Far more mediocre league than last season.
I know the points totals are close but 15th for us is a disgrace.

Anyone else feel that the post take over optimism is waning slightly? This is a poor division this year and is ripe for a team to take it by storm ...........Time for Purslow and NSWE to get their backsides into gear

I think we're just all waiting for them to make the decision Clive and then see who follows....dithering and giving SB until even xmas would be completely unacceptable imo.

Dithering is the perfect description. We're 15th, and I'd like to bet (without checking) that not many teams who are 15th after 10 games have been promoted.

It seems to be an average year this season, we've been awful but still within touching distance of the leaders. No outstanding team, which makes it all the more frustrating that we have this chancer in charge of our team and the most talented squad in the league.

The Leeds owner, Andrea Radrizzani, has called for a Premier League Two, saying the Championship does not make enough TV money for the division to be sustainable, which condemns its clubs to repeated crisis and takeovers.
I think the model of the Championship should be reconsidered, because the turnover of owners is not really a healthy system,” Radrizzani said at the Leaders Sport Business Summit in London. “It is not sustainable to stay in the Championship. This model, and also the small money they [the EFL] generate from TV rights, split between 72 clubs, maybe they need to reconsider, and consider another way, to create a Premier League Two or something else that can be sustainable.”
We should concede that a club like Leeds that is watched by 500,00 to 600,000 people live on Sky is getting from the league only £2m to £2.5m [TV income] and are actually penalised, because we are more than 20 times on TV. Maybe we should reconsider the system because it doesn’t work.”
It’s difficult to be in a league where we make losses because there is not enough income generated from media rights,” he said. “So I think all the clubs should open a discussion to see how we can change this league so it’s sustainable – and [so we] don’t have a crisis every two years with every club going bankrupt or changing ownership.”
The EFL responded to Radrizzani’s comments with a statement emphasising the improved TV deal worth £600m over five years from next season and the £4.6m “solidarity” payments to each Championship club from the Premier League. “The Championship remains one of the most competitive and unpredictable divisions in world football,” the statement said.

Sheffield Wednesday 1 Middlesboro 2
Have just watched the highlights goals and seen Adam Reach score another fabulous goal.
Boro looked to be better and there was some ridiculous defending by the Wednesday centre back absolutely shocking. I don't think even Villa faux centre halves have ever been that awful in passing across carelessly.
Boro sit top of the championship and are definitely a contender having looked at the squad they have a solid and organised set up and game plan with some quality players.
I would have them as a stayer for the top 2/ top 6 this season.

Boro a pragmatic team I feel and sit top of the league. They have spells of some decent play but overall yeah find under Tony Pulis it's all about the result.
Mo besic is a fine player and they have the best central defenders in the league.
Meaning they have best defensive record.
In championship today I think WBA will beat Wigan , Forest and Norwich , Derby and Sheffield United could be scoring draws but leaning to home teams in both .
Stoke v Birmingham I think a home win in the Gary Rowett derby .
Blackburn v Leeds could well be a draw.12pm kick off.
Brentford v Bristol city and
Hull Preston looks a goal scoring affair .
Rotherham I think could beat Bolton
Ipswich(QPR) and reading(Millwall) really need to win their home matches but don't think both will
Such an interesting round of league matches today
