Championship - 22-23

[Blue blood]

Warnock continues to show he knows what he is doing when it comes to a relegation fight. Smart move for Hudds appointing him.

I wish them the very best in their next game.

Like 3-2 at home v. Sheffield Un-tied this lunchtime. Which adds to the pressure on the team 8th in the Championship table to keep close to the teams ahead of them.

And it's t's a bit of a beggar, so whisper it; but the Dingles could do us a favour by winning at Luton this afternoon.

You're welcome .... 😎

Looking to me like Rotherham will end up getting relegated again. If so then they must be close to setting some kind of record as they've literally either been promoted or relegated every season since 16/17.

Never dull, I suppose ...

Northampton Town' s record in the 1960's takes some beating. They kicked off 1960-61 in the 4th Division and with 3 promotions in 5 seasons, played a season in the top flight in 1965-66. They went down after just one season, two more relegations followed over the next 3 seasons, and kicked off 1969-70, back in the 4th Division ....

Didn't Swansea do similar in the 80s?

Yes, they were promoted in 1977-78 from the 4th Division, went up again the following season, and in 1980-81 were promoted to the top flight. They finished 6th in their first season, finishing above Villa, Everton & Forest, before being relegated in 1982-83. They then suffered 2 relegations in the next 3 seasons, and started the 1986-87 back in the 4th Division ...

Qpr sack Critchley just in time for our game..  

[DE.]

Proper Mandela Effect moment for me, as I swear I'd already read about him being sacked at least a week ago.

He is always amongst the favourites when that job comes up 

[roverandout]

No sympathy for him. Walked out on Blackpool when he was given an opportunity.  Failed at the easy life at villa.  Then got found out at qpr

Wouldn't surprise me if Wilder goes in there

Rich Sharpe has said this "Rovers have already faced eight teams this season with either an interim manager, or one taking charge of their first game. Look set to add to that next weekend."

Was close to it last week, probably waited until they have a replacement set to replace him

always favourite for that job but nothing ever happens with him

[Mattyblue]

JDT the 8th longest serving manager in the Championship…

[Ianrally]

I hope QPR get Nathan Jones.

[BigBar]

Ryan Manning leaving Swansea in the summer. Swansea confirm he won't be resigning. Very capable left back, should be all over that and was linked here previously

Watford v wba 1-1 after an hour. Ideal result for it to stay the same

[Gordon Gekko]

2-1 Watford 

[Gordon Gekko]

3-2 Watford, goals galore!

All sloppy goals though.

Sums up why these two big spending teams are where they are. Talented, but disorganised.

Ainsworth appointed at QPR in time for Saturday

New manager bounce.

Blackburn lad.

Only one result. 

[Giant]

We’re jinxed with teams who’ve got a newly appointed manager for their first game. Good appointment for QPR, Ainsworth was well liked as a player there.

[Ianrally]

It makes me wonder whether we really did make an approach for Ainsworth.
