The Championship 23/24 Thread

Still only 1 win in 7. That's not promotion form, even if they had a tough run.

 

Both times they've got late equalisers against Leicester.

So annoying as we still can't get into 2nd.

Even with this form its proving tough to catch up.

 

Nice.

It isn't about finishing 1st. It's about there being two auto slots available.

 

We are suiting being the chaser too. Different mindset and hopefully will help keep us focused when the next league game comes around.

 

We were 12 points behind Ipswich 6 weeks ago. I'd say we've caught up.

 

Definitely, but their ability to rescue points has held it to a wobble, rather than the death spiral it could have been.

 

I’m happy with that. It’s what the table looks like after 46 games that matters, and we are now just 8 points off the top.

 

Also our position of chasing 2 teams and not being in the auto spots seems to have motivated the team. Perhaps psychologically it’s spurring us on.

 

I must admit it is nice being only 8 points off 1st.

 

Now it's their turn to have a very nice run of fixtures. 11 league games before we go to their place. A home game vs WBA is the only one of those 11 games against sides in the current top 11.

After a tough run of fixtures, can they get themselves straight back onto the winning bike again? They can't afford these draws to continue.

 

Depends how quick they turn it around. We had a run not dissimilar to that earlier in the season and will surely hit a bad patch soon.

They've got a decent run of games coming up.

 

Well said

 

Having a look at the fixtures then I think it'll be fascinating to see what the points totals of the top 4 are come the beginning of March.

 

I highly doubt it'll happen but if Leicester fail to beat Swansea next time out it'll be full on panic stations.

Might even sign up to Foxes talk if that happens.

 

True. But they have issues scoring goals, hence the lack of wins lately. They are solid defensively but can lack that ruthlessness in front of goal.

 

Yes but our bad run was near the start when we were learning the system. We’ve played so many games and injuries and fatigue will surely set in.

 

Seems to be a pattern for quite a few of us!

 

All we have to do is win the next 18 and just hope Leicester lose 3.
Seems simple enough

 

They scored plenty earlier in the season. Start to find that scoring touch again and I think they'll push it all the way.

Only scored two less than us. One more than Leeds.

 

I don’t mind 1-1 but would have preferred Ipswich to score first. I feel their morale is a little more fragile.
