The Championship 23/24 Thread

I always think when it’s displayed like that it doesn’t look like enough teams.

 

Middlesbrough away probably.

 

Hopefully. I'm on holiday opening weekend

 

You have just jinxed it to Swansea at home now

 

New kit, new manager and new fixtures tomorrow. Too much excitement for 1 week.

Also EFL Cup draw.

28. Southampton v 25. Portsmouth please

 

I would like Ipswich away up first, for no other reason than I really like Portman Road and think it'd be a good one in the sun.

On a more serious note, I think it could be handy to play away to start with and get a result under our belts (hopefully!) before RM's first home game.

 

I'd like to avoid popular away games such as QPR and Plymouth early on so I've got time to add a few away games to my account beforehand.

Not that bothered after that really. Just need to hope that we're at home when I'm on holiday.

 

I'd rather avoid a derby early on tbh as it might take us a while to settle with lots of changes. We can have that in the FA Cup instead in the new year.

To think there were people who wanted us to draw them in the FA Cup this year... Can you imagine

 

That would be a very lose-able first game. Much prefer Rotherham at home.

 

Anyone at home for me.

I remember our last meander through the championship started with a cracking win in the sun against Leeds. Quality strike from Deano if I recall.

Something similar to that would be lovely

 

That Leeds game still up there among my favourite home games. Great day.

 

Chances are either us, Leeds or Leicester will be involved in the Friday night game to kick off the season.

 

I think they'll pair those two to get a big TV audience on the first weekend.

 

I think they'll get a sizeable audience regardless - it will be the first proper game in months.

 

Starting with Sheffield Wednesday away

 

True but it'd be foolish to not stick Leeds on a TV game for the first weekend imo as they'll attract more than any other club.

 

FFS I really wanted to go there and not sure if I can that early.

Got banana skin written all over it too.

 

Off to Sheffield Wednesday! Cracker of an opener!
