Shocks galore in a WILD Championship weekend!

[@aconiteuniverse]

Im a Norwich fan and yet I love all the teams in the Championship for keeping football alive and well for entertainment...Brilliant weekend of crazy results.

[@FalseNi9e]

Best league in the world

Prestons new signings have made a massive difference, well balanced now hitting form, if this continues playoff chance

[@alansmith1989]

On Monday, it is the `Immovable Object` (Burnley defence) meets the `Irresistible force` (Leeds attack) Which will prevail?

Must’ve been watching different game to me

[@mrmoore7926]

Exactly right, I’m a hull fan and we were brilliant. No one has been able to do that to you this season and there is a reason for that. We never get the credit we deserve

[@Theprecinctpub]

The only supporters that don't believe that Leeds united will get promoted are Leeds supporters.

[@Donjames-fl2yd]

Not true I've been confident of top 2 finish right from the start

[@JM_Karting02]

We know better than to be confident

[@craigambler3282]

I watched Leeds first in 1968 when I was five. Since then we have never won anything easily, and indeed lost many cups etc we should have one. Never easy. Once we are sure I will be happy. Until then very nervous.

[@Thunderlips-88]

When the refs will do everything in their power to keep Leeds and their levy in the EFL the only way is to smoke the league.. starting tomorrow

You are SO good on the Championship 👏🏻

[@LiamK2292]

Nothing shocks me in the Championship Ben, this is the league that keeps on giving. Great win for us at QPR, second half performance in particular was superb. Gap closed to 3 points with some decent games coming up, we're firmly in this play off race.

[@Killa026]

Great weekend Ben if my team Leeds can capitalise on Monday night the first gap of the season opens up 😃 but if we don’t at least we have one of our hardest fixtures of the season out of the way with the rivals still in the rear view mirror

[@joshxmo]

Love your work Ben

[@johnclarkson-os8hz]

dad took me to my first game at Elland road age 6 1964/65 season we beat Burnley 5-1 60 years ago this year cant believe it, just 1-0 will do this time, MOT LUFC

[@FalseNi9e]

Preston impressed me playing Boro

[@lukebattennn]

The biggest praise I can give Lampard since he’s come in is how much better we are at the back, Under Robins we conceded almost every shot against us.

[@FalseNi9e]

Lampard proved me wrong I'll admit it

[@alexanderthorne635]

A few takes for conversation if anyone is interested: 1. Stoke will be one of the three relegated teams. Very little about their team, no particular direction or player quality 2. Preston for a sneaky playoff charge. Quietly performing well and winning games 3. Middlesborough to fall away into mid table. Aside from a few weeks of high scoring wins back in October/November, they`ve been quite flakey all season

[@alansmith1989]

I think that Derby look far more likely to go down than Stoke.

[@snacks1184]

As an Oxford fan I agree with the inconsistencies of all the teams in the Championship. I can see any team pushing for top six but any tesm being in the bottom three. I am hoping we are not in the bottom three, our form is brilliant but it is not enough to stay up, yet.

[@joebramley3309]

Sheff u were terrible on Friday night but had a perfectly good goal disallowed. Bit of a freak result, but we move on with more players back from injury and new signings.

[@garyhillman4993]

Crap fans blades fans. They all left at half time went home to change their nappies. Wednesday fans would never do that they d of stayed until the death Two total different sets of fans there for sure

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

Yes, hopefully new signings have time to blend, and get these injuries cleared up. No midweek madness until mid Feb.

[@paulmilner8452]

blades acting like bad decisions dont happen, we had a penalty against blackburn and preston not given both stonewall we drew 1-1 and lost 1-0 .....

[@kelvinengland3991]

​@@garyhillman4993 I agree. And I am a Leeds fan no allegiance to Wednesday but they definitely have the better set of fans.

[@GlimpseHC]

Mauled by the tigers 🐯

[@NeilHarding-ne1mh]

No team is up and no team is down....There's still 18 games for some teams...17 for others. That's 17x90 mins = 1,530 minutes of football. Plus several 6 pointers....Loads of time to go on a run, either winning or losing. Give it to middle of April. My lot HCAFC could still make the play-offs. Unlikely, but I recall Crystal Palace going up from nowhere.

