I don't agree about Bristol City. Apparently, their game against Norwich was superb.
Boro have a very good defence, but - yes - they lack class. Isn't that, inevitably, the nature of the modern Championship? English football is like an upside down funnel. Look at the PL. Two or three of the top clubs have had so-so seasons, but Chelsea, in sixth place, are still 13 points ahead of the next team!
For the second season running, the other 14 clubs are struggling to get a positive GD, even!
How often, in the future, are promoted clubs going to mount a serious challenge?
I think this is why Despair and I are quite content with Championship football. To be honest, I've reached the point where I'm happy to focus on individual games, rather than worry about where we are in the table.
That's probably why I can't join in with the general, hysterical hair-tearing at the moment.
