Toyed with this idea last season. Shall we have a thread to discuss, comment on, cover the rest of the league? A place to discuss other teams’ results, performances, financial implosions, etc?
For example, last night, anyone catch either of the first two games? I didn’t. But somewhat surprised/worried Blackburn scored 4 given how they are meant to struggle. Was it Derby being utter sh*te?
Sounds like Preston are continuing in the same vein of being incredibly dull.
Clive, what do you think? Worth making a sticky? Might reduce the number of threads to manage. |  | | |  |

Preston v Burnley 0-0. Which idiot at Sky thought that would be a good game to be their lunchtime ‘Main Event!’? Viewers must’ve been in single figures.
Scotty Parker grimly grinding his way to promotion to the ‘promised land’ before being found out again next season as they get bummed 3 or 4 nil every game and relegated again: I’d hate to be a Burnley supporter. |
Haven’t looked at the top of the table much and was surprised to see that for all the fuss about the number of clean sheets Burnley have achieved….they are five points off the automatic promotion places! Parker doing half the job really well. |  | | |

I really hope Burnley don't go up. |  | | |

We've played 12 games against the top nine and won one (Blackburn H).
It's only when you start getting to Watford in 10th and Norwich in 12th that you get to teams we've taken 3/4 points off.
Probably an indication of about where we are in the league.
Bottom 6 we've also played 11 times and only lost twice (Hull H, Derby A). |
A lot of those games were early in the season. All logic points to we'll finish roughly where we are now which would be a very good season but there is nothing really to fear from the teams above us. I don't look at Bristol City up in 8th and think they are miles better than us.
Last season when we looked cut adrift I thought if we could cut the gap to 3 points or less going into the last month we'd have a good chance, is similar going the other way, if we have a good March and win next week, which is far from certain, we'll be in a pretty healthy position
I should add I don't think we will do it but it's nice to dream and the board has felt a bit negative this week considering we just won 4-0 |  | | |

We were 16 points behind Middlesbrough after they thumped us on November 5th,and now we’re level on points with them,although with a worse GD.That is one hell of a turn round in form.
Whatever happens between here and May will be a lot better than the disaster that we looked to be heading towards.
The next month will be tough,but it will be a lot easier than doing it from 24th place. |  | | |

Thought Leeds looked a cut above anything else I've seen in the championship this year. Surely they've got to do it this time!? Even might break their Loftus Road curse (hopefully not).
Haven't been hugely impressed with anyone else tbh.
Isidor for Sunderland looks a proper talent though. | | | |

Sunderland sat so deep in the second half it was almost inevitable that at least one goal was going to get through.
Reminded me of the 1st half away to Lids in 2023. |  |

Two things come to mind with Burnley (a) Easiest goal of the month competition possible and (b) being a supporter that dropped off to sleep when they scored it. |  | | |

Huge game tonight: Preston v Millwall.
Hoping for a 0-0, several sendings off and a points deduction for aggravated racial abuse by a player (Preston) and crowd trouble (Millwall).
Failing that I'll settle for any draw. |  |

A one goal win for PNE keeps them below us on GD,and keeps the p@keys well away from us. | | | |

1-1 with 86 gone currently. Not a terrible result for us if this hold out. | | | |
