The Championship Thread 2023/2024

[Md9]

1-1😂😂

[JimJams]

Fxxking hell, defences are shite aren't they at this level.

[Number 6]

Leeds really need to avoid the playoffs. They could smash it, and are in the top 3 sides in the division imo, but they're really volatile and I wouldn't be confident they'd get through the playoffs.

[Leeds Fox]

Leeds games chaos. Must’ve been 1-1 within 10 mins at least 3 or 4 times this season.

[Leeds Fox]

The energy from both sides here in the first 15 mins is unreal. I hate that they say it, but teams really do step it up against Leeds. Probably because they know they’re fragile (not because it’s Leeds Utd as their fans like to think). 

[Paninistickers]

Been impressed with Preston these opening 20

 

Edit; seem to be playing two strikers too. How refreshing!

This is Preston - they should be stepping it up for this game regardless… like they did last time 😗

Bamford seems to have played his way back into being first choice for Leeds. Just shows the difference in levels between the PL and the Championship, Bamford was ridiculed in the PL and Piroe was praised in the Championship yet Bamford has ended up on top. 

I never write players off..

Leeds fail this season Piroe & Bamford,get a move to PL

to other teams, that manager rekindles their top flight career…

Thats what they all hope for and what makes the jingle jangle

of a footballers life..

Plus I doubt there is one fan that wouldn’t mind just being,

a championship,division 1, or 2, player….That’s why the word fail

or not upto it, ridiculed are well out of sync,when rating individuals careers.

 

There is an harder world,where keyboard warriors ( nothing in your direction)

are often fighting a losing battle..

[RowlattsFox]

There's an argument that Leeds winning isn't the worst thing as it keeps Southampton and Ipswich looking over their shoulder rather than looking upwards. 

[LinekersLugs]

Southampton touched 20/1 at one stage I has £150 eachway on them 

 

now they are our only threat I can say to everyone  to relax my luck is so bad There is no way this bet coming in 😂😂

Bamford really is a dire striker

Southampton nor Ipswich season will not  be defined by Leeds results…

Their own strengths or their own lack of them,will define their own

next few seasons history..Like us they have an hidden strength of confidence,

but they too know who blinks too often,will lose their bragging rights…

I can see these 3 teams hitting low 100s pts,even Leeds on 97-101pts and not

get over the line…

The biggest tragedy & travesty would be Leeds 101pts,losing in Play off to

Hull or Coventry on 82-86pts..

All anti Leeds sentiment aside, Summerville is a fantastic footballer.

Was just thinking, he looks a sure thing at the next level.  Which he's obviously ready for.

 

He's under contract until 2026 but if they don't go up, can they keep him?

Scored the goal of the season a couple of weeks ago though.

Vincent Kompany has won goal of the season… don’t have to be a good striker to score the best goal of the year

At the risk of being That Guy, it's 12 degrees in Leeds today and Patrick Bamford was born and raised in this climate, the fvck is he wearing gloves for? 

[Number 6]

Leeds will have to push to win this, might leave them vulnerable to a counter. Set up well for the last 20.

A second division reserve goalkeeper in Scotland literally scored a better goal off the bench the week before. 

 

Freak wonder goals are one thing. Scoring consistently every week is another.

I imagine he'll go to a top half / Europa League club if Leeds don't go up. 

 

He's not just a bit too good for the Championship he's far, far too good.
