Championship Season 25-26

[StHelensRover]

I'm sure there was a season more recently than that where they were both in third tier, maybe around 2012/13?

[LDRover]

That 'performance' from Ben Godfrey for Sheff Utd was so bad it rivalled Shane Duffy at Cardiff and Dom Hyam at Bristol.

[Norbert Rassragr]

The city of Sheffield might save us from relegation.

Oxford leading against 10 man Leicester is far from ideal

Thankfully its now 2-2.

[StHelensRover]

North End with what will surely be a late winner.

If they hang on they will have beaten Leicester, Ipswich and Boro at Deepdale already this season. Heckingbottom turning things round?

[StHelensRover]

Three reasonable results so far.

How long before Sheff Utd, Wrexham and Birmingham all change their managers? 

All 3 performing way below expectations, surely?

given the amount of new players both Birmingham and Wrexham need to allow time to settle their new players in 

Sheffield United owners are too blame for sacking Wilder but also for signings

Suspect Birmingham and Wrexham will give them both time. Sheff United on the other hand, I don't think anyone would be surprised if Selles was given the boot this week.

I think both Birmingham and Wrexham will have expected better starts than what they've had. Birmingham in particular will have had an eye promotion, don't think they'll leave it much longer if results don't pick up. Neither will be getting sacked just yet, as both have a lot of credit in the bank but one to keep an eye on for sure.

Sheff Utd can only be a couple of losses away at best, before they bin Selles.

I can understand where you are coming from regard Birmingham and Wrexham but given the amount of new players signed, allowing them to get use to new manager and tactics/formation surely you allow some settling in time. Maybe judge move crucial after another 10 to 12 games? 

On Sheffield United situation, its just been a mess since sacking Wilder which was a mistake

[roversfan99]

For Wrexham in particular, it almost feels like a totally new team.

With Parkinson's track record at this level, I do wonder considering that they have built a team of good Championship players, whether you just would be ruthless not based on what Parkinson deserves as it would feel unjust, but you make a tough managerial decision with similar ambition that they have shown signing players to try and get the best from them.

If you arent convinced now but wait and see, you could be wasting time and leaving it too late to have a real push higher up.

Im unsure if their owners will do that. They are seemingly incredibly ambitious and invested but they also seem really loyal.

I'd rather go to away games than home ones.

[yellowsubmarine]

Miss them both. Maybe it's just me.

Probably in the next 4-5 games.

I don't think any of them will come in for VI like Derby did for JE last year.

Hyam an unused substitute in Wrexham’s defeat

Made 12/13 new signings this summer.

Has Parkinson ever achieved 3 promotion in 3 seasons before he joined Wrexham? 

His Bolton team didnt have the type of quality due to his low budget there.

Why would you sack him after just backing him with signings and money spent? Surely you back and let him integrate these new players into the team?

You would expected plenty of loyal given Parkinson achieved 3 promotions in 3 season

[RevidgeBlue]

Don't think either Birmingham or Wrexham will hang onto their managers if results dont pick up. They're in it to be successful not to be sentimental.

It was obvious from the Birmingham documentary that Wagner and Brady think the world of Chris Davies, but, they are focused on getting to the Premier League and if they dont think he's the man for it, they'll probably drop him without a second thought.

Parkinson- if results dont improve - why would anyone keep him? He's no track record at this level.

Wilder returning to Bramall Lane , you cannot script football !

[philipl]

If you'd offered me Rovers sandwiched between Ipswich and Southampton after 5 games at the start of the season...

[rovers11]

An early assessment of the season so far is that the majority of our new signings are pretty good and more than capable at this level.

We are not as bad as we think and look to be on course for a mid table finish. 

Lots of dross in this league and certainly looks to be 3 worse teams than us. 

Goals and creativity remain a concern so scoring the first goal in games will be crucial.

It is looking there is a lot of dross in the league , when are Sheffield Wednesday going to get a points deduction ?
