The Championship Fred 23/24

[senwar]

We (Wednesday) are gone. Yesterday was just horrific. I felt worse walking out yesterday than I did at the 6-0 debacle to Ipswich 2 weeks ago. Hard to believe how Ipswich have progressed since we missed a sitter at 2-0 at their place in February last year and ended up 2-2. They’ve just become a winning machine and are currently 48 points better off than us. A team that came up with them last season. Unreal and fair play.

I’ll be down Saturday. One of my favourite grounds lotus road although the view on the upper is crap. Played there twice for school in the 80s at half time in our games so a mini claim to fame ha.

Last chance saloon for us and a reaction needed. One I don’t think will happen and will hammer the nails that little bit further.

4 weeks ago. Football eh. God bless ya.

Also congratulations to Ipswich. Fair play

Not a town fan (WHU STH), but live in the county and have loved their story. Same group of layers achieving back to back success and playing the right way, what an achievement.

I hope Norwich come up too, be good to see them both in the Prem next year.

I do fear for Leeds in the play offs...in poor form and a lack of confidence. Firpo can be a liability despite good going forwards. Had a shocker today for the second goal. I like to think the Norwich sub-plot will be enough to galvanise the team. However, a potential final against Southampton? Not looking too rosy...

Ironic that Blackburn sent Birmingham down as their manager is John Eustace who was sacked by Birmingham this season when they were 6th!

The madness of bringing Rooney in is all to apparent just bloody crazy I feel for the genuine blues fans.

Such a brilliant result. After years of refusing to go down like a turd stuck in a toilet, they finally drop. After being owned by some truly dreadful owners, their new "saviours" are the ones to finally get them out of the division, just not in the direction they hoped for. That's twice they've sacked a manager when in 6th to then appoint absolutely terrible managers in their place. Good riddance, and apologies to the good supporters of League 1, not all people from the city are like them.

Unbeaten at home in 16 matches (5th November) and we figure pretty high in the various form tables.

The whole squad has confidence and battle but quality is shaky. Three players out for a while figured today which was great to see.

I’ve got a good feeling.

Pitch.

Story of the championship…. Amazing

Close run thing with Sheffield Wednesday’s unbelievable escape. Don’t think they’d been out of the bottom 3 all season until a couple of weeks ago.

Well the new US owners of Birmingham didn't want to be in the Championship next season. thinking Eustace wasn't the man and a marquee name was needed............ and got what they wanted!

As a Wednesday fan I’m obviously ecstatic - but Ipswich deserve every accolade and definitely are this seasons story for me. Phenomenal achievement and shows what momentum does

Yep you’re right too - only got out of bottom 3 for first time on 21st April. 252 days in the bottom 3.

[westberks]

Congratulations Ipswich. What an incredible achievement. To the Prem from the 1st division in consecutive seasons. Amazing job.

totally; double promotion with a modest budget is an amazing achievement

I like to think that my predicting us fecking up at home against you in the very next game was the salvation of your season..... you're welcome :)

I have no idea how we are going to beat you over two legs.
The coaching staff don't know either.
We have lost all confidence and belief and I really don't think we can get it back this season.
This is when you rely on characters and leaders who can motivate and I don't see a single one, maybe with the exception of Connor Roberts.
I counted a single shot from us second half and that was from a set piece.

Anything can happen over these two legs, I we need a sizeable lead into the second leg, your gaff is tough.

That’s some quality Villa saltiness…. Chapeau!!!

It was, less so now. Genuinely Leeds look clueless going forward and shaky defensively. If Leeds don't score first, which they've stopped doing lately, then you win and Leeds have conceded early recently.....

I recognise the job Farke has done this season but he has been out managed in games recently and seemingly has no in game tactical awareness (or set piece specialist, we must have had 150+ free kicks and corners without scoring!).

[senwar]

For those going to the play offs. Don’t become too disheartened as anything can happen.

We came into them in bad form (we did win our last two but went 8 without a win)

I was at both legs of ours last year (0-4 / 5-1). If that shows you anything, it’s that nothing is guaranteed. I doubt anyone thought we’d get through after the first leg let alone go up.

I remember watching that 2nd leg on the TV. Utterly amazing game. I remember it made me switch from West Ham's European semi final to watch it!

I think it was vs Peterborough and it went to penalties at the death right? Crazy game!

Took to extra time with last kick of the game. Own goal in extra time put it back in Peterborough favour but we came back again. Then a perfect set of penalties. Followed by the 120+3 winner at Wembley

Amazing amazing night that I’ll never forget.

Hull City have sacked their manager having got them to their highest position in the league in several years and missing out on a play off place by 3 points. Seems an odd decision having signed a contract in December any Hull fans on here, happy with that decision?
