    I don't know how reliable this website is, but they say Luton will get their second year parachute payment plus a further 4.5M solidarity payment https://eflanalysis.com/news/why-luton-town-being-relegated-to-league-one-will-cost-the-premier-league-4-5m/

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I'm puzzled why people are so worried about Moore. OK he scored 5 premier league goals a couple of seasons ago but he is historically a 1 in 4 scorer at this level. And since his 20 goals for Cardiff in 20/21 his best season total is 7

    If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted

    After the Crew game we took 10 points from the next 16 games, this could be termed as a catastrophic collapse. Our only 2 wins in that run were against Bury and Blackpool. From memory we were very reliant on Reda Johnson who suffered numerous injuries, and later Ben Turner on Loan who also got a...

    Tracking against 24/25 top 6

    I think Sunderland settled for playoffs quite a way before the season ended precisely because of that. They looked very ordinary when we played them in the league.

    I'm not sure what some people on here expect. We haven't got a god given right to trounce every team 5,6,7 nil. I have said before we are every team's cup final now and sometimes we will have to win ugly, grind out results. AND we will lose some games, possibly from winning positions. Watford...

    He will come back, does it matter when we are averaging almost 3 goals a game?

    The BBC report: The visitors did pull one back from the penalty spot on 68 minutes via Imran Louza but Coventry coasted to a sixth win on the trot to extend their lead to four points at the top of the table before the afternoon kick-offs.

    I would be interested to know what midfield we should have played given our availability.

    It feels a bit like last year's run of 9 out of 10. Some of those games we could easily have lost and we didn't play well in all of them. Sometimes it just goes like that. 6 wins on the bounce, averaging 3 goals a game, won the most games in the league with only Middlesbro being able to equal...

    Currently 7 points ahead of 3rd. Only Millwall and Bristol can close that gap and they both have tough games

    But it took a run of something like 27 points from a possible 30 from memory. It can be done but that sort of run won't be achieved from a lower team often.

    Jury is still out on them. So far they have beaten Watford, Blackburn, and Oxford, they have lost all the rest. Those results, 2 of which were 1-0 don't immediately shout top 6

    The very big question

    These things generally tend to sort themselves out, we will get more injuries, hopefully the timing allows us to keep playing a winning team, and not worry too much who to leave out

    Something nice about this run...

    Most teams that do what we are doing without the massive parachute money achieve it with cynical football, a bit like a good version of Norwich, but we are so far, achieving it with entertaining and attractive football. That will always win over the neutrals

    Points needed

    Boxing day against Swansea is game 23, half way through. After Watford & Sheff U, most of our games until then are against teams currently in or around the top 6, the only ones that aren't are Ipswich and Southampton. So a very difficult run of games. But even looking at it pessimistically I can...
