The Championship Thread 2023/2024

I know we blew a big lead but at least we had the points in the bank. Any one below us goes on a bad run now could potentially end their season in the play offs and miss out completely

Nothing to play for other than play offs would have thought no point getting injuries 

They've got a relentless fixture list due to previous postponements and now are pretty much nailed for playoffs only, so think there's a decent chance they rotate a lot in the run in, which means against us too.

The officiating for the Ipswich game was absolutely laughable again

Tell you what though, the ref made a great call with Sargent cheated and tried to buy a foul by stopping and forcing contact, just wish the ref had the balls to give him a yellow.

Hopefully we’re heading into another “doesn’t count for reasons” phase of the season for Leeds.

See I disagree there, Sargent has come across to get himself between man and ball, and had his leg caught

Not sure it's even happened this season? Ipswich and Leeds losing and us winning?

You're right first time this season

Pub breath will be along in a minute. Or probably not as they lost.

Blimey, I haven't monitored poor @Tuna posts myself, but I suppose even a broken clock....

Be amazing if we’ve timed a winning run between now and the end of the season whilst Leeds and/or Ipswich have a poor run 

That's the hope. I tried to reassure myself of this after the Bristol / QPR / Middlesbrough debacles

 

Logic suggested we couldn't continue that badly and they both couldn't continue that well 

 

Amazed they each only have five games left..a nice three game blip and they are hopefully royally fcked

[Beachyboy]

Looking at the last 5 games we now have 10 points, Leeds have 10 and Ipswich 9, so things can quickly change both directions 

[Spudulike]

Not before we play them, please...

Sargent was well ahead and looked over his shoulder, he knew exactly what he was doing. The mad thing is, he could have just carried on and slotted the ball in the net.

 

You don't slow down and left your leg backwards in an attempt to shield the ball, especially when we're through on goal.

PUSB!

and same with ours tbf; they cant moan tho, thought they was lucky Tuanzebe wasnt sent off, and Morsy has some divine spell where he'll never get sent off, tho hes 2 yellows from another suspension 

 

we should have had least 2 pens today, 

[CheeseHead]

I bet Farke wasn't doing that celebration thing he does with the Leeds fans at the end of their game today

If Coventry can beat Ipswich, from our point of view it gives us a great chance and from their point of view if they make the play offs they go there having beaten the best 3 teams in the league.

Vardy made a career out of that, but sure he could of just gone through on goal

The best bit is, they have to help us out another two times if their season is going to amount to anything
