    not getting my hopes up as there has been a bit of overdue luck with decisions the last 2 games. But 6 scored and 2 conceded is a massive swing for us. Most of the bottom clubs picking up some points over the past week though and top 4 looking very solid.

    The Championship is a mental division, and great fun because of it.
    I thought Chair changed the game for you when he came on.
    A very tricky player when it is going for him.

    The fifth biggest league in Europe and we are still playing 46 league games a season.
    It is a bonkers league with the fixture list and we and probably all the others have 7 games this month.

    Mackems have parted company with Tony Mowbray. Ridiculous decision and absolutely classic Sunderland. He’s been there just 14 months, hasn’t had money to buy any players, has had to deal with some of his best players being sold and returned to parent clubs and yet has managed to get them to a healthy 9th by playing loads of kids. They have the youngest average aged squad in the Championship.

    It doesn’t seem to matter who owns the club, it continues to be a basket case.

    All bias aside, you have to feel for the fans, especially the ones who go away with them in their thousands every other game. My father in law is a fan of some 80 years and he’s absolutely raging tonight. Who do they think they’re going to get that’s better?

    Bringing bias back in, it’s fooking hilarious. What a sh*t show. Six toed mutants.

    And playing you're lot in the FA cup.
    Swansea also have sacked their manager.

    I wonder if Sunderland will get Heckinbottom in?

    Birmingham all over again with mental owners calling the shots! Only with Mowbray they were 3 points off 6th and who do they think will do a better job?

    it takes a lot for a club to look more mental than mine but Sunderland come pretty close

    They really are mental over the water. On reflection, I can only assume they're going for Heckingbottom on the basis that he's gotten a team promoted and has EPL experience, albeit getting mullered every week. The irony there is that the circumstances are very similar; no funds for players when promoted to a new league and having to make-do with loans and kids.

    Missed penalty against Ipswich to cost us points - what is it with Cov players whereby missed penalties always seem to cost us!

    As you were for the top three.
    It would've been top four but Watford got an injury time equaliser.
    Ipswich winning at Boro is probably, for me the best of them all.
    Leicester look like they're back at it, and a clean sheet for Leeds.

    was meant to heading your way for a pretty low £5m. on his day one of the best in this division but can do too much. On Friday he was miffed at being benched, but more importantly was varying his game rather than just cutting in and looking to shoot.

    his partnership with Willock was key but he'd fallen out with Ainsworth (or didn't suit the up and at em style!)
