The statement toughest opposition, I would argue, we need to stop thinking we should be beating X,Y,Z we have underperformed of late granted but there are no givens in this league, you earn every point.

Many a year has gone by that Hull, Blackpool and Bristol city have beat us and beat us well, credit where credit is due, we can only take it 1 game at a time and first and foremost compete with whoever is in front of us!

The championship is ridiculously competitive. Outside of the top 6 no-one has won more than 8 games. We've won 6.

So yep, I don't think there are really any easy games. Most teams, even those near the bottom, with a bit more luck in just a couple of matches, would be pushing for the play-offs. It's very fine margins that are determining where most sides are in the league.

Agree with this. It's competitive but it also means that a small run could have a big impact.

Those possession stats are interesting - had plenty of it yesterday but one or two of the other games may have been less than 50%?

I guess finishing could improve but noticed quite a few "pot shots" from distance last (the beauty of xG) ;)

Balance of play has been the biggest improvement for me (albeit I've only seen a couple of the games). When in possession we play quickly and generally get the ball into dangerous positions, out of possession we win it back quicker than previous.
