They should both be banned from getting promoted after serving that up.

Yet another awful game of championship football I’ve seen on tv this season. 

Classic Burnley and Leeds are average on the road too .

[StanSP]

Terrible watch. 

[spacemunky]

I had a really nice nap during that one.

Up there with the worst game I've ever seen. I will concede that there is a bit of a problem regarding the gap between the leagues. These two are certs to go down if they do go up.

This Leeds team are much worse than the one from last season yet they’re going to seemingly march to the title. We have to stay up because the three coming up will be dead certs to go back down.

Portsmouth's decision to play a weaken team at the weekend not paying off at the moment.

How are Portsmouth out the bottom 3? Every time I look at the championship they've lost. Derby have fallen down the table recently as well. 

 

Leeds v Burnley should be reported for crimes against football entertainment. Even the commentators on TalkSport were bored.

Majority of Portsmouth's wins come at home. 

 

I was surprised they lost to Millwall mid week. Prior to that their last home defeat was in October.

 

Same with Oxford really. They don't really win away, though have been picking up points under Rowett now, but most of their wins are at home.

John Eustace appears to be a very good coach. Did brilliantly at Birmingham and now got Blackburn flying.

[Bert]

Blackburn have just been awarded one of the most non penalties I’ve ever seen 

[Super_horns]

Just seemed to be an accident really .

 

No intent to head butt the Blackburn player .

Having lost his best player from last season too.

Ref in this game was awful

Missed a handball at the end ?

 

Paul Heckingbottom talking like a man who got sent off the other week.

 

Being very diplomatic!

I don't think they'd be ready for promotion. 

 

And it'd be sickening to be in Championship while they're in the PL if it did happen, even if they did do shit every game

Could you realistically see any of the teams being remotely competitive in the Prem? If both ourselves and a very well managed Ipswich side can’t do it, then none of the teams in this years championship will. The gulf is simply too large.

Probably Leeds if I'm being honest. Their squad might not be as good as last season, but they seem to be able to spend. Maybe Sheff Utd but yeah other than that I can't see many surviving.

They're going to be that late team that ends up finishing 6th..

 

Mind you, nobody seems to want it. West Brom hanging in there by 1 goal difference but Middlesbrough/Norwich/Bristol City/Sheffield Wednesday seem to inconsistent.

 

February will be interesting for Coventry as they've got Leeds, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday. 

[AjcW]

I think a pragmatic side could stay up. If Blackburn go up for example, I could see their style of football scraping 17th for them.

One of the big issues this season is 3 sides trying to play tippy tappy out from the back*
