Yeah I was surprised you lost to us to be fair. But gave us out confidence back so I'm not complaining!
Championship 22/23

Lost?
Sorry drew.
Watched a few of the Middlesbrough games and something is just not clicking. Error prone at the back and wasting good chances/field position. If it starts to go right they'll be in the playoffs. Giles from Wolves is outstanding at that level.
Watford looked very good last night, aside from the Newcastle kit (strange to turn the TV on and see an Asprilla playing in black and white stripes, had 90s flashbacks). The front 2 of Sarr and Pedro look unstoppable at that level when they click.

Was a proper scrap that game, think injuries to some of our starters dinted our chances. It’s our away form that needs to improve as at home I’m confident against anybody.
Big game away to Stoke. If it's a loss I can see Martin being under serious pressure. It's a shame because the squad is significantly weaker than the one we ended last season with, and I really respect what he's trying to do.
So Preston have played 7 and got eleven points! However they’ve only scored 2 goals all season and conceded NONE! Never known anything like it!!
You'd think that a team that has scored just 2 goals in 7 matches must be on course to relegation, well not really if you haven't conceded at the same time 
How close is it at this stage? Rotherham lost 0-3 today, end up in 12th. A win and they would have been 3rd (with a game in hand).
7 clean sheets in a row is impressive. Do they have any incarnations of beckenbauer and Baresi at CBs?
First time I’m watching Burnley this season. The football Kompany has them playing is pretty impressive. Very un-Burnley like. Lovely to watch.
This is a quality game
Burnley have to change goalkeepers
I am tired of Fulham, Bournemouth, Norwich, Burnley, Watford taking turns and getting promoted and relegated although Fulham this season look like a proper Premier League club. No one can step up in the championship to challenge them?
How have WBA not scored!
Sheffield United have got a quality squad imo and should push any of those teams.
What a game that was!
I remember seeing that Asante on The Class of 92 documentary whilst on trial a few years ago at Salford in the National League - to think he could be playing in the Premier League next season is what dreams are made of!

That's about as good as any PL game I've seen this season
I am tired of Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Man Utd, Arsenal taking turns and getting in to the Champion's League although Spurs this season look like a proper Champion's League club. No one can step up in the Premier League to challenge them?
I am tired as well. I hope we step up and Challenge them but anyways when did Arsenal and Tottenham start making the champions league regularly? I know you are being sarcastic but still...
They were awesome when they first got promoted few years ago, they even beat Chelsea 3-0.
After a slow start, Norwich are back at the top of the table again. 
These clowns are going to yo-yo back up again, aren't they? Then Fulham next season, inevitably...
I hate Norwich.

Huddersfield have sacked Danny Schofield after just 9 games in charge
Unsurprising - was never going to fill the Carlos Corberan sized hole and they have had a shit start to the season.
They're paying massively for not backing Corberan when he asked them too after the play-off final.
The third goal they conceded wasn't much better, they set up Piroe for a 1v1 in their own box

What a roller-coaster season for us so far. 5 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats, with excellent performances during all 5 of those wins, and terrible performances during 4 of those 5 defeats, with the only exception the home game against Stoke when we were unlucky to lose.
The inconsistency is a bit frustrating, but I then again it's better points-wise to win and lose games than rack up a lot of draws. When we were relegated in 2017 the problem was too many draws during the back of the end season.

now 7 managerial sackings/changes. only 11 games in
Brucey will be gone any day now as well.
Getting a nosebleed up in 6th.
Very tough run of games now, at least Cardiff is amongst that run so an easy three points and a breather.

Still going
Why are Norwich incapable of investing enough any time they come up? They're not short of fans as I'm aware - certainly not compared to some others. They must just have owners of modest means compared to other owners that come up?
Our start to the season has been truly remarkable in a way; 7 wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats.
In 6 out of the 7 matches that we won, we were excellent. The exception was the win last week against Millwall was a pretty poor quality game all round.
In 5 out of the 6 matches that we lost, we were terrible. The exception was the defeat at home to Stoke when we were the better team and unlucky to lose.
I guess winning and losing is better than a string of draws. When we were relegated in 2017, the problem was basically too many draws during the run-in.

After 4 wins on the bounce and confidence high, this was Swansea's worst performance of the season. 4-0 and a really woeful outing from the lads. Piroe getting a red while 4-0 down was just moronic, especially now that he'll be missing the Cardiff game. Dropping Darling for Naughton was a very questionable choice. Good season so far but a very frustrating day. Burnley play some great stuff under Kompany and I expected a loss just a shame it came with such a shoddy performance.
Felt great beating QPR after they celebrated against us last year like they won the world cup.
Norwich and then Watford up next. Big week ahead.

A first away win for quite a while which was great to see, though we made it unnecessarily stressful for ourselves during the 2nd half. Thankfully Kaminski was excellent.
I was frustrated that we’d become a ‘nice’ team to play against on the road, trying to pass the ball out from the back, being far too open and looking vulnerable on the counter attack, lacking much needed ‘street smarts’ and grit etc.
I’m genuinely fascinated by our sequence of games without a draw, which is now at 20 league games and counting, with 10 wins and 10 defeats apiece. We’ve really struggled with the Saturday-Tuesday turnaround this season, so we’re probably due for a poor performance and a defeat against Sunderland next time out.

Being top of the league after 14 games with 25 points must be a record for the lowest amount of points? Bad quality again in the championship?
How is a competitive League the sign of low quality? Surely it’s the opposite where if one team has 42 points it’s a sign of a poor league.
