Championship 2023/24

Excellent for Ipswich. Like Luton, It's always good seeing a team that struggled for so long get this kind of reward.

Really don't care which one of the play off teams gets promoted. Much of the same, they'll come up and go back down within a year or two.




I get what you're saying, they deserved it the way they got rid of Eustace, but after Rooney's disaster spell, it was Tony Mowbray/Gary Rowett that took them down.
Harsh on Mowbray! He got 6 points from 3 games before he had to step down for medical reasons.
 
A big relief that we stayed up, but it is not an achievement and not something we should celebrate. We should have secured a steady mid-table finish, and never should have allowed ourselves to get dragged into a relegation battle, failing to even mathematically secure survival going into the final day, in the first place.

Sammie Szmodics scoring 27 league goals and finishing as the top scorer, in such a struggling, under-performing team, reflects well on him. Clearly he’s going in the summer, and I wish him well.

It is quite funny though that when we were in a disastrous run of form, we still went to Elland Road, won and heavily damaged their automatic promotion bid.

I’m delighted for Ipswich. Given that the gulf between the Championship and League One has widened considerably in modern times, back to back promotions is incredible. And I’m also happy that Sheffield Wednesday stayed up while Birmingham were relegated.
we've been linked with Szmodics would love him think he'd fit in
 
Nah, you set a goal and if you don't achieve it you do changes. At normal clubs anyway.

Most Hull fans seem to think it's harsh. Looking at their previous league positions it seems so too?
 
A bit embarrasing that pitch invasion from the Bolton fans after a 3-2 home defeat, they arnt even promoted yet and have only just scrapped through to the playoff final.
 
Hope Norwich or West Brom make it up. Leeds and Southampton have good players that could be available on cut price deals in the summer if they stay down/they'd be a much stronger proposition in the PL if they were promoted.
 
Come on Norwich, my local team. Would be good having the 2 East Anglian teams back in the PL.
 
Such a poor game. Neither of those teams look remotely good enough to go up.

I only 50% agree with you for obvious reasons. I don’t think I’ve wanted to see a Leeds win in my life until today. It feels wrong.
 
Some really poor technical ability on display here.

On paper Norwich have a couple of good players, especially Sara, and Leeds do too. Really not seeing it so far though, but that’s the nerves I reckon.
 
It’s been over a decade and I still look at Norwich and assume Grant Holt is up front
 
Both games today have been shocking.

When Wagner took Huddersfield up through the playoffs he did it with three 0-0 draws, winning both the semi and final on pens. Which doesn’t bode well for the return match.

I want Southampton to go up. Obviously don’t want Leeds, and Norwich and West Brom would be to boring.

His team are to boring. Don’t fancy seeing Norwich in the prem again, they’ll probably get battered every week.
 
Bit of a long shot perhaps but is there someone with a Oxford United/Bolton Wanderers membership. I would like four tickets for the play off finals at wembley this saturday and tried everything else already
 
2nd Leg of Leeds v Norwich tonight at Elland Road

Southampton and West Brom play their 2nd leg tomorrow night at St Mary's.

Both are 0-0 at the moment and it will probably be 2 home wins to setup a Leeds v Southampton final

Leeds are the Spurs of the EFL play-offs. So, I am hoping Norwich win tonight then lose to Soton in the final.

I’d kind of want West Brom to go up. Don’t know why. Maybe because Ipswich would have a better chance of surviving. Or perhaps I don’t want the same teams every (other) year.
 
I want Leeds back in the Premier League eventually, but not after their feral fans suffer a couple of playoff heartbreaks first. Wouldn't mind them winning tonight and losing in the final.
