Major Isewater Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yep , the top six are generally in terrible form so it’s not just us . Is it nerves ? The shame is that we didn’t get all three points today but somehow we are closer to Preston than we were this morning. Brentford a shocking run as well . Fulham now a huge game . I still fear it will come down to our last game of the season to get the last play off place . Building up stocks of Isewater’s Squeaky Bum Oil as I write.

Prinny Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 There are 17 clubs below us as well. We only really watch us regularly and some of us not even that. This season, this league is a mess. More than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be picky: ....over the last 5 games there is no team in the top 17 in worse form than us!! Brentford joint with us on 4 points from 5 games. And Sheffield Wed too.

Both Hull & Boro on the slide....Wigan showing some decent form, Brum's only win in 5 against us?, Brentford have hit the buffers, we've conceded more goals than Wigan, Boro have scored less goals (34, worst in division) than Wigan, Hull have only scored 2 goals less than us (but will be lucky to score another this season after Bowen & Grosicki departed in Jan window). It's a bonkers league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just proves how unpredictable and even the Championship is. My assessment is that it’s a very average division this year, with a lot of average teams, and you don’t have to be very good to still have a chance of finishing top six. PS - that table suggests Brentford only have one point from their last five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlesbrough have been flogging quite a bit of their top talent, for combined reasons of FFP and parachute payments running out. Lady season it was Gibson, Traore, Bamford. This season Braithwaite, Randolph in January. Fielding more youth too, that's just off the top of my head. Oh yeah Flint. Think they're in transition. Thought Derby would be higher too, lost some but decent manager in on paper at least, adding Bielik, Clarke and since January Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
