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. |  | | |  |

I bored myself banging on about this last season, but those stats are misleading without taking into account points deductions (as deductions cannot be relied on).
So 22/23 50 points would have been needed, in 21/22 it would have been 47. 50 as a target is perfectly reasonable, but last season people were bandying around totals in the high 50s.
This year the pace is well off, which isn't surprising given the number of teams involved in the attritional mid to lower table slug fest.
You do need to be poor to go down, we can agree on that. Look how often we've survived! [Post edited 28 Nov 15:48]

But surely the point is that points deductions are becoming fairly commonplace, and part of life in the Championship? You can’t remove them to make a point if they have impacted relegation/survival in prior seasons.
Personally I don’t recall anyone bandying around points totals in the high 50s to stay up last season. I recall people saying 50-53, which seems entirely reasonable.
My guess will be 46 will keep you up this year. | | | |

Remarkably Sheffield United have won 8 games in a row at home without conceding a goal. We are the only team to score and get anything at Bramall Lane. However, not only is there a gulf between us and the Premiership but also with us and the top of the Championship. Sheffield United 8 home wins to our zero says a lot. |  | | |
