The Championship Thread 2023/2024

[Langston]

Bored of them now, not taking part in the faux wanking each other off contest “hope you come up, great club” - past caring who comes up with us now

[StanSP]

They were 7/2 to score the 5th goal as well. Printing money

You know Ipswich are going to score and they do, moments after missing a penalty. Great mentality. 

Exactly that.

 

Mentality between us and them is chalk and cheese, hence why we have a squad that Peter Taylor could win the league with attempting to throw it away and they have a squad that could have been in a relegation battle that will go up.

Ha. But they are not lucky. 

Once or twice is lucky, not a seasons worth

[Sly]

Just a casual 8 minutes added time.

Fairplay to them they are absolutely relentless

What they’re achieving this year is nothing short of remarkable…

[beepee1984]

Watching the last 15 minutes of the Ipswich match and they have the "never quit" spirit we usually see (but currently missing?) in our team

That’s not luck. It’s desire and aggression.  Everything we’re lacking at the moment.

It’s not luck if they keep doing it. Took points off us in both games doing the same. Done to others too. If they go up as champions they’d deserve it. Lost fewer than anyone else. 

[Blanchflower78]

They play quick possession football but happy to mix up styles and formations. What McKenna is doing on a shoestring with largely a League 1 squad is far more impressive that Enzo with the riches he has enjoyed in comparison.

OG surely must be Ipswich's top scorer this season, never seen a team so lucky 

[Foxin_Mad]

There is no way on earth Ipswich don't finish above us, no way. Different class in all honesty. 

[Langston]

@The Bear this is why I celebrated Ipswich conceding the other week when you said them winning would benefit us, FYI!

There we go mate

I mean, we tried our best to **** it up. 

[coolhandfox]

Look fitter than us.

[fazzyfox]

We’re a game closer to the end of the season, our situation has improved. I don’t like the look of the momentum others are gaining / maintaining but we can only affect that if and when we play them

Massive contrast between us and Ipswich.
They’re all out attacking, crowd all on board with. We’re passing round in circles and the crowd are bored stiff.

They did go through a patch of 1 win in 9… sure back on track but it happened. They are so jammy too

Haha. We haven't regularly had deflections throughout the season, we've had 2 or 3, and the reason you get deflections that go in is by shooting towards goal. Whether they go in cleanly or deflected doesn't matter - if you keep shooting it isn't just luck.

I could also tell you loads of occasions where we've lost points due to being unlucky. You don't watch our games so you will have missed those.

We're into March now, only 3 points behind you, and have only lost 4 games all season. That's an extraordinary amount of luck!

2 or 3!! You are joking I hope. Not saying you don't deserve to be where you are as you have been outstanding all season (just not as outstanding as us which is why we are top and 3 points plus mega goal difference clear) There is no denying that you have had your fair share of lucky deflections

more bored by us to be honest 

[Gerard]

Switched it on after our game and Ipswich were 2-1 down and just about to take a free kick, I watched about 7 mins and in that time Ipswich scored twice and missed a penalty.

 

You have to hand it to them, they seem to do this every other week.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Ipswich wtf I swear they’re not even that good. Must just be fit.

Did you say this when they went ages without winning?

Every team look fitter than us 

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

One major difference is. Leicester crowd are full of people who think that we have a divine right to win every game so there is literally zero support. 

 

Ipswich fans can't believe they are near top and fighting for promotion to premier league so the crowd are fully behind them.

 

Our home form and games will be so important. Our crowd need to stop the cageyness and get behind them
