was the Sunderland game on Sky or something ? less than 14K for a home game for them seems incredibly low
I’m almost certain that attendance is incorrect.

Sheff Utd losing, Norwich and Reading drawing, and of course Blackburn losing. I'd give tonight's footie a score of 10/10 myself! ;)

2 points per game the target and nobody is beating that now.

Never seen a league so there for the taking, not a reference to us just to how poor the league is.
Or you could say how good and competitive it is.

It should hopefully now be evident that this league is wide open and nobody is running away with it. Cardiff showing tonight they may not be the cloggers some were trying to portray them as, too.
I thought that Cardiff were one of the better teams that we've played this season, they were a threat from the wide area's.`

Don’t fancy our defence if Andy Carroll is playing for Reading.
You mean the 4th best defence in the Championship?

With Sheff Utd running away with the league and Norwich level with them does that mean nobody else can win automatic promotion ?

They've both got it absolutely in the bag. Clearly nobody else will get near them now. Simply a battle for 3rd from hereon in.

Last nights results were excellent and Sheff Utd have proved vulnerable with just one point from two home games. QPR have sneaked above us as a result but it does mean we can now close the gap on top, which is what we should be aiming at. My only slight worry, and this is just a hang over from the Dyche era really, is that historically when results have gone in our favour we have usually managed to fck it up when we play. Hopefully that won’t happen tonight and a decent result would have us tucked in right behind the top three.
Nice to see, at least temporarily, the wheels falling off the Sheff Utd charge. Hopefully we can go into the ridiculous WC break in top spot.

Surely a wind up post. SU have just taken one point from two home games. That doesn’t make anyone look like nailed on champs to me.

It really isn’t though, I think I was right in suggesting it is there for the taking.

We’ve been spoilt with seeing so many foreign players, first for others in the PL, now for us. The rest in this league just look lumbering and skill less (on average) with only the odd exception. Last night I saw a Rovers player fall over the ball, quite astonishing. They are top half.

We may prove not up to it, but if we do, Norwich and Watford will go back up. They both look limited though as they did last season, just a better limited than the rest in this league.

Surely a league where anyone can beat anyone else is more exciting than a 2 horse race?
I get what you are saying about the individual skills but I'm no purist, I enjoy the competition.

Bar ourselves of course I struggle to watch championship football on TV, standards are extremely low compared to the premier League. No wonder the promoted clubs struggle with Forest being an example, who will struggle to smash 25pts with there championship defenders
