Championship Season 25-26

I'd be surprised if it actually happens. Maybe I'll be shown to be wrong but suspect this is as much a publicity stunt as anything. 

It gets their owners all over the news and loads of positive PR, wins people over. The cringeworthy media videos with Brady, Bellingham and Peaky Blinders. Yuck.

But actually getting it done - shovels in the ground and chimneys built - takes a lot more than big talk and famous faces doing videos.

Again might be wrong but I'd be amazed if they or anyone else were coughing up £3 billion or whatever it will be to build this in a derelict corner of Birmingham whilst they are a Championship club struggling to fill a 30k stadium. If/when they get to the PL maybe a different matter.

Eustace seemed to enjoy beating us.

I don't think he's that arsed about us, he has no connection beyond managing us for almost a year, I don't think it's that deep for him. Like many he probably saw us as a stepping stone, it's just that on this occasion he made a sideways (at the time a step down) away from us which was galling for us, I don't think it keeps him awake at night. Out moronic owners keep me awake though.

It's probably the satisfaction that came from the performance. They completely mugged us off in that game, it was the perfect away performance. Any manager would want to hang their hat on it. They've barely won any matches, so not surprising it stood out.

You would expect him to take great pleasure in beating us. Beating a club (ie owners and management) that massively let him down and a fanbase of which a big chunk has given him lots of stick in the 2 games since he moved.

Southampton 4-0 up away at. Charlton.

4 goals in 8 mins 😲 Think they may stick with the guy in caretaker charge, he's really turned them round

West Brom two up at Coventry and deservedly so.

Charlton's response was to sub JRC on.

7 games before Christmas, 5 of them at home - not sure if that’s a good thing this season 😂

5 of the 7 are also bottom half sides, 4 of them below us in the table - again not sure if that’s a good thing this season!!

Either way, I think it’ll be an interesting month for us, we have a really good chance to push on to the edge of the playoffs - we’d be set in 11th if the Ipswich result held, and beaten all 3 relegated teams.

7 games in 22 days though including yesterday, the squad can’t take many more injuries!

3-2 Coventry now.

WBA had a man sent off which completely turned the game on its head.
