How good is the championship this season?

Watford - 2nd best team we've played this season?

Very poor,any team hits some consistency will go up

Yet another poor side, Rotherham. Over reliant on their own Smudger Smith for hit and hope punts.

I was going to say that was our best performance of the season, until Warbs ballsed it all up with those dreadful subs, leading to our 2nd half collapse. Very lucky to take all 3 in the end.

Was not overly impressed by Brentford especially first half and thought we were the better side but for 20/25 minutes in the 2nd half.

was going ask that question on match thread have we improved or have they gone backwards as yesterday was an even contest and that don’t often happen versus them

I think we have improved overall, despite the loss of Eze. Brentford still look a strong side to me; don't think they have significantly regressed.

I think this season is a time of consolidation, getting the core of the team/squad bedded in, playing regularly and getting familiar with each other. The spine of the team is beginning to take shape.
Gk - Dieng, looks good to me, Kelly as a decent backup

Back 4 is the weakest area in the team/squad, although to be fair they’re nearly all pretty young and inexperienced players. A couple of good experienced defenders needed to be added to the squad to shore up the defence, increase competition and help the development of the younger players.

Midfield starting to look good, was quite impressed with their possession and intent yesterday, thought Ball and Carroll were good yesterday. Chair, BOS and Willock were very good 1st half, beginning to look fluid and dangerous going forward, harried opposition, worked very hard. Probably ran out of steam a little in the 2nd half, and found it harder with the formation change from Brentford, which itself tells you that Brentford were struggling in the middle of the park. I’d like to see another attacking midfield centre added to the squad to compete with Chair, at some point. But we now seem to have found the right combination along the attacking midfield 3. BOS-right Chair-centre Willock-Left
Again would be good to have someone competing directly with Willock in the squad in the future.
If BOS leaves I don’t think it’ll be as devastating as some think, there are other attacking right-sided midfielders out there who maybe not as gifted/talented as BOS, but are as effective, and maybe even more effective than BOS in regards to helping the team win football matches.

Up front Dykes seems to be bedding in and starting to look like a goal threat as well as a provider and focal point. I’d like to see 1 more CF added, I think the Club needs 3 CF for the amount of games in the season.
The team/squad is beginning to take shape and I think it is also showing who needs replaced / let go, and where a player or two needs added. Alongside working on certain areas of the game, set pieces both defending and attacking, the basis of a good team is almost already there, keep progressing and QPR could be a threat next season,

Its better than we are.

I think of consolidation as a lack of ambition..most teams going into a higher league look to consolidate.

Lots of crap teams in this league this season and our results should be an awful lot better than they currently are.

Warburton is a more offensive version of Steve Mc as both start well at clubs then get found out before being sacked. I think we should be looking at potential replacements now.

No regard at all for the defensive side of the game. 😣

For as pants as we were I'd put Huddersfield in the top 3 sides we've played this season. Unusually we were completely outplayed BOTH halves.
