2024-25 Championship Match Day Thread

Class win at Norwich. Heckingbottom is just absolutely levels above Lowe. He's made us into one of the best teams in the league out of possession and knows exactly how to play against the better teams.

Gibson is looking like one of the best signings we've made in the last decade.

Looks like Duane Holmes has broken his leg though, grim with him being out of contract in the summer.

Well they might do but too late to do much now unless the owners think a new guy will regain our form but the squad lacks depth.

Now the next thing is to make sure we win the next home game as fans won't accept anything less!

I don’t think you will need to worry about that next home game tbh!

Cracking result for you last night

Yeah, very surprised. Completely deserved too. Burnley at home next, would be nice to dent their promotion hopes. Twats.

Whilst a "shock" it sums up the division, barring the top 3 the rest of us can beat each other

 

[Valeite]

Again another big question mark above our team selection for the away trip to Sheffield United with a huge game at home to Cardiff lurking on Tuesday followed by another big match away at Oxford next Saturday. We've gone from having a squad with 1 championship standard CB to now having 3 and Ryler Towler (who can do a job) Also we now have some better bench alternatives than we did prior to the windows. I think Mous will rotate, but it should hopefully be less lambs to the slaughter. We may still lose and the gulf in spending power is crazy when Sheff united can bring in Cannon for £13 and Diaz on loan from our rivals. If we can have a solid back 4 and no go under if/when we concede the first goal we may be able to sneak a draw. Some touch choices for the coaching staff to make

Cannon seems like a bargain at that price!

Doughty out injured allegedly precautionary with a hamstring issue. I think totally given up on us ever being able to field our strongest side without some key player being unavailable seemingly at random

Looks to me like we are going one up top, pack the midfield and see if we can nick a point or ugly 0-0. Johnson and Walters as the starting fullbacks isn’t exactly inspiring confidence in that though

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

As expected Walters is having his arse handed him by Le Fee. I appreciate that not everything could be done in January but leaving him and Hashioka as our RB options is going to be a killer for our survival hopes ultimately I think.

Well that and we are just very very shit everywhere else too.

Bottom of the league at present and I think that’s a fair representation of where we’ve been this season. We deserve to go down as the bottom club, we are so so poor

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Don’t think I’ve ever been more convinced in a team going down than us this season. Think I had more hope last season and our first season at this level a couple of years back during the covid break we had more of a chance then.

With our fixtures January was so crucial and we got nowhere what we needed. I make it only really 6 “winnable” (meant in the loosest sense of that given how poor we are) looking games left and as 4 of those away you can write those off too. We will pick up the odd scrappy undeserved points likely at home but there’s just not enough to make this in anyway a close run thing.

The club has tried in January but too little too late I’m afraid. Proper introspection required in the coming months so we are ready for League 1 next season and not totally half baked like we started this one.

Luton Town are bottom of the Championship.

An utterly disgraceful situation.

 

[Tea Towel]

Swansea as poor a team as I’ve seen all season, although they did have one ruled out for offside in the last 10 seconds. That would have been typically Wednesday this season

Totally where we deserve to be. I’ve thought since December that I don’t think there will ultimately be a worse team than us come the end of the season, at no point, bar literally one aberration of a game, can we say we have played well.

Aye my foot nearly went through the tele

How have Millwall gone from winning or losing 1-0. To getting hammered at Plymouth. Their defence and midfield were fantastic at Fratton Park
