is it a myth?

[Dunraven]

The whole "it's so differcult in the championship".

Burnley and Hull straight back up, we're the only ones who made an ar.se of it.

Not sure I buy the 'cold Tuesday nights in Rotherham, 46 games of war blah blah'.

Bookies and many here have two out of the three relegated prem teams to go back up next season, regardless of parachute payments I reckon, though undoubtedly helps.

Hope we haven't missed the boat with our new 2-3 plan/
strategy

It is tricky, I do think Burnley had a great cohesive squad already and then brought in Barton and Gray to improve their team further. Our team was nowhere near the level of either of those clubs. Can I also say I love cold Tuesday night games.

Me too, wouldn't have minded a trip to the Olympic stadium, Rotherham is a pain to get back from

Yeah that would have been great. Looking forward to Newcastle away though. .May still get Millwall to go to :S

[Dunraven]

Christ, yeah. Millwall. Don't suppose you were in or around the old askew arms on that day? That was a larf/mess.

Cardiff can be a good night out too, luckily I have a mate married to a taff there who can vouch 'for the cockney 'wa.nker'

[CroydonCaptainJack]

Hull will struggle I reckon.

[James1979]

It's only become a 2-3 year plan because we didn't go up this year. I'd rather be in hull shoes and struggle next year in the Prem

[nasser95]

Issue with us was that we didn't have a squad for this league. We went up, replaced our champ squad (a lot of loan players if you remember), came back down with a prem squad... Burnley and Hull, both had champ squads.

[Dunraven]

Same as, James. Would rather give it a (another) crack than languish in the champ...for how long. All this shi.te about consolidation/ planning etc doesn't wash woth me. I'd rather yo-yo. Bit of excitement at least.

Croydon, fair do's to hull regardless?

[WeAreQPR12]

The championship is shi te. It's a complete myth and the hardest part is the qty of matches. However you just need a bit of quality. Newcastle ran spurs ragged and they will walk it IMO.

[Dunraven]

Nas, would a half-decent prem team (Everton?) walk the championship? I think they would. That's the point I'm trying to make, the championship is not this apocalyptic league it's made out to be

i think that it's a first that 2 relegated teams have gone straight back up... in truth, it's not that often that 1 relegated team goes back up.

bookies also had relegated teams as favourites to go back up last year, the yer before, the year before that, and the year before that... odds at this time of year mean very, very little (although, i must admit that next season looks like newcastle + 1). that said, last season bookies reckoned that leicester were 5000/1 to win the prem (bla bla bla).

championship is a difficult league - hull (a more-or-less prem squad) just about edged past a championship team that finished around about where we did last season.

Yes, fair enough. I think I was unimpressed with the whole standard of our division this season. I do think they and Burnley to struggle as I don't think they will spend like I expect Boro to do.

On the strength of that one game?
What about how they played the rest of the season?

[Kevin Mcleod]

Next season will be a great way to gauge whether its a shite standard keague or not. We will see if it's the players of quality that win it or is it the nous of experienced managers like Dyche and Bruce who make it possible, cos all the three clubs that have gone down will have managers with no experience of managing in the division
