Championship Thread 25/26 Season

[mmmmsnouts]

Would be interested to see how clubs who come up to the PL through the playoffs fare. Sunderland have done fantastically well but surely they are a major exception. Letting someone even lower in the table have a shot seems like a recipe for disaster.

Just watched the highlights of the Leicester game and was suprised how many empty seats there were

Guess the fans deserted the club because they aren’t doing well now

 

[gonetomorrow]

WBA hanging in there.
They were extremely fortunate to do so.

 

[Billy Dean]

Great result for Saints. Set themselves up for a go at the playoff places

 

[Nymzee]

This play-off expansion is going to backfire massively. There's already, normally, a very large quality gap between promoted Champ teams and the PL and now someone finishing 8th might fluke a play-off and go up.

Crazy & wrong imo.
Just feeding the TV companies again - sigh.

erm how does that work compared to 4 teams playing semifinals

might as well make it 8 then so quarters first

3rd and 4th place teams get a bye while 5th/8th and 6th/7th face off.

Then those two winners probably beat 3 and 4 because they’re not match sharp after sitting around for however long.

This extension of play off places just seems to be a money making exercise, there's something like 15 games left and every club with the exception of Sheff Wednesday have something to play for

 

[Blue Pride]

At least Wednesday managed to score a goal today. I have a lot of respect for Henrik Pederson he took over as manager when the club was pretty much to all intents and purposes shipwrecked.

Despite them being stranded at the bottom of the table even without the points deductions, he's kept a team with an increasingly threadbare squad someway competitive in a lot of games this season.

Hopefully better times are around the corner for the Owls once the takeover is hopefully approved.

 

[Nymzee]

The big one tonight.

 

[Ring master]

 

[Littlesue]

Wanted him at The Baggies but we got a PE Teacher instead

 

[RomanReigns]

Big win for franky

 

[TexanToffee]

Big win for franky

And Ellis Simms.

Although Wright did score all three today.
