The Championship Thread 2023/2024

[OnlyOneCity]

Before you start writing City off, do you realise that both Leeds and Ipswich have to go to Cov. Not guaranteed wins by any means. Cov going for for playoffs.

dunno how Johansson is getting calls for championship keeper of the season.....

Leeds v Southampton on the last day will be massive for the league and automatics. Could be for us as well!!

So we’re now relying on other teams despite having a 12 pt gap 4 weeks ago? Wake up and smell the coffee

Sorry but that phrase isn’t relevant. So many people on here are certain that Leeds and Ipswich are going to win all remaining matches. We gained a point on Ipswich today in a tough match. We don’t need to rely on other teams as such, just equal or better what they are doing. It’s been a long tough season, if we just crawl over the line then so be it. Promotion is the aim, no matter by how many points. Other matches are relevant and if you can’t see that then you have no logic.

[FrankieADZ]

suspect Leeds might go above us next week but it is what it is, theyve got some tough games coming too, so has everyone else around us; gonna be an interesting run in all told

[LVFox]

Final international break before one last push.

 

Guaranteed to at worst be level points top with a game in hand.

 

We'd have absolutely taken this at the start of the season. 

 

Keep the Faith!!!

Just not to lose 3 in a row at the business end of the season with the most expensive squad and budget the championship has ever seen

[Happy Fox]

Millwall will be a tough game away for Leeds ,  under Harris they have a siege mentality. 

[LVFox]

We need to be eyeing up 13 points from the next 5 games, Leeds and Ipswich have a difficult run and we could have a little gap following.

 

Could really do with Watford and Sunderland getting new managers in

you can have the most expensive squad in the universe but it wont mean shit if the officials are completely crap will it; imo we wouldnt have lose any of them if the correct decisions were given, but it is what it is

 

its football, these things happen

In that case a draw is possible for Millwall , there will be plenty of drama in that game.

Love the optimism but this is elite level political spin on a situation. 

[FrankieADZ]

also like to point out, Leeds and Ipswich have been playing crap the last few games too, so the over reaction on leeds etc from some on here needs to cool down a lil bit

 

[Hammo]

We put ourselves in a great position to ‘piss’ this league. Unfortunately we are now in a great position to ‘piss it away’.

 

Home form will be decisive, but unless Maresca modifies his strategy - or at least becomes more flexible and less predictable - then visitors to the KP will do what Boro and QPR did.

 

The blueprint has been set and opposition managers would be foolish not to copy it. Over to you, Enzo. Use the international break wisely and let’s see what you are made of…
