The Championship Thread 2023/2024

Any result is a gain of sorts, so I'm going to observe with relaxed interest.

Cmon Ipswich!!..

Hard fought win, with 2 or 3 injuries and a knackering 90+ minutes!!

Farke doesn’t like rotating does he? Guess todays game is probably a poor example to pick but barely changes the team 

That'll be their downfall this season. Our squad is just ridiculous and pretty much any 11 is a cut above most teams first 11 in this division.

Their fans have been complaining about the lack of rotation in recent weeks. Although when you actually look at their squad they don’t have much depth 

[Dahnsouff]

Worst result? Leeds destroy Ipswich maybe? Love this relaxed interest rather than butt clenching terror, but wouldn’t miss that either.

Surely a boring nil-all at Elland Road with a couple of red cards each?!

 

Two teams go up automatically. If we get back to the Prem I don't really give a shit if it's first or second. Look at Ipswich and Plymouth this year. 

 

Having a team stay with us for most of the year is probably good for us and character building for the squad. I'd rather that team be Ipswich than have dirty Leeds catch up. Plus they could be 16 points below us at the end of the day and that's almost certainly too much for them to recover unless we show relegation form. 

 

We've got quickfire games against Ipswich also to make our own gap there and I think we're much better equipped to beat them than Leeds. 

 

I mean a draw is fine. Leeds winning is fine. We're fine any which way. But I'd rather an Ipswich win.

Anyone know if Ipswich have rotated many? If I were their manager I’d rather get a result today than Boxing Day so just interested.

[KingsX]

Surprised I'm finding myself pulling so hard for Ipswich, when I know a draw (2 points rather than 3) would be the optimal result.

[Nalis]

1 nil Leeds

[Aus Fox]

Leeds strike first

[Tuna]

It seems conceding early goal really is Ipswich's achilles heel

[Noahfence]

Ipswich concede loads early on 

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

I've said it before and I'm not just saying this as Leeds have gone ahead but I really don't think Ipswich are as good as people make out.  We beat them comfortably.

Same, plenty of time for Ipswich to come back into it

[Chrysalis]

Damn, all Leeds at the moment and taken the lead.  They so dominant in their games right now.

 

Ipswich are the comeback kings though.

Can't do it on a cold Tuesday night at Stoke though!

Ipswich are gonna be knackered on Boxing Day.

Still think I want Leeds to win this. Ipswich 6 points (hopefully!) off the top and been done twice by Leeds and they might start to wobble.

 

Bring me the 8th title.

Correct. Not sure why people would rather Ipswich keep pushing us rather than building more of a gap to second given third will almost certainly stay the same 

[Dahnsouff]

Come on Ipswich, don’t fold

[whoareyaaa]

Don't think its a bad thing Leeds winning we can push away from both if we win today and then beat Ipswich

What???

 

Gap to third is crucial. Make it as big as possible.

 

First and second carry the same reward.

 

A Leeds win is the last thing we want.

Because promotion is the most important thing, so the gap to third is most important.
