Championship thread 24/25! (9 Viewers)

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Wonder if there will be a bid for Hamer in Jan from a prem side. Sheff united are tight for cash and it would them up royally.

Haven’t they just been taken over?

Hope sunderland go up tbh. Proper team.

Much rather that than another Burnley or Sheff Utd, who will undoubtedly go down with a whimper the subsequent season

You mean like the 2005/6 season when Sunderland got relegated with a record low of 15 points.

Several times when the camera was on Wilder he’d be spitting. What a dirty bastard

Whoever goes up will be straight down without serious investment.

Sheffield United conceded 104 goals last year with virtually the same players.

Just been taken over and now have money to spend

He’s right. The standard this year in the Championship is pony.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

It is poor but when you get up it’s difficult to spend to improve due to ffp.

I'd say it is more even than "pony".
Which makes our season even more frustrating.

 

[Sick Boy]

The bottom 3 in the PL now will be those coming down. The only team that'd worry me would be Southampton. I think Ipswich would lose their manager and best players and Leicester would be fucked.

Just watching Sunderlnd Portsmouth game. sunderland 1-0 up after 7 min with a great counter attacking goal. Fast attacking football, striker taking his chance one on one and fans on the edge of their seats every time Sunderland players running with the ball.
they were the days

dont think many expected them to do what they have this year , browne turning out to be a great signing

They hardly spent anything either. As much as I hate to say it I can see them going up and they remind me of our play off season grinding results out, last minute goals and a team of mainly freebies and home grown talent with one or two transfer surprises

He isn’t playing and has a broken leg.

HAHA Shows how much i take notice of them lol

I only knew because I was looking on live score the other day as I couldn’t see him playing.

 

[Jamesimus]

12 appearances, total of 617 minutes.

Don’t think he’s been “bad” for them, but certainly not been missed since injury. Still glad we didn’t sign him.

I hope we're still in the championship ourselves to play them

 

[torchomatic]

Jimmy Dunne for QPR misses an open goal. If he was playing for us there would be multiple threads stating how shit he was.

 

[coop]

The worst thing about the last few weeks if our strikers take their chances, Bassette should of made it 2-0 against pompey,BTA scores header against Cardiff and his chance at Norwich to make it 2-0,we would be on 37 points looking at playoffs.In this league you have to take your chances.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Didn’t realise how bad Luton are doing! Even they could be relegated. Meteoric rise to shit again in only a few yrs

 

[skybluecam]

How is Edwards still in a job

The margin between being a playoff/auto team and being a bottom half team in this league is very little. Revisiting the 22/23 season, how often did we grind out results where we won when we should've drew or drew when we should've lost.

Right now, it feels that every 50/50 goes against us. I'm a firm believer that you make your own luck in life and this team just makes life hard for themselves defensively and doesn't gamble in attack.

I believe we'll do some good business in this window and the next and develop the team to next level.

Long contract on mega money.

Yeah but he's only scored 3 in the last 4 for them.

It’s a streaky confidence based league outside the parachute clubs. It’s why the manager and the team mentality is so important IMO. Small margins make huge differences.

Realistically how long does Edwards have left? They’re having an even worse season than us and that is saying something

His pay off would be massive, on £2M a year apparently.

That’s a lot! I’m surprised he hasn’t been sacked but he probably deserves a chance to turn the ship around.

Their team will probably be gutted in the summer too to make things worse for them. Frankly, if we don’t at least get within 6-10 points of playoffs this season, our better players may want to leave themselves as we need to demonstrate we are serious about promotion.

Maybe our players should demonstrate that themselves.