[@dcfcwill23]

Derby look set to lose Eiran Cashin before the end of the window which will be a massive blow with 2 other centre backs already out, but our new striker looks very good and if we get 3-4 in before the window shuts we might just about scrape another season in the championship, otherwise it’s looking like another league 1 tour

[@markmurphy3578]

As usual, some of the results are way off what someone would be expecting. Coventry’s upward trajectory has been impressive. Frank gets a lot of stick, but they have a decent squad and possibly a good chance of moving into the top 6. WBA are looking so much more productive now and maybe it’s Middlesbrough that are looking too flaky to keep up with the playoffs pace. You can’t say that Luton are free falling, because they haven’t really got started at all. I think Millwall might have given them their first win of the season and I don’t think that anyone would have been surprised if they were able to do the double considering millwall’s injury situation. I think it just goes to show how poorly Luton are performing. Plymouth really look down, despite a good result at the weekend. The Whittaker situation is not what they needed at the moment. Maybe they are better off with him gone. The 3rd spot is still up for grabs and the rollercoaster ride could go on until the last game of the season. Great content as ever

[@vinny2242]

Norwich we are so frustrating at times but result was flattering we didn't play that well and Swansea well There defending shocking but this may kick start our push 🤞🤞🤞think personally we will just miss out on play offs

[@geoffpoole483]

Listened to Chris Goreham's commentary. The first half was nothing to write home about but Sargent had an excellent game.

[@jabbamiles]

Agree some very poor moments in the first half, then we finally started pressing them and they fell apart. 🟨🟩

[@vinny2242]

Yeah totally first half was dire

[@GaryEvans-i5t]

🎉🎉🎉 good luck

[@andymackintosh3396]

Leeds to kick on and do it this year, with Burnley in autos. Boro, west brom to join blades and Sunderland in playoffs. Might get a few laughs for that.

[@garyhillman4993]

Sunderland 4 th

[@kelvinengland3991]

Seems sensible to me

[@Blade4Life76]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dylanobrien97]

Boro Fan here you are bang on I call us the Tottenham Hotspur of the championship and so frustrating also how we had games we drew over the season that should be 3 points Norwich away as well as Sheffield Wednesday at home were a liability and our Defence is shocking and a shambles for professional players on thousands of pounds a week

[@jimwest7107]

Wednesday are just short of what they need, I worry the 3pt gap will just constantly be back in place. Few soft home draws and missing a couple of better players. Mid-table a decent season though.

[@davdljd]

Anything could happen, fancy Leeds & Burnley top 2 and can't get over feeling Wednesday nick 6th place and blades finish 3rd. Would make playoffs interesting 🤣

[@GaryHoyle-p6i]

We can't predict anything until the final week it's so crazy interesting championship

[@derrickwright3810]

Leeds have been fevs all season Ben,1/16 to be promoted last I looked

[@moze2324]

Sunderland did fail to take advantage but they have been fantastic this season. boros defence is so leaky, bristol city will end up finishing mid table as they always do 😅

[@BielsasKnee]

Luton. No words for it. -BK

[@alexanderthorne635]

Also, regarding terrible away records* Wednesday are picking up a lot of wins away from home this season, which is much against our usual pattern. If we had an owner who would actually give the manager some proper backing we would be a serious top six challenger

Owls have best young manager if they gave him ten million he would get them into the playoffs

[@marklennon4664]

Just dawned on me the Ben isn't doing the - keep an eye on the 3 promoted teams this season. Is this because the 3 going up in the last 2 yrs have been so bad. I bet he puts it back on if Leeds go up! 🤔

[@jimbob3296]

Not sure why Sunderland picked an ultra defensive team at home to Plymouth, they picked a more attacking team away to burnley. Le Bris has been excellent so far but no one seen that team selection coming.

[@dunwin1]

Cov fan here, dont talk about us getting to playoffS, OK? Project Lampard is supposed to be doing it under the radar, no one is supposed to notice till we're right up there. Aside from that se have Swansea away (never seem to beat them) and Leeds at home (stuffed us 3-0 at their place and look nailed on for automatic IMO). No more of this Cov in the playoff stuff (?), ok Ben. 🤫

[@kelvinengland3991]

Lampard will screw it up. He is shocking.

[@dunwin1]

​@@kelvinengland3991seven unbeaten at home, more clean sheets since he came in, 9 point week including away win at Blackburn. If that's screwing it up I will take it.

[@kelvinengland3991]

@@dunwin1 give him time. He always starts strong. Probably players respecting him from his playing days and putting in extra graft to impress him. When they have a couple of bad results he will instantly throw players under the bus in interviews and he takes zero responsibility for anything that goes wrong, players will lose respect for him and get pissed off with him and then realise he is tactically inept. He's never taken a group of players and improved that team long term. His Derby team was incredible for the championship at the time and they performed way under where they should have been. Trust me. It's been the same story wherever he has been. Wait until adversity strikes and he starts blaming everyone and everything but himself. It soon turns sour.

