Championship thread 23/24 (45 Viewers)

[Martin180]

Kitching far and away our best CB. Thomas and Binks are both quality though

Thomas has huge potential but is liable to an error a game , Binks is more composed albeit lacking the same physical presence .

Personally think if Binks was right footed him and Kitching would be our starting pair but still happy with Thomas and Kitching

Kitching isn't as good as Thomas in the air. No contest.

Kitching can't be that good as he spent half this year suspended.

And yes I prefer him to Binks.

Leicester vs Sheff Weds probably two out of the three clubs I would genuinely wish extinction and liquidation on

Love you too ⚽️

 

[alexccfc99]

How cute that the inbreds are going to have a little lower league team to follow next season

Is the third Maidstone so we get a bye?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Not if you’re in the away end

Or in goal

 

[Johhny Blue]

oh well if we can't beat plymouth then we probably aren't going to get anywhere near the play offs

That’s it then. If we lose tomorrow there’s no point watching the rest of the games.

 

[Sick Boy]

You know that for sure ?

Yeah those who’ve been ITK in the past said so on here. He’d have been a decent squad player for us to give us another option.

 

[Sick Boy]

Nixon said he did but Turner said he didn't.

Much of a muchness but Turner will have actually asked someone at the club.

I’d probably trust those ITK on here more, to be fair.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I’m not so sure , Robins doesn’t like players getting a bad disciplinary record . He certainly wound Gus back in early last season , I wouldn’t be surprised to see him make a point tomorrow night

Difference between first sending off (should have walked away) and second (fractionally mistimed tackle - not a discipline issue).

 

[SkyblueDad]

Crap set of results today. Have to try to beat Plymouth tomorrow. Play strongest 11 and go for it.

One game at a time we spanked Leicester who are now beating all before them again & we are good enough to beat anyone in this division.

 

[SkyblueDad]

He is our best centre back

No he isn’t Binks is

 

[Terry_dactyl]

No he isn’t Binks is

It’s a good sign that we can have differing opinions on this.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I think Thomas is our best

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I think we have some good centre backs....end unwinnable debate

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

My list would be

Thomas
Kitching
Binks
Lati

Is that in order of preference top to bottom?

Yes

Seen everyone losing their shit on Twitter over this... He literally crosses it to nobody & it takes a massive deflection in for an own goal

Ridiculously the FA have now given him the goal.

 

[covcity4life]

Still think everyone to 14th is alive in Playoff race

But worried wba will pull away too and it will be everyone fighting for 6th

Right now would hull and Norwich look the biggest threats to our spot but really could be anyone's as of yet.

Hopefully some of them lose their games in hands. Won't be a gimmie that's for sure

Draws might not be enough but for tonight I am happy

Makes a mockery of the rules really.

Shite cross that is going nowhere near the goal before it takes a massive deflection.

Agree that I can see us being in the race for the final spot with around 8-9 other teams. I’m not convinced we have the quality in squad depth to do it this season.

Either way we be in a strong position next year. Still got fa cup run that hopefully extends into march too

I agree - I’ve got high expectations for next season.

I agree - I’ve got high expectations for next season.

You look at the contracts thread and next two years are all people we prob choose to move on if we had a choice. Not cos we don't like all of them but because of there is an upgrade available we should do it.

Moore
Kelly
Allen
Palmer
Tavares
Bidwell

Etc

Only outlier are godden and o hare. One we want to keep and one we don't.

Hopefully they are very cautious owners and don't throw loads of money at it to support player purchases and cover large wages!
Fans seem very happy!

They're nearly always happy until reality hits home. Then when they don't get everything they hoped for they can very quickly turn against a new owner.

And it isn't as easy to buy success as many think. Other than restrictions on what can be spent it can still go wrong. Stoke are still an average Championship side. Then you can have the money being put in turned off for many reasons. What happened to the Leicester owner was tragic. But they went from Premier champions to the Championship in not many seasons. The Russian situation has had an effect also. Chelsea are not the only side to suffer.

To be a success you need more than money. A competent manager who doesn't waste the cash is top of the list to me.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Just clocked that it's WBA v Southampton tonight. Draw would be good but I'd be happy with a Southampton win, very unlikely we'll catch them so might as well do us a favour.
