I think he's reached a stage where he realises how tough his job is going to be. We beat Huddersfield at home and then Preston away within a few days, and we were set up to get in the top 6, but then lost at home to Wycombe and were outclassed by Bournemouth on Sat, which brought everyone back down to earth. I'll be happy with a mid table finish for his first season. He started well plugging the holes in the defence, but we are desperate for a decent finisher. He did his best in the window and brought 10 in, and that's going to take a while to get them playing as a unit, but much happier all round than with Clotet.

Lost to Wycombe? They look destined to go back to League 1. How's Hogan this season, Zummers?

Hogan has never recovered the form he was in when he first joined. Scored his first goal against Bournemouth since March. Hopefully that will kick start something but we are desperate for another striker.

Have to be honest, I've paid fuck all attention to the Championship this season. Couldn't tell you who's top. Was totally sick of it by the time we finally got out. Good league but not somewhere you want to be forever.

It used to have things going for it away from the Premier League- more 3pm kick-offs, cheaper tickets- but even they have gone now.

With the new post-EU transfer rules, it’s going to get worse from a transfer fee perspective. The ridiculous spiralling of fees in the Championship over the last couple of seasons will pale in comparison when clubs dive into the lower leagues instead of having to look abroad.

Me neither. I think it’s all about Brentford to be honest. They’re everyone’s darling. No one else is worth bothering about in the Championship. Guess last season’s relegated sides from the Prem are somewhere around the top.

EDIT: and on looking, they occupy the top three places.
