The Championship Thread 2023/2024

[Corky]

Yer Da rages about playing out from the back but is fine with that goal being conceded 

[EastAnglianFox]

Was hoping Blackburn wouldn't need anything on the final day 

[STEVIE B]

Mmmmm….was hoping Blackburn would have their flip-flops on by the time we play them.

Seems that may not be the case.

Hopefully, it’s all sorted out before we play ‘em.

Hopefully they beat Cov next week, Huddersfield and Birmingham play each other, a draw in that and either can catch Blackburn on the last day if they beat Cov!

[Ric Flair]

Preferably Huddersfield win next week so they can still stay up with a win away at Ipswich on the final day.

[Cincinnati Fox]

Shef wed cruising… we be getting pummelled with a lead going into the last few minutes!

 

but apparently our style is to control games 🤷‍♂️

And would be nice to finally see Birmingham go, especially with these cocky new owners.

We go up or not, I don’t think Enzo is the answer.

i think the general style is right but I don’t think he actually understands the style / can evolve. 
 

[CheeseHead]

Hilarious by the Blackburn keeper for that 3rd goal!

I think he's doing the best he can with a bunch of freaks who don't actually care/have enough footballing ability. I don't think there's any scenario where someone like Farke or McKenna would have walked the league with these players. About two-thirds of them aren't good enough, don't care or don't want to be here - it's not enough.

Control games but not necessarily score and win. 

[happy85]

Sheffield Wednesday winning means QPR not safe so should be well up for it against leeds

Ridiculous. 

[Fox92]

Huddersfield v Birmingham game is big next week.

[StanSP]

Typical Blackburn beat Leeds and then screw up at home. 

 

Typical of what this division can throw up actually. 

[Fox in the North]

Losing 3-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday with relegation on the line….

To be fair, despite the number of chances WBA had, after they did score, I thought there’d be an onslaught and we’d cave but they didn’t even threaten after that. So I’d say we saw the game out very comfortably despite what had happened earlier.

Regular third tier side. Always have been. And Sheffield Wednesday.

Could swear DJ Campbell was offside a dozen times that day.

We went 1-0 up in that game, and I remember thinking we can do this! A win would have kept us up. The rest is history..

Blackburn needing something might suit us. They'll need to come forward

Oh god, the crowd was amazing too at that point. And then little by little, Wednesday worked their way back into it, equalising and then taking the lead. The horrifying realisation and the silence from the crowd was one of the worst things I can remember from that game.
