How are we getting on, compared to previous Championship winners.

The title of this thread bothers me.  It reads as if winning The Championship is just  formality and that is just a big fat invitation for the universe to kick us up our complacent arses.

Don't get me wrong, Leicester are great.. buy the universe doesn't really give a sh#t about us! 😄

Leeds are the team that worry me the most from the teams currently chasing the top two. They haven't been that consistent yet but I think they are capable of stringing a 9/10 game winning run. When Farke was Norwich manager during the twi seasons where they won the championship they went on some serious winning runs. In my opinion he has a better squad now than he did on either of those occasions. 

I don't care a farke about Leeds!!

Having watched Sunderland and Middlesborough, if we're at our best I really don't think we have a great deal to worry about. Obviously off nights, injuries, tiredness can all have an effect. As far as I can see though, there's not one team that comes close to matching us though. In terms of squad and manager, the combination is the best that this league will likely ever see.

 

I really do hope we go and set new records across the board, we really have the capability of doing so. I have every faith that Enzo won't let standards slip and will take things on a game by game basis. If he does that and the players respond, when we come to look back on the season at the end, the result could be sensational.

 

Take Mads, Ricardo, Winks, Jannick, KDH, Mavidi out the side long term and we may start to struggle

 

I really believe Enzo target,no matter the results,is to create a squad,where we can take hits in 3-4 major positions, but still come home with the swag.

Winks could be the position most the fans will fear most  has a longer outage..

Though we have seen all other positions in tactic and staff to be well covered

Winks position is probably the one Enzo & obviously the fans, would like the quandary to be answered or tested,before we go too much further into the season.

 

The most positive points,IMO we seem to have a squad,that is willing to be involved and take on those little twists and tweaks of position responsibility.

There is so far despite early willing changes ( Enzo planned experiments) no real weak 1st position, cover or fringe..players. Even though we have created rekindled some players responsibilities.
Plus we have Mcateer to return later, time for Coady & being able to slowly nurse him back into the playing side ( if needed) plus 2-4 Academy players who could well be introduced,and no concern that they will  take us down a gear or two..

 

Fans recognising that we will have hiccups along the way,but like big kids want to see how often & long we can mark ( positive arrogance ) up 3 points through the season.

We are simply happy to be back in the game again,& with confidence but not necessary with an over confident swagger..

 

Many couldn’t dream of such a free & easy relaxed position after last season & end of summer…Though there will always be those who love to spread the sh*t & doubt.

Update … we’re currently at a run rate for 127 points and the best goal difference the league has ever seen. It’ll be amazing if we can keep this up. 
 

The transformation in our defence is key. We’ll have the best defence this league has ever seen if we carry on like this.

We’ll win this division at a canter. I can see it being over by March time.

The standard of the Championship is quite shocking tbf.

Update time! 
 

Both Ipswich and ourselves, still on target to surpass the past 20 odd years!

[Tommy G]

Can this be updated?

[hackneyfox]

Probably 

[Yes N'Didi]

 

On track for 113.6 at current points per game.

Edited 27 November 2023 by Yes N'Didi

[fuchsntf]

The system so far is holding its promise..

Winks position important but not pivotal..

The system allows for hiccups,&  so far short form drops

seems to be of little importance…BUT only 17 games from 46,no statistics

take in those illogical sporting twists that any sport might serve up..

Doyle,Coady,Winks Ricardo ticked off as not SPOF…The squad so far is our strength

within Enzo-system .

Fans own first major warnings have not been proved to have any substance.

So our season after some hiccups & hits runs freely into the next phase.

which I suggest is from now upto start of festive season..before Ipswich..

[Fox92]

But how are best team in the league Leeds getting on?

 

 

[BenTheFox]

The championship table after round 17 last season. We have ten points more than Burnley at this stage!

 

Leeds and Southampton would usually be the top 2 with their respective points returns. The fact that we have 42 points and there is a tean within 3 points of us us incredible. Got to give Ipswich a lot of credit. 

[Sly]

I realised I’d not done this after the last few games, as our exciting style had football had most likely put me to sleep. 

 

Anyhow, both Ipswich and ourselves are still setting a phenomenal pace and will average above Readings record championship points total is we carry on at this average points per game.

 

Our goals for is a similar average to the last time we got promoted, however our games against is still very, very good, amongst the best we’ve ever seen in this league. Only the Sunderland team of 98/99 had a better average goal difference for goals against. 
 

Ipswich are conceding lots of goals on average and that isn’t sustainable.
