Where have the Leicester gone from before Xmas , they were far superior to any thing else in the championship, not been hampered by injuries either , they look very mediocre recently, I think even we could beat them ( oh hang on we did )

It’s a hard choice who you want to go up out the three tbh,2 are cheats and the other one has Ashton involved 

You're right there. But it's a good that they're all flip flopping around and having blips.

It will be very interesting to see how the third placed team does in the playoffs. They'll be going into them sooooo disappointed.

So did Millwall for that matter.

Ipswich Norwich 2 leg playoff semi would be fun

I've noticed a few Ipswich fans getting nervous at the prospect. If they finished with a record points total to miss out on auto promotion and then got done by Norwich in the playoffs I'm not sure they'd ever get over it.

As KK would say, ' I'd love it '

Before Christmas, Leicester beat teams on reputation.

Then everyone realised they weren't that good.

Funny how their manager hasn't been shortlisted for Championship Manager of the Season - a Sunday League manager would have been expected to get this squad promoted. The bloke's a fraud!

Leicester are cheats from an FFP angle, Leeds not from that one, Ashton nuff said.

Any chance Southampton could win the last however many and charge in it?

I guess they took the gas off the peddle when they thought they'd already won the league. Then before they realised what's happening they're panicking a bit in a three way tussle.

they'll end up on over 2ppg, and that ought to be enough to get you promoted. But I'll have a chuckle if they don't go up.

I'm keeping the wrong peddle in, cus it seems apt!

They looked until the start of Jan at times like a niddljg PL side, not top end middling but middling or lower middling IMO.

Burnley, Luton, Sheffield United at turn of year or Leicester? The current versions of Brentford (injury hit), Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest or up to end of 2023, Leicester.

They won 4 on the bounce to mid February too..AFCon didn't help but still a deep squad, post 2-3 in Jan, some injuries but the Championship has a great habit of dragging sides back in.

Huge result for Plymouth. Might just be enough.

I do wonder with the top three dropping points whether Southampton raise a renewed look at the table? Look a mile behind, ten behind Leicester, but two games in hand and still have to play them.

Still in their hands, but now no margin for error left.

I had a feeling Plymouth might get something.

Tricky, Friday night..Championship can always reel you back in- lot of tricky away games.

The Foxes were fairly toothless at Home Park. Vardy had a decent chance second half but his effort was saved - apart from that the Argyle keeper a relatively easy night.

Looks as if Leicester have bottled it. Three 1-0 defeats. Us, Millwall and now Plymouth.

Quick look back and I make it 10 points from their last 10. However you slice it, that is dreadful. Still in their own hands, but only just now.

Relegation form that. Extrapolated over…

Ah, let’s not go there again…

Leicester away form is amongst the worst in the league. Lost their last 3 away games 1-0 against us, Millwall and now Plymouth. It’s only their home form that’s keeping them near the top.

Their away form but actually their away record is the best in the division.

Incidentally our Home Record is 9th which is an undoubted improvement.

I wish every table had the arrow Willy nilly somewhere on the table,would certainly help the youth with their maths

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wout Faes have a good game, strange player 

Like an even worse version of David Luiz as a defender - with obviously the same hairdresser!

I think Blackburn are in massive trouble with the games they have left, Leeds, Leicester & Coventry, their home game with Sheff' Weds' will be make or break

Wednesday already sold 7,000 tickets - have asked for more!

Will be like a home game for them - as you say, think Blackburn are in big trouble - they certainly didn’t look up for the fight on Wednesday night either

I think they can and will lose their three tough games mainly because of their woeful defence, lose against Wednesday and they're down

If promoted you could see this Leeds team coming straight back down again. 

If they get promoted it won’t be THIS Leeds team, they’ll spend like mad…again.

Bonkers, what a league.  What a 72 hours for Eustace! 😉

Imagine if they`d won 1-0 at our place and lost 5-0 at Leeds. Would anyone have been surprised? Do it the other way round and it`s headlines all over the place.

Mad league!

Well well well.

 

Can't remember who it was on wed who posted about there not being much between most if not all teams in the champ. Coming down to tactical set up/form/desire/who woke up on the right side of the bed. They're being proved right with this top 3 choking the way they are.

Funny old game. Blackburn fans must be scratching their heads.

That was me! Here it is again. I do think this explains the notoriously unpredictable Championship, to some extent at least.

This division is bonkers. Whoever of the top 4 doesn’t make it into the automatic places will be worried about  facing a team on form in the playoffs. And the team currently best in the form table are Norwich. Until we do the unthinkable and win at Carrow Road next weekend!

As someone else said earlier a Norwich v Ipswich play off semi would be a thing of beauty.
