Championship Thread - 2022/23

[SebastianBlue]

Teams still in the mix for the promotion playoff:

5	Coventry City	45	12	69
6	Millwall	45	8	68
7	Sunderland	45	10	66
8	West Bromwich Albion	45	7	66
9	Blackburn Rovers	44	-3	65

Blackburn play Luton (who are already locked for the playoff) today with the chance to move in to 7th going in to the final day when they also play Millwall, which could be a decider!

Imagine Luton Town playing in the PL!

Predictions?

I’d rather anyone of Luton, Boro, Blackburn, West Brom, Coventry, or Sunderland making it up over Millwall, with my preference being the Black Cats for obvious reasons.

————————————

@David El Mago Silva can we get a poll for which team we think will win promotion once the playoff field is locked?

Sunderlad for me too, although the masochist in me would like see what happens if Millwall went up, South East Asian tourists wouldn't know what's hit them :)

Aybody watching the Blackburn/Luton game?

Whilst advertising the Leicester/Everton game commentator said something along the lines of "both these teams could be in the championship next season" to wich Hinchliffe replied "I'd like to see one of them in the Championship"

Everton? I know Kendall got rid of him to us after selling him Originally from City. As discussed on here before he doesn't seem to have a love for any of his former clubs.

I'm watching it. Bobbins so far.

Not the best is it, although if points were scored for everytime a shot was blocked it would be about 10-5 :)

I am. Both sides look very average and nowhere near good enough for the PL. Not sure if either would have money for a big Summer spend but if one of them does go up, they'd need to spend plenty based on what I've seen so far.

Yeah, especially Luton, ironically. If they manage to win the playoff I reckon they may give Derby County a run for the record books.

Unfortunately, I am. Considering Luton are in the playoffs, and Blackburn are trying to get into them, the quality on display is pretty shite. If either of these two get promoted, they'll be nailed on to come straight back down.


As I speak, er, type, Luton take the lead

 

[SebastianBlue]

Seems the occasion may have gotten to the Blackburn players.

They’re going to bits whenever they get the ball in the Luton third.

They don't look like scoring.

Good news for the Mackams, Blackburn 1 down.
