I'm pretty sure, it was rebranded as the Championship the 1st season we were in it? I may be wrong, but I'll have a little google and come back!The 4-3 win against Man City in the year after we were relegated will live long in the memory (although technically not named ‘the championship’ at this stage). The season where Adams got us to 8th wasn’t bad, but in general we were never really very good during our entire stay!

Was that when we were 4-0 up after half an hour? One of those games that almost feels like an anti-climax at the end because we didn't score again and Preston bagged in the second half.The purple patch in 03/04 including the 1-0 v West Brom when Johnny Jackson got a late winner and the place went nuts, a 6-1 at Walsall, and an absolute thrashing of Preston, we weren’t good enough to go up but for a while it was highly entertaining stuff.
Yeah, pretty sure Kevin Kyle scored a debut goal in that game too. We won 3-0.I remember the Barnsley games we always seemed to win and I think a game we won against Norwich where Chris Birchall got his first goal
Although we generally finished in the bottom half of the Championship, we did quite well in our 1st game every season. The only one we lost was in our relegation season. Before that we had 2001/02 Stockport (A) 2-0, 2002/03 Sheff Utd (H) 2-1, 2003/04 Walsall (H) 0-0, 2004/05 Sunderland (H) 2-0, 2005/06 Norwich (A) 1-1, 2006/07 Sunderland (H) 2-1, 2007/08 Barnsley (A) 4-1, 2008/09 Norwich (H) 2-0, 2009/10 Ipswich (H) 2-1, 2010/11 Portsmouth (H) 2-0. The Walsall game was the only disappointing one out of that lot.
That Walsall game - was that the season we were supposed to play Watford first game and that player they had on loan from United died in a car crash?I remember the Ipswich game was Roy Keane's first in charge. Think we were live on sky as well. A good win.
You've missed the relegation season where we lost at home to Leicester and the writing was firmly on the wallAlthough we generally finished in the bottom half of the Championship, we did quite well in our 1st game every season.

That was bad, but then being one up at Palace after 90 and losing carved it!You've missed the relegation season where we lost at home to Leicester and the writing was firmly on the wall

His best game for us.Stephen Hughes in goal against Stoke!
Blackburn in the cup for atmosphere stands out, kids in Leon best masks
I can certainly pick out some worst games in the championship
It was against PlymouthWhat was that gameat the Ricoh in 2005 or 2006 where Adams had to make 3 changes at once, and until then we were really poor, and that completely changed it?
