable ability to not only take the exact opposite viewpoint of what's obvious and true but to always come up with a point so unbelievably contrary and petty that nobody else could conceivably come up with it, leads me to one question. Is that you Jayne? Are you my Northern Irish Mother in law?

 

[Houston_Blade]

Win tomorrow and we’re 1 point from safety despite an abysmal start, lose tomorrow and we affirm our status as being an absolutely terrible team with no bottle or spine and deserve to be in the bottom 3.

Agree in that it is crazy in terms of being competitive. What hurts is that we should have an advantage and we’ve tossed it. The championship is a great league really. I saw a bit of Blackburn v Preston and Blackburn looked really good against a top six team, but the table would say otherwise, but they are a couple of wins off the play offs. And they looked toss against us.

 

[JayGreen17]

Don’t care about that lot we just need the bloody points tomorrow!

Completely agree, said it a few times, it's as poorer championship as there has been for years. I have mates who support other clubs who say the same. Coventry should win it and they are going well, fair play to them, but they are no better than they were last year, the difference is the quality above them is not there this year. Some of the sides who are in/about the top 6 are bang average at best. Shows how poor we have been overall.

I think it would have been much harder this year compared to last


Derby have BBD & Carlton Morris up top

Norwich spent £10/£20 mill and appointed a good manager and are in our position


The leagues far more Competitive than last year


However that may mean a 65/70 points gets you the playoffs

Are you ok ?


Does people having different opinion on the internet work you up that much ?

They indeed could
