What worries me is that this is probably the weakest Championship for a long time, in that due to financial problems none of the relgated clubs from the Premiership have been able to use their parachute money to bounce stright back up, there's no Newcastle or West Brom running away with it this year.
Next season it looks as though there will be some decent teams (by Championship standards) droppping down and so the chance for promotion will be much harder, if they hang onto their reasonable players. Miss this time and we could be condemned to a long period at this level. Of course on the other hand to be even in contention at this stage rather than facing a relegation fight is something most of us would have taken last summer :-) Sarge -----Original Message----- From: N H <bl...@att.net> To: ni...@sykesonline.com; LEEDSLIST <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:47 Subject: [LU] Play offs The fact that as has been pointed out, there are not many if any, teams up there that are much if any, better than we are is what frustrates me most. We keep hrowing away points that we should have gained. It was ironic that in last ight's commentary it was pointed out that (once we took the lead) barnsley's roblem of late is scoring goals....yet they can score three against us... Yes we are only 5 points out of seond, but had a great opportunity last night to be only 3 points out. I have little doubt that we can and will make the play-offs but hope we make econd as the other likely play off teams seem to be ones who we always struggle to beat regardless of our relative ositions. hen did we last do a double over Cardiff, Norwich, Leicester, Forest, Swansea tc? They seem to be bogey teams...(quite honestly, I'd rather play QPR) so a lay off promotion is going to be tough to aceive but, on the bright side I uess, we owe all of them a hiding some time soon.! It'll be nice to start with wansea on Satdi. It was when I looked at that list of teams, along with the high number of derby ames for this season that I was not optimistic about our chancs to do well verall but, it seems we have (with help from others' inconsistency) got urselves to a relatively strong position he undefeated run is great but we've got to start turning those 1s into 3s ather than 3s into 1s. ______________________________________________ eedslist mailing list nfo and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist o unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
