Swifty sure does like a relegation scrap doesn`t he.

Really hard to tell if it's a case of him not being quite as good as we always thought or if he is going to be one of those players who ends up at clubs at completely the wrong time.

Bruce must be very close to the boot after that result

Brum don’t look too bad mind you. Similar set up to us teamwise. Lots of cast offs, veterans and loans but grinding out points

They’ll be their usual tricky selves, probably more down than up, but enough to stay up. As usual the Reading v Birmingham City fixture will be one to dread, some real stinker performances in there down the years from Reading.

Hull are really struggling.
Definitely ones to watch.

At what point do we want to see the likes of Sheff Utd and Norwich drop points instead of the likes of Huddersfield and Coventry?

Have West Brom already blown their chances? Don't look like a team who can turn it around to being auto promotion contenders.

It’s not even about them I just can’t see Sheff or Norwich not finishing autos. They’re just a class above.

Are Narch that good? Be interesting how we get on against them especially if we beat Huddersfield on the Saturday.

We'll have a better chance against Norwich if we lose 3-0 to Huddersfield.

No but I really don’t think this is a strong division this year

Until we hit 50pts we should be watching those behind us IMO.

Its never a strong division! In reality I think its an even division. The teams that came up are stronger than expected particularly Sunderland. The teams that came down are nothing special.

It's all up for grabs.

Seems particularly weak though

Last year had sheff u, wba with a core of prem players. Fulham and Bournemouth had ridiculous squads

Norwich are weaker than last time I’d think, don’t actually think sheff u are amazing either. Certainly a big step below Bournemouth and Fulham

Do agree that it’s probably a more even division than last time with the promoted clubs looking ok this time round

Yet look at the squads West Brom and Watford have got and they have barely won any games to date. Every year we hear the views the Championship is really weak. I don't think it is.

People seem to go by if there are 1 or 2 teams romping it then the league is good but if there are 15 or so clubs that are of a similar decent level then it is bad.

Give me the latter any day, when the only thing you can guarantee is the game starts 0-0.
