Championship 2025/26 Season

[teblin]

Next 6 we need to get these 4 wins if we can, but we haven't put form like that together really since maybe the 1st few games.

Projections:

 

 

Oxford unlikely to maintain 'Last 5 form' but looking good regardless. Quite close to call between us, Blackburn and Portsmouth. 

 

The Run In: 

 

 

And how we performed in reverse fixture of remaining games:

 

Hard to determine fixture difficulty at this stage of a season. Portmouth have top of the table 3 games out. Now that could be the worst fixture because they might need it to clinch a title or it could be easy because they’ve wrapped it up and are hungover. 
 

I remember our game against Brighton after promotion haha

I disagree. 

 

If we go down our owners will point to the deduction as some sort of injustice, institutional punishment for trying to be ambitious and break into the Big 6. 

Assuming the very funny thing happens, would anyone outside of KP's bubble take them seriously in a year when a member of that big six get relegated?

So Blackburn and Portsmouth don’t have Sheffield Wednesday to play.

 

Is that effectively a 3 point head start from now…

If anyone is going to lose to Sheffield Wednesday in the remaining games, it will be us.

100%! That game terrifies me

I’m absolutely dreading this game. I was kind of glad they at least got a point the other day just so that run of losses came to an end before we go there haha

4 more wins keeps us safe I think. With the right attitude and application, we get that done over the next 5 games, or very nearly done.

[LCFCJohn]

I’m seeing Sheffield Wednesdays fans are highlighting that this 15 point penalty for the creditor repayment nonsense is discretionary, yet the EFL are pushing to enforce it.

 

If so, the EFL (as we already know) are completely unfit for purpose and need investigating by the football regulator for basically trying to force clubs out of business.

 

It needs seriously highlighting and I’m pleased Wednesday fans are doing this. They have had enough punishment and Chansiri, who the EFL welcomed with open arms, does not deserve a penny. Absolutely disgrace.

Rowett said the players were out early for training today. Sign the attitude is improving, perhaps?

Who else was at the Sheffield Wednesday home game in 2008?

Nobody outside the bubble takes them seriously now.

 

Problem is the bubble includes a large section of supporters.

Yep

 

My Dad asked Barry Hayles if we were going to win

 

Baz said ‘hope so’

 

Dad said ‘hope so isn’t good enough’ and walked off 😂

When Hume scored it was the first time that I felt the stand actually wobble. Season tickets being chucked by the end.

Compare that to now. We had people in the family stand throwing their season tickets onto the pitch when we were heading towards the third tier for the first time in our history. We now have people saying "be careful what you wish for" to anyone who questions an ownership that may be leading us back there.

Got chatting with two Wednesday fans on Raw Dykes Lane. They said we would beat them and we'd avoid relegation. I said I didn't have their confidence.

[SemperEadem]

Living in Sheffield that game comes up a lot in conversation.

I remember Wednesday fans being absolutely unreal that day.

Another reminder that Wrexham are 6th. 
 

I think they are bloody awful and epitomise the drastic decline in quality across the second tier of English football.

It's a joke if a division.  Derby are what 7th? Quite clearly (over two games) amongst the worst team we've played in 14 years - let alone this season.  

 

Middlesbrough were garbage in both games. Swansea are upper mid table when they have relegation written all over them. Millwall just a bog standard 12th in the table Millwall but sit third. Ipswich a shadow of the team that went up with us. 

 

The only teams I felt even resembled being strong are Cov and, I think the best we played, was Norwich.

This commentary thing might be the worst thing Sky have ever done

It's just a bit of harmless fun really.

Cov have been lucky this season. They still come across as more of a strong play off team rather than outright winners in terms of their quality. I'd say they'd be the weakest winners since the league was rebranded, but of course they will have deserved it if they do it.. I'm not just being bitter 

[DAS Boot]

Were we sniffy about Callum Doyle?

[Leicesterpool]

I thought watching on main event would escape watching the two morons from hollywood sadly every five minutes the camera pans on them in the commentary box. Come on Swansea!

 

Imagine if the Swansea fans sang "Ryan Reynolds is in the Epstein files" would love him to respond to that lol.
