The Championship Thread 2023/2024

[LCFC-92]

Funny how quick it can go from HMS Enzo to 'no one remembers who came first and second, let's just get promotion'.

 

How long until we settle for the play offs?

Sixth is actually a very respectable position. We shouldn't turn our noses up at it.

Would be nice if hull put up a decent performance tonight and could grab a point at least

This is an interesting read. 

I assume that Prem club will be either Forest or Everton

 

 

The Ev. Liquid cash issues, everyone else can probably get the money together

They should get Rodgers for a few years once he gets the boot from Celtic.

 

That would explain why a new Sunderland Til I Die series is in the works

There are certainly one or two touchy members on Waccoe. I've been a passive 'member' for about eight years because I sometimes like to see what fans of other clubs think, but have only posted about four times in total (each of which was very respectful). A few days before the game at the KP in November I was monitoring a pre-match thread but hadn't posted anything and was a bit surprised when another member noticed my username at the top of the thread, clicked on my profile, figured out that I support Leicester and had a rant at me for even being on the site. I mean, I can kind of understand it when folks get irritated by an opposition fan on the wind-up, but to lose your shit over somebody silently observing a thread takes some doing....

Yep, it's always been that way.  It's a product of that period of any "away" fans being banned if rumbled.  Makes it a pretty parochial place.  How dare you stray to this part of the Internet?

 

There's a Forest fan that has been there since near enough day dot.  He's always had a free pass.  Nobody knows why

We should be the first club to understand how you easily you can squander a big points gap. 

 

Lose at Leeds and the gap could be down to 5 points to 2nd and 6 to 3rd and 4th.  That is by all accounts game on. (if results go against us tonight) 

 

Weve been excellent and rightly have been celebrating that but this has been a freak league and there are 4 teams that fall in the top 10 of points scored at this stage in the last 10 years. 

 

Theres genuinely no more room for a wobble, as the other teams may not drop many points.

More playing around with outlooks:

 

If we lose to both Leeds and Southampton, have 3 draws and then win the other 8, we finish on 105. 

If Leeds win all their games, draw with Southampton and draw 1 other game

If Southampton win all their games and draw with Ipswich and Leeds

If Ipswich win all their games, with 2 draws including vs Southampton:

 

The remaining form and final table looks like this

 

 

We've dropped points in 8 games out of 33. 

Even if we drop points in 5 games out of 13, we're giving the others a mountain to climb.

A new season of something I watched every episode of -- and it's not all over our Netflix splash screen 

 

They are sleeping on the job.

 

Or my wife has binged too many chick shows and they figured the football show was just somebody using her login.

“ it won’t happen to us”

famous last words from last season.

 

Enzo is public is keepin pretty relaxed but he must be having some sleepless nites worrying about this lot and where their heads go in these games.

 

Leeds are 100% predictable we know what is coming for us. Can Enzo prepare the players well? The Match under rogers where we pulled them apart under rogers is the blue print. Say no more.

The fact that he was liking posts which were slagging off his club's support *whilst still in post* , is probably going to make getting another job a bit difficult.

Another big night of Championship football coming up.

 

And ESPN are streaming none of it in the states. 

 

Showing Blackpool v Peterborough instead.  Who makes these decisions?

Honestly, some people on here you could say "Leicester play in blue" and they'd find a way to correct you

 

I admire your restraint on here, you often make very fair points and don't come across antagonistic at all, yet we've got a clutch of people here desperate to be offended and argumentative because you're not a Leicester fan  

 

Well technically, in some away games, we don’t play in blue

Worth adding that will be him waiving goodbye to any severance, easily grounds for gross misconduct. Might even have Rangers raising a lawsuit against him.

Guys since doing a prediction solely based on last 6 PPG, some find controversial, I have done a new prediction that takes into account seasonal PPG alongside last 6 PPG, so both seasonal form and recent form are taken into account.

 

Here is the prediction.

 

Table that accounts for both season PPG and last 6 PPG, incorporating both into prediction.

 

Leicester predicted points 108
Leeds predicted points 102
Southampton predicted points 99
Ipswich predicted points 93

The Football League. So I'm guessing they want to showcase a semi-final over some re-arranged games.

We’re all Hull City tigers tonight. Grrrr.

[Sunbury Fox]

Saints now have 4 home games out of 5 with the away game being at Brum.

 

Leeds play 4 of the bottom 6 consecutively after the game against us.

 

Ipswich now have 7 games where the highest placed team they play is Bristol City, who are 12th.
