GrahamC Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Clearly it is subjective, but also clearly that list is utter bollocks. How many Championship games do you have to have played to qualify? Andy Cole say, he was quite good.. Very sad what happened to Whittingham but no way in a million years is the best ever. Norwood as well, seriously? Collymore as mentioned above was sensational, Rob Lee another that was top quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Pile of clickbait crap that doesn't even bother setting it's own parameters. Seven players have won the division 3 times. Not a single one is on that list. Four players have more than 400 appearances in the Championship. Not a single one is on that list. I'm not saying that should get them on that list, but it's an indication that this is a list of "players people have heard of and will talk about in the comments/interact with this tweet about". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to post something similar. Generally it feels like providing opinions which generate social media interest is more important to Second Tier pod compared to, an obvious example, Not The Top 20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are talking strictly about “the Championship” which only came into being in 03-04. Plain old League1/Division2 before then. But, nevertheless, agree with your overall assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Ok, here's a go at an alternative top 5 (**** off am I doing a Top 20). Championship only, so starting with the 2003/04 season. If you loved a player who played before then sorry, I am sure they were wonderful but they won't make this list. First, some basic criteria. To be on this list a player must have either i) made at least 100 appearances, or ii) played at least 6,000 minutes in the second tier of English football during or after the 2003/04 season. This list is primarily stat based, but I've put a couple of wildcards in there as well. All stats are based on transfermarkt. Billy Sharp: the Championship's record goalscorer with 130 goals, "only" 7 of which have been scored against Bristol City. If you want goals at this level and live in 2013, then call Billy's agent. Albert Adomah: the only outfield player to have made more than 500 appearances (510) in the Championship. Turning out for 6 clubs, scoring 69 goals and notching 73 assists. Everyone's favourite Uncle Albert is Mr. Championship so far as I am concerned. Lee Camp: the man who holds the record for the number of appearances at this level, with 523. Goalkeepers get forgotten but for nearly two decades Camp was an ever present in the division. Chris Martin: ranked fourth for appearances, ranked fifth for goals scored, ranked fourth for points won. There's not really another possibility for the fourth placed spot on this list is there? David "the Difference" Nugent: 415 appearances with 121 goals. A champion with Leicester in 13/14 and a full England international. Wildcard: Tammy Abraham: second only to Mitrovic in terms of goals/minute at this level the lanky teenager smashed in 48 goals in just 78 games (he's got over 6,000 minutes though) for first Bristol City and then Aston Villa. I enjoyed watching him, even in our otherwise poor team that season, and he's gone onto have a wonderful career at the very top of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would rule out your No. 1 I did seriously debate including that...but when it precludes the all time top scorer I think you just half to swallow your medicine and begrudgingly include him. I'd be all for swapping him with Albert though. Albert's really my number one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
