This league as been said many times before.
Anyone can beat anyone.
Apparently Preston annihilated Blackburn who were third away 4 - 1, then they play ourselves week later and to be fair our 1 nil win could have been by a much wider margin after one point from last eighteen available.
Appreciate we have new man in but it just shows with this league, you never know.
God knows why but I was feeling confident turning up to HQ to watch us v Burnley.
We do generally tend to be one of those teams that comfortably win away at Watford but get smashed at home to Rotherham.
It's a great league and this season it's tighter than ever before, three or four more defeats in a row and a play off team could be looking over their shoulder at relegation and vice versa.
The FFP rules for all apart from those receiving parachute payments mean its quite level playing field.
If only in football, top leagues around world especially the premier league where six teams always dominate and could give hope to all clubs that end up being brilliantly managed and run.
Hope by starting this thread we don't now lose 5 nil away to the mighty Cardiff chaps !!!!
Promotion means we generally get thrashed most weeks and where's the fun in that !!!
The most competitive of leagues no doubt !!! [Post edited 18 Dec 2022 3:00]

They haven’t won at home since October 29th,and that was only 1-0 against the might of Rotherham.We also normally do well there,so what could possibly go wrong? |  | | |

Oh god.
I know there's an element of confirmation bias in this but it really does make my heart sink when I hear about how long it is since x team last won at home or x player last scored. We seem to break other teams' losing runs with remarkable regularity.
Having said that Preston had a poor home record compared to their away record, so maybe this new manager bounce is overcoming the QPR helping lame ducks hoodoo. |  | | |

To even stem the losses in the Championship to FFP criteria would equate to £312 million a season.
At the same time the levelling off has created a jamboree for betting companies, the unpredictability filling their pockets and I hope the government come up with an imaginative way of extracting a significant proportion of those gains via taxation and push it in the direction of the EFL.
At the same time, make Sky reduce the payouts to Premier clubs by £10 million per club and redistribute to EFL clubs and salvation is back in the hands of club directors running their club properly.
We could then use FFP to keep some control on errant owners and largely remove the chances of properly run clubs going to the wall.
EFL football is fun, more enjoyable than Premier football. It surprises me just how many top six supporters are finding it all a bit too predictable these days. Hopefully this government might do something right for a change and sort the mess out. |  | | |

Just had a look at the table this morning. There's some big clubs in our league. A lot of them have recently been in the Premier league. That top 6 Norwich, Watford, Blackburn, Sheffield Utd,Burnley and then us.
We're doing well. |  |