[@ianoo23]

There’ll be more shock results for all 4 of the top 4 I’m sure- none are so good they’ll win every remaining game, all susceptible to a draw where they should win and none are completely unbeatable when they’re facing teams fighting for something lower in the table whether that be play offs or relegation! Leeds are best placed to use their squad and get a big gap between them and 2nd but I think it may be a 1-1 draw against Burnley on Monday! It can all change in 2 results if anyone takes their eye off the ball like Sunderland and Sheff Utd just did in one game! It’s about how they bounce back after a blip! Still too close to call for 1st and 2nd and nobody should count their chickens just yet!

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

Thats enough excitement for one weekend. A bore draw will do on monday, maybe a few red cards to liven things up.

[@ronaldgoddard9733]

No shocks at Luton…. Sadly

[@GaryHoyle-p6i]

So much pressure on Leeds tonight

[@DaveBoz]

Even more pressure on tomorrow night

[@christophercampbell4272]

Let’s talk about Millwall at least they won it absolutely frustrating with our injuries is ridiculous they need to give us something our situation at the moment it’s absolutely lacking we are so worried about this losing all of the key players Alex Neil should be doing they need to rebuild their squad for next season I know it’s shocking but get the perfect playing style and I can’t see it happening this season bad form from last week what do you expect this week great win against Luton Town we so courage to our team we got no confidence in their team the pressure is on even our key players still injured we are very worried this not good enough for us this season we are doomed

[@harribo_starmux]

Because of both Sheff Utd & Sunderland dropping points, a Burnley-Leeds draw would not now be as bad.

Pompey deliberately threw yesterday's away game at WBA. I felt sorry for the travelling supporters. That was a bit of a joke.

No just 3 pl teams that get relegated

[@WhiteHartDane]

I don't think they do. In any case I've never heard of that.

[@garethloosemore9250]

I get what u r asking, as the payments are over 3 years, will they still get them if they drop down to league 1 ?

[@johnshores6061]

Yeah I wasn't clear if Luton go down will they still receive premier league payments

[@EnglishMike]

@@johnshores6061 Luton will get a second Premier League parachute payment even if they are relegated this season. But since they were only in the PL for one season there will be no third payment. So while it means they will likely have the money to bounce back into the Championship they will still have squandered their last big payout and have to get back into the Premier League the hard way.

[@petercoles373]

Mate, ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY PREDICTABLE from SAFC! Any fan of many years could have predicted us ballsing it up when given a massive opportunity. Absolutely PATHETIC selection and tactical decisions by the Manager. Pattison is massively overrated and NEVER commands his box or shouts at his defenders. 1 from 6 against the WORST side in the league is disgraceful. NO EXCUSES!!!

[@alexforrest4551]

I think if Danny rolh can get a few players in Wednesday can get top 6 . Not sure we will hang on to Danny next season but will can enjoy the now . I did say preseason watch out for the owls . Last few days of January are so important now

[@robchissy]

I really hope Luton go down, any team named after a van should go down!, but as a Sunderland fan, I want Leeds to beat Burnley, it's our only hope of making top 2 or it's the play off's, if our players start thinking, ok we can't make top 2 and we are guaranteed the play offs, then they stop playing hardband just go through the motions, then once we are into the play off games it's hard to get them going again

[@Ghengiskhansmum]

I hope Leeds and Sunderland go up together. Both have genuine and historical passionate support. The fans deserve it.

[@MikeGeorge-li1yb]

Ben, as you know I am Millwall...and whilst I agree that our form since Neil Harris left has not been good, there is a reason. Bomber left us with a hell of a legacy; namely an inury list that looks like the team he put out when we were nearing the top end of the table! Lucas Jensen, Danny Macnamara, Ryan Leonard, Femi Azeez, Aidemo Emahku, Josh Coburn, Daniel Kelly, McCauley Langstafff, Ryan Wintle, Adam Mayor and Callum Scanlon...all injured! It's a miracle to even have 11 fit players to take the pitch at the moment and we must travel to pompey on Tuesday night, where anything but 3 points will render our win at Luton more or less meaningless. On the bright side...we looked far more likely in the second half at Kennilworth road, and to be fair, Luton were that poor, they could still be out there now, banging away and wouldn't score!
