Championship Season 25-26

[arbitro]

The Birmingham v Ipswich game contained one real ingredient that can make for a successful Championship season - the intensity you play at. I thought it was relentless and significantly several players from Birmingham were suffering from cramp from 75 minutes. 

Two big decisions went against Birmingham too. It's difficult to categorically way they were wrong but both, I thought were extremely harsh. Kyogo looks a real player.

I really thought Ipswich were favourites in paper but I saw a few chinks in their armour last night and this season could be a really open one in the Championship.

Ipswich wasn't at their best and they need some quality signings but Szmodics should have scored with that chance first half. 

Birmingham were expected what I expect given we witness this last season

But its great that proper football is back now.

Wrexham should been ahead at St's Mary Stadium

Southampton have a literal giant at centre half. That Quarshie bloke is a monster!

Also, Wrexham hit the bar!

Southampton look quite nervy. I suppose its unsurprising given how their confidence will have been shot to pieces after last season.

Penalty Wrexham!

Same as last night player feels a hand on his back and dives. Technically a foul.

I just don't like seeing it

Definitely the case.

Wrexham a team thats been on the up, Southampton a team that's been in the down and it shows in both performances.

Southampton started brightly but faded very quickly. Wrexham really got into the game and have had much of thr better of it.

Side note, gutted we never landed O'brien. Looks a player.

Ref has stopped play in Wrexham game for player getting hit by ball in the groin. 

This a new rule?

Sounds like bollocks to me.

Ipswich made a mistake last year and bought a really good Championship team rather than PL players.

They'll be there for the taking some weeks as although they're very good and have depth, they're still Championship players and prone to the same mistakes as the rest in this division.

That's why we didn't get him!
