    Agree. Poor today but we are in a good place overall.

    We are lucky it's the worst quality championship in years so despite our really poor form we aren't losing ground.

    To be fair, that narrative gets touted every season.

    Hard to argue against this year. Almost every team in the division has a weaker team than last season, and the ones that came up aren’t up to much.

    Coincidently, it crops up every time the club has a bit of success. If we win promotion, finish higher in the league table than expected, or go on a good run, someone somewhere will claim that the quality of the division we're playing in is somehow poorer than it's ever been.:D

    It's funny how some people just can't praise their own football team sometimes isn't it? :)

    Someone posted on here that we were lucky to win promotion from Division 1 in 2019 and we only did so because it was the poorest Division ever and Portsmouth & Sunderland 'bottled' it!:D

    Some on here don't realise how good professional sportmen are. Was at Elland Road a few years ago watching us on the 2nd row back very close to the play and was amazed how fast the game was and how good the players were.

    I'll be more than happy if we finish in the top half and hopefully kick on from there
    next season.

    A philosophy which could pretty much be applied to anything.? My jokes have certainly improved this last year, not my fault they go over most average heads.
    Don’t know why I bother sometimes..:)

    We might all think that we can play football reasonably well, but professional players are so far ahead of most of us it's ridiculous. I've written on here before about my mate who I played together with at school. He was crazily good. Nobody could get the ball off him. He could pick a pass from anywhere on their field, seemingly without looking, and some of the tricks he did when we were warming up looked like the ones the BBC show close ups of the Brazil players doing before World Cup matches. I remember once him doing all manner of skills with his back to goal, before suddenly swiveling and volleying the ball goalwards, only for it to cannon off the bar. He was standing in near the halfway line. The sum total of my mate's professional football career was two substitute appearances for Mansfield Town, before being released. So it goes without saying that people who play regularly in the Championship are by and large insanely good at football, to a level which is difficult for most of us to comprehend.

    Perhaps our so-called ‘poor form’ isn’t affecting us as much because of our previous good form.

    This season it's true though up against a team who got promoted finishing seventh, one that doesn't play in their own ground and another who started with a points deduction. No side will walk promotion this time as no team stands out that much. Next season will be much tougher with the extra local derbies with the Blunts, yoyo club WBA and some recent championship clubs likely to come back up from league one.

    People thought this season’s Championship would’ve been tougher. Norwich are a yo-yo club as well. We’ll be an even tougher nut to crack as well

    Hope so fella. This season will be an improvement on last season and so next season we will hopefully build on that.

    Not much to fear from the 3 sides likely to come up from league 1 imo, watching them on Quest.
