Glancing at the championship table, with Saints and Brighton up at the top, and previous years Norwich straight up to the Premiership, does this mean that Division one is a better league than the Championship ?
Obviously momentum is a factor, and there are exceptions, but of late it seems teams have found life pretty easy up there.
This season we have some pretty 'big' teams in Div 1, Charlton, Sheff Utd, Sheff Wed, Preston, MKDons, Town of course.
Even Leeds and Millwall have settled in quite easily, so how come promoted sides from our league seem to find it pretty easy going with the likes of Leicester, Derby, Forest,Reading, Portsmouth, Ipswich, Coventry and so on competing against them ?
Should the Football League simply swap the leagues around and promote all 24 teams from Div 1 to the Championship ?...now that would be nice...
At least one could argue that the 3 up and 4 down that exists in Div 1 should be changed to 4 up and 4 down, as it is in Div 2. How come the championship get away with only 3 down all these years when it's obvious the promoted clubs from Div 1 can more than hold their own ?
Is Div 1 stronger than the Championship ?

lets get up first Derby, although we are playing well, we are still getting too many draws, should be a big home win Saturday though !! !!

Nothing wrong with a bit of forward planning Its just the way I'd like the next few years to roll out for us
I may actually be able to make the game on Saturday, first game for me since Bury, which would be nice and definitely should be a big win in my opinion.

Sadly I'll miss next 4 games as am away for 3 weeks, but I'll be glued to a TV somewhere for the results. A nice 3-0 or 4-0 against Orient would be good, but things don't always turn out as you expect and if Town haven't 'notched' after half an hour or so the expectancy could turn into angst ..or worse..

I'd take a 1-0 victory now for Saturday

After the last few games I would be disappointed if we win by only 1 goal.

wins all = 3 points! Anything more than 1-0 is a nice bonus I was not expecting. By only expecting a 1-0 win it wont feel like a loss to me because we didn't tonk 5 past em.

Won't feel like a loss to me, just seems we are due to give someone a good pasting, and following our recent games I really think this could be it!

With Charlton & Preston's form a 1-0 will do, but 6 would be nice !!

Town have the potential to fit in well at Championship level, but unfortunatly Lee Clark doesn't.
