[Football] The Championship 2023/24

[Exilegull]

A year on loan in a top 5 league and he will be ready for us if he can keep fit

 

[Is it PotG?]

Leicester losing, Mighty Leeds (Ch of Eu) drawing.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Leeds 1 shot on target, Sunderland 3.

What a classic

 

[Acker79]

More dropped points for Leicester, as Plymouth win 1-0. Moves the pilgrims 5 points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the weeked fixtures, hopefully that puts them in a good position to stay up.

Unfortunately, Leicester and Ipswich are currently doing their best to make sure that Leeds get automatic promotion.

 

[Springal]

Mental that Leicester were 17 points clear at one point

 

[Easy 10]

Leicester are cheats.

I'm far from being a fan of Leeds, their failures are always fun. But they ARE a more interesting presence in the PL than Leicester. If I had to choose, I'd much prefer Leeds and Ipswich for the automatics.

I’ve always liked Plymouth. Probably because they always brought a few back in the day.

Hope Ipswich take advantage although all 3 don't seem to at moment

The way it's been recently, Southampton must be wondering if top 2 hasn't quite gone for them after all. They would only be 4 points off the top if they won their 2 games in hand, and 2 of their last 3 games are against Leicester and Leeds.

I was thinking the same. They certainly have a chance, and with those two games it’s almost in their own hands. If they can get within two points of Leeds they play them away on the last game.

 

[Bozza]

Leeds 0 - 1 Blackburn

 

[oldboyroy]

And Ipswich losing

 

[Simster]

Southampton were done a week or two ago. Since then I think the top 3 have picked up a point between them in 6 games if Ipswich lose today!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Town 1-0 up against brizzle

ger in!

 

[Dave the OAP]

….and they draw with a penalty in the 100th minute of the game

for feck sake

 

[Gabbiano]

The top 3 seem to all be doing their best to balls it up. Could Southampton sneak in?

As an aside, has anyone else noticed that points totals for promoted sides seem to be increasing in the last couple of seasons?

We missed out on promotion to Boro on 89 points which was considered unusually high for 3rd. This year in the Champ it seems that there are 4 teams will probably reach at least that number. Last season across the top 4 divisions I think 4 or 5 teams reached 100 points, this used to happen only once every few seasons (although looks like this year the champions will all land in the 90s).

 

[Is it PotG?]

Come on 'Boro......

Leeds 1-0 down already
