The Championship Thread - 2025/26

Great goal.

 

Can’t help but notice that Josh Sargent has 5 goals for Norwich this season even though they’ve been terrible so far. I know a few mentioned him as a signing in the summer - I wonder whether the board would go in for him in Jan & would people be happy to see us sign him? & would he even sign for us?

 

They do, playing lots of the top or in-form teams




And they also play us too

 

Yep. Indeed, he's the exact type of signing that many Championship clubs could do with. Unlike Downs, who literally no Championship club could do with.

Oh just the thought of someone scoring a league hattrick for us. I still can't think of one since Mane got his two hattricks in relatively quick succession?

 

Think Norwich wanted in excess of £20m. Non starter at that price.

 

The Villa/City ones in 2016?

Christ was that really our last one. That's depressing.

 

Yeah. I can't be certain that I'm right, but I can't think of any other league hattricks since then. Lots of doubles, but not a treble.

 

I think you are right. I certainly can't think of one.

Can't see one this season either so we'll probably go a full decade without one.

 

Very true, forgot he has a ludicrous fee attached to him. Just checked contract until 2028 too, guess he’s stuck at Norwich for the foreseeable then

 

Oh for the days of SRL. He seemed to get one a month

 

Oh just the thought of someone scoring at all for us!

 

You off your meds again?

 

We normally concede from our own corners

 

Dr Southampton has clearly done the trick for Blackburn, currently in charge at Leicester (who dont look much better than us).

 

Totally agree their fixture list might be the most inbalanced ever. They basically have 2 easier quarters and 2 harder quarters, starting with easy. Which is probably how everyone would choose for their clubs to get confidence and form in the run up to playing bigger sides.

 

Mavididi with a Jander tier miss as well.

Aaaaand 2-0.

 

Rovers now 2-0 up!

 

Jesus. I've just realised we're 21st in the table. We could actually be in a relegation battle.

 

I see Leicester have a Cifuentes OUT thread, started on the 21st of October, amateurs

 

Also I think that could well be the end for Liam Manning at Norwich, I wonder if he is still on our radar
