Championship 2025/26 Season

[Number 6]

Think I'd be a bit worried as an Ipswich fan. Birmingham look pretty average but have been comfortably the better side. This is only one game of course.

When they bringing Sheeran on?

 

His legs don’t work like they used to before

This Ipswich keeper is absolutely honking.

That goal came from bottling the short pass to the DM. Not the first time either

[jayfox26]

Ipswich are shite and I really hope their shite, time wasting, slowing the game down tactics screws them this season. They were wasting time in the first 5 mins of the game and have offered nothing all game and fully deserve to be losing. Absolutely rank!

They can't. He's drunk again

 

And he's not part of the A team

Depends if Brum can keep the tempo up for 90 minutes every game

[jonny_wright]

As poor as a PL signing he was, I’d expect Skipp & Soumare to dominate midfields in the championship

That would be a penalty with VAR

I can't help but think you're all exaggerating. I think Birmingham, for a newly promoted side, have been impressive. I get they're not a normal newly promoted side. 

 

They're supposed to be title contenders though. 

 

Ipswich clearly look devoid of confidence/Team spirit and Birmingham haven't showed any real quality at all.

 

Ipswich have still created 2 or 3 glorious chances, whilst looking dreadful

I don't think its a easy as people think for McKenna at Ipswich, having to lift this squad after being battered all PL season.

[PAULCFC]

That was on a par with our corners!

 

[AjcW]

Chip off the old block isn’t he! Sit back and soak up a tonne of pressure after scoring  

[Lionator]

Ipswich more likely to do a Luton than go straight back up based on this. 

[Leicesterpool]

McKenna was once considered candidate for both the England job and the Chelsea job only 12 months ago 😆

This is more like a cage fight than a football match. I’ve seen zero tekkers what so ever - looking forward to Sunday ! 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Ipswich deflected shot goal incoming.

we’re about to see how good of a manager he is then  I guess!

[PAULCFC]

Tom Brady's a winner.....i can see Brum being in the mix come May!

Enter Leicester City with Bilal, Fatawu and Mavididi.

Wondered how much appetite they would have, and I am not convinced much so far.

[ealingfox]

Have to remember the referees were helping Ipswich last time - they might have other darlings now.

 

Still certain there's a deflected shot coming though

There's also only 2 starters tonight that were regulars in the Championship. They're not the same spirited side as they were 2 years ago.

He was involved when they went down.
