Oof that Sunderland scoreline is brutal. Don't take this league for granted, every game is a battle.

 

That said, I just saw a Southampton fan post on Reddit which read: "Everton should be tried for war crimes for sending us Mason Holgate on loan"

Probably be out the team for THB soon enough!

Rigg just turned 16 in June.

blimey Sunderland hammered Southampton, 

 

all that possession and did **** all with it.......

[mozartfox]

This is what happens when you send players of the caliber of Bertrand and Vesterbauer to Leicester.

Remember when Southampton were prime Barcelona and going to demolish the league?

Crazy what a side playing loads of short pointless passes can do to people’s minds.

Sunderland had just 32% possession. Just shows how pointless this statistic is.

needs to be separated into decisive possession or passive and active or progressive/regressive

What on earth was Martin doing not starting Alcaraz and Adams too? Surely two of their best players?

[Bilo]

Boro losing.

 

Carrick in bother?

if results dont improve after the international break, certainly could be on the way out

[Phube]

Remember when we were the worst team ever to play football in the league when we didn’t beat Rotherham 7-0 by half-time, look at what’s happening to the “best team in the league (TM)”:

 

 

[BKLFox]

Looks like it could be 1 of those w/ends with us, Norwich, Southampton, m’boro all losing and obviously the Southampton loss

[Ecdysiast]

scum beating chelsea scum

[moore_94]

Leeds drew 0-0 with probably the worst team in the league

[Beachyboy]

Makes for a great league, we are in the picture despite not fully clicking, others will feel the same. There will be about 10 teams that are still with a chance come January when the window reopens. I thought Norwich were supposed to batter Rotherham today. Any team can't beat any other on the day.

Classic Championship.

 

Welcome to it !

 

3-3 draw for us .

 

Ahead 3 times and scored a daft own goal but Coventry did miss a penalty.

 

Good to see our new striker score twice.

[FoxTimmy2]

Can't believe that Saints are still holding on to Bazunu? It took us 26 games and a relegation with Ward, but at least we finally did learn our lesson. Also goes to show that the GK position is the last position you'd want to neglect.

[Dan]

Tell you what I have reservations on us but I'm still delighted we didn't go for Martin. Utter fraud and that video of his dig at Swansea the other week was very off - given they gave him a job and he's done absolutely nothing in the game.

 

They are defensively absolutely woeful. Let in more in one game than we've let in in 7 in all comps.

Championship is fun

 

[Guest Sideshow Faes]

Somebody somewhere in this forum put up a post which contained a link to another club's fans site, with a page giving links to every championship team's fans forums. Would like to see that again as I like to have a look at what other teams are saying. Anybody got it?

That's just the Championship. It's rare that one, let alone more than one team pulls away and plays an incredible season. A little bit of consistency will keep you in the mix. There's always that one team (at least) who is stuck in the bottom half come January and then goes on a run to contend for playoffs.

It’s precisely what makes it a bad one.

 

All of these bizarre score lines are down to a complete lack of quality. I shudder every time I remember we’re in this dross league, it’s an absolute farmers league.

 

Yesterday was rancid, to go from a European semi final, to losing to Hull, vile stuff. I hope this is the only blip this season…… I’ve had to have several showers I feel filthy.

You have been in worse leagues and  situations.

 

I know you have had great success in recent  seasons but don’t turn into a Leeds type club who think anything but PL is beneath them ( at least you have won stuff to justify such thoughts though!)
