The Championship Thread 2023/2024

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

At least Ipswich didn't win. Still in our hands. I know, I know..... 😂

[OntarioFox]

Big congratulations to Ipswich for winning the 'score a goal' challenge 

[StanSP]

Once again the top 3 fail to win. All sides feeling the pressure. 

 

I should be happy, but it just makes me more annoyed we didn't take the chance to get closer to winning the title again. 6 pts against Millwall and Plymouth while Leeds and Ipswich falter would have taken a lot of pressure off against better sides to come...

I am confident we will win automatic promotion after today's results. Leeds and Ipswich are bottlers and should we slip up again, they will crumble under pressure and fail to take advantage.

We, on the other hand........

[Number 6]

Very happy with that after yesterday. Position very strong but we won't keep being gifted lives.

In fairness, those "better sides" are less likely to defend with 78 players in their own six yard box. Southampton in particular aren't exactly going to sit back and try to spoil. 

 

I'd much rather we play teams like that. 

 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Only Norwich or Hull will get 6th now, rest too far behind surely?

 

We need to get something when we play Saints, even if it's just a draw, can't let them beat us.

[kingston_fox]

It's the hope that kills you...

We're the one who threw away a double digit lead. So we are luckier in that it's still in our hands.

[Md9]

Perfect scenario now would be us just scraping first Southampton beating Leeds last game and beat the to second then ipswich and leeds both lose in the semi final of play offs

I genuinely admire your optimism, but I also can’t believe you are genuinely a Leicester fan!

[Md9]

Win against West Brom draw with Southampton beat Preston draw with Blackburn i think we will do 

[AjcW]

Next weekend will be interesting. Leeds not playing until Monday and Ipswich not playing at all!

Well, we ****ed up yesterday and Leeds and Ipswich failed to take advantage. They deffo will drop more points in the run in.

[brucey]

Who will manage to out-bottle all the other bottlers? 

(probably us)

And they are lucky we threw the lead away. 

[Chelmofox]

Borough had 2 great opportunities to win that. Ipswich playing down the clock at the end and the fans leaving early.

 

Its not just us feeling it, but i can't help but feel that Ipswich aren't getting the luck they once had.

 

Enzo has a week with the team to get this sorted. WBA had a poor result themselves. 

 

Can't believe we are still bang in this. Crazy season where all the 'other' teams decided to turn up for the last 8 or so games.

[Mickyblueeyes]

Us v Saints is going to be huge. I think the three of us have let them right back in. It’s like last season, 2/3 wins achieves the aim but at this moment feels such a huge mountain to climb 

[Cincinnati Fox]

If we don’t get 4 points minimum in the next 2 homes games, we don’t go up.

and frankly we don't deserve too.

Yep. I'm actually more optimistic about the next two games against WBA and Southampton than I am about the last two against Preston and Blackburn.

Win one of those and draw the other we are virtually home and hosed

 

Frustrating

[FrankieADZ]

that Leeds Southampton game on the last day could be very very interesting indeed
