I think it comes from bitterness from elsewhere, and Cov fans putting ourselves down.
Or maybe we’ve just been the best team in a still very good league. We’ve licked our wounds from the P/O’s and have stepped up.

Except for Norwich there aren't any honking sides in this league, even Sheff Weds despite their troubles have fought hard in every game. The truth is that the Championship is one of the strongest leagues outside of Europe's big 4 and even then I think the best teams in it would be competitive in La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga.

People confusing competitive with poor.

Surely that argument would make more sense in season's like last season where for the most part the parachute clubs completely blew away the rest of the league?
It's proving to be one of the most competitive seasons the Championship has seen in years which surely is a good thing.

Adi needs to work on his fist pumps.
I do wonder if they would do well seeing if he'd take the job himself

Rob Edwards agrees Wolves contract on three-and-a-half-year deal after Middlesbrough compensation agreed
Edwards was granted permission to speak with Wolves on Saturday after being stood down as Middlesbrough manager; Edwards only joined Boro in June; Wolves announcement expected soon
£3-4m compensation...not bad

Handy war chest for Jan- you could get yourself either a Matt Grimes or Patson Daka's toenail clippings for that, depending on your preferred transfer strategy.Rob Edwards agrees Wolves contract on three-and-a-half-year deal after Middlesbrough compensation agreed

Adi doesn't sound like he's ruling it out:
Asked after if he’d have any interest in stepping up to be head coach, Viveash said: “The only thing I'm interested in at the minute is finishing this interview and going to have a glass of red wine. Today is about the players and supporters. Tomorrow, we'll wake up, it'll be another day, life moves on and that's a subject for the club and the powers that be"
“I'm grateful I was given the opportunity and I hope I took it in the right way. Thankfully we've given the fans a good day at the end of a difficult week. And I mean playing as well. We've had three tough games. There was a lot of tiredness anyway but it was a very, very important three points and that's the main thing.”

Wonder if Adi still lives near us? May influence his future especially if new manager wants his own staff. Adi has said he wants to be a number 2 in the past.

Wolves in talks to see which backroom staff they take from M'boro being reported on Sky.

Based on Adi's post match interview, it didn't sound like he was keen on leaving (he didn't dismiss taking over though, despite historically saying that didn't interest him).
He seems the loyal sort, but you never know of course.
If they paid him 10x his M'bro salary (like Edward's reported salary), he might be tempted.

Wouldn't we all.
Are Wolves planning for the Championship as automatics or genuinely trying to avoid, I'm not convinced particularly?

Well put it this way, no PL team on two points at this stage has ever stayed up.

Frank said Ellis is low maintenance, reckon he'd just pull out a spoon instead, a gun would bring too much attention on simmo

He was given a long time by Championship standards and fell short too many times. One of the favourites for the Norwich job it looks like

The malign influence of the PL on football fans. For a league to be considered good it must be won by only select teams who win it by miles. It must not, under any circumstances, be unpredictable.

What is their reasoning?
I can't see how any objective analysis can come to that conclusion.
Of course we might shit the bed, but I can't see how that would be anything other than unexpected.

I assume it’s to do some edgelording and provoke the usual suspects on Twitter for engagement. The underlying data don’t suggest over performance.

Don’t think it’s that mental of a take tbh. I think they are referring more to the short-term than over the season as a whole. The underlying data suggests we’re probably not quite as convincing as early season (which is an almost impossible pace to keep) and we’re heading into a particularly difficult month. Would be amazing if we did get to the turn of the year on 54 points but I ain’t holding my breath.
