    Although in recent years the quality of football in the Championship has significantly improved it is still known for being a physical league.

    Fans expect to see their teams giving 110%. Players can really get the supporters on their side by sliding into crunching tackles and dominating aerial battles against their opposite number.

    There are many giant centre backs and imposing forwards in the Championship but who are the aerial masters in the league?

    Doesn't surprise me. He won everything as usual on Saturday. Superb player. Got to be worth a hell of a lot of money.

    5 million and Sunderland are after him in the summer if you belive the papers. Not a bad profit margin for a lad we got from Halifax town.

    I wouldn't let him go for that. Double it and start talking.

    Well it's gone up 1.5million from January as he was apparently off to burnley. Blackburn sold Duffy for 5 million was it? Similar age 5 million and we will probley crumble I'm afraid he only has 12months left on his contract.

    Hopefully the club will be looking to extend it and give ourselves a bit more bargaining power, but as usual, Roberts and his agent have to be agreeable to that.
