Championship 21/22

Get in, well done Derby.

[RevidgeBlue]

Great result.

Just need QPR to oblige now.

[rigger]

I've always liked Derby.

[oozy]

Things are really falling into place for us. Still, no room for complacency as 23rd can absolutely beat 3rd in this division.

Bottom (although they'd be mid-table without deductions) just beat 4th.

How on earth did Deby win, absolutely dire, worst team I've seen this season, and yet WBA fail to win. Good omens 🙂

 

[A Northern Horde...]

Great result but means nothing if we cant beat the Tykes!

[USABlue]

CKR once a Rover...., what a gifted goal that was a draw later and it's been a good day.

[TruRover]

Personally I would rather a qpr win - I don’t expect them to be up there come end of the season

Think that's a bit harsh. They chased and harried never giving WBA the opportunity to settle. All credit to the Rams. Great result for them and - more importantly - Rovers!!

West Brom aren't a happy camp. Ismael is a "percentage football" manager. Defensively solid and living off set-pieces seems to be his mantra. West Brom fans are expecting to be in the top two at a canter.

They create loads of chances every game, if they had a goalscorer they would be in top spot now

[BRFC4EVA]

Draw would be the best result for us here surely?

[bazza]

Bournemouth win 1-0. Goal by Solanke. 4 points clear of us as it stands.

West Brom lack creatively and quality striker. Their current style doesn't suit their players like Diangana, Robinson or Grant. Plus they don;t create much from open play.

Whisper it quietly….but we could be top of the table on the 2nd Jan with Fulham and Bournemouth not playing until the 3rd.

Bournemouth have a decent home game tomorrow night though which they will surely win.

Ah yes - I thought that was postponed but it’s the WBA match that is off. 

[BRFC4EVA]

Bit of a shame that Boro managed to nick a winner after conceding an injury time equalizer themselves. They're looking in threatening form

one game at a time, one game at a time!

Fulham fans must be looking at what's going on and thinking WTF? How did the team we beat 7-0 on their own patch end up level on points with us less than two months later? Keeping in mind we were 12th at the time and 12 points behind Fulham who were still 2nd. 

Much like BBD's sudden transformation, it's unfathomable how we've ended up in this position. Like somebody went into the in-game editor in Football Manager, ramped up BBD's stats before the season started and then did the same for Mowbray's stats after the 7-0.

More of us are positive towards the team given this run, whether over optimistic or not, we should just let it evolve. The last 11 years have been horrible, I couldn't even enjoy chasing the title in League one, as it was league one. Let's just enjoy the optimising, No matter its strength, as a season where we may chase promotion back to our rightful place is a decade overdue.

The Efl have announced they are scrapping on the day testing which will prevent another Hull happening

Is there a link to this story? I'd really like to know the rationale behind this.

Be suprised if they draw or lose to Cardiff, but you never know.
