Championship thread 25/26! (50 Viewers)

Some lovely details on the Sky highlights:

Lesta player shushing the home fans after the first goal

Half hearted chants of 'Come on Lesta' seconds before the first Saints goal

A solitary pathetic scream from the crowd as Begovic sets up the 2nd

The reaction of the Leicester fans behind the goal each time they concede is a highlight.
They were already booing at 3-3

Not like the Beeb to get something so wrong.

A reminder for us all

Thats the way it can go. Scoring after 60 seconds isn’t always down to great play, sloppiness and luck can play a part.

Against us defending was the priority. Against lower placed teams they have to give it a go. They will be more open.

Comparing the two games is like comparing apples and pears.

Birmingham owner has had a stroke, stepping away from the day to day running of the club for a while

They seem positive about his recovery so that's good to hear.

The argument of VAR in the Championship is rearing it's head again after the Brum WBA game last night

Really not sure how I feel, we would have had about 4 or 5 extra penalties with it this season but I still can't bring myself to say I want it

I think it lessens the game of football as a whole.

It just shifts the area of contention, and removes the spontaneity from the game. That spontaneity is a big part of what makes football by far the best sport on the planet.

 

[Ricketts]

Definitely not.

I prefer human error to not being able to celebrate a goal until some dweebs in a shed have pored over each frame.

Southampton's next 3 league games look a doddle. Can easily see them in the play offs.

They could make the playoffs obviously, but it won't be easy for them. They will probably need 72 this year for playoffs, that's 26 points from 14 games.
There are 3 teams below them having played a game less, who could push them into the bottom half of the table.
