Plenty of underachievers in the Npower Championship so far this season

Middlesbrough, Leicester, Hull, Nottingham Forest, and Bristol City are all at the bottom of the table. And teams like Millwall, Norwich and Leeds are in the play off positions. Very odd start to the season, its almost as if the league table is upside down at this point.

Hull's away form Is shocking

Hull? Not really underachievers. We let go 19 players in the summer and are still in significant debt.

Boro are doing awful considering many tipped them to win the league. It's gonna be a close call this season.

Q.P.R are, and have been for a while, my favourite Championship team.

We have played really well with half a squad missing and I still think we're underachieving.

I dunno man, if someone had offered me this position at this time before the season started I would have chewed their hand off. I thought we might have beat Derby but I didn't expect anything from Forest, thought we might draw with Millwall and Watford and then Swansea as well. So I'm well pleased with where we are.

QPR started well last season then it fell apart.

Im glad Ipswich have made a great start

I'am pleased aswell but after seeing them in every league game this season we are really knocking it about well and we look really strong with some key players missing.

Once we get a first win we'll start climbing the table, and fast. We've been really unlucky so far. Outplayed Burnley in the 1st game bu lost 1-0, then we've went on to draw the next 4, with Earnshaw hitting the post in 3 of the games. Then on Saturday we should of won by about 4 or 5, Blackstock missed a penalty and their keeper was on top form unfortunately for us. Seems like all the keepers have the games of their lives when they play us this season

We should be in the 6th for sure.......2 late goals let in vs Coventry and 1 vs Bristol City have cost us 4 points ......

When Hull get going, they'll be unstoppable in the championship.

Disagree. We have one senior keeper at the moment. I reckon we could be good going forwards, but defensively not so good.

Your so negative about the team you support, things arn't looking great at the moment but at least try and look on the bright side.

Fucks sake, our defence is shocking, two errors for the goals again tonight. Gonna have to try come from behind again.

5-1 fuck off.

5-2 absolute nightmare.

Saw Chris in college today Ben

I don't see why Grayson was so reluctant to invest in defenders.

I thought you'd finished college now?

:crdance: Bristol City 0-2 Watford :crdance:

If games ended with no added time we'd be in 3rd

We were too busy going crazy on too many strikers.

I've done my time in 6th form but I got a job and I'm back at college on block release 2 weeks at a time. Getting paid for it though.

Yeah we've got four good strikers yet only play one of them Four class wingers too. Only one good defender though, and he's still out for ages.

Oh so you just help out a bit here and there? Nice.

I don't help out, I'm on a course! Doing building services engineering, my company pay for it and so I just go for 2 weeks at a time to get the qualifications, the rest of the time I'm at work.

We won a game woooooooooooooooo

Ohhh, I had no idea what block release meant.
Not bad, is the job full time-ish?

Yeah mostly, 12 weeks out of 52 at college per year. Should be aight.

Yeah sounds quite good. Notre's decent too actually, can just go into town at lunch or during a free

Yeah I'm gonna blend into town tomorrow at lunch, need to get some boots from sports direct. Might sneak a Subway in too.

I finish at lunch so defo will head in. Only downside is it means I have fast food every day as well, gonna turn into a right lard.

You're telling me, I'm putting some right timber on! Need to get the boots so I can start rugby again and lose it!

Bastard, I finish at 7.45. Long one.
