Championship Games 25/26

Well I think that’s the main issue, making an assessment of a player off seeing him play once. Choudhury to be fair probably had one of his better games this season against Millwall but he has proven over the past ten years that he’s a middling player who struggles at Championship level. He also plays a different position to Burke and Sichenje and wouldn’t fit into our side; he’s not a centre back even in a 3 and we don’t play with a right back. He’s not attacking or positionally sensitive enough to play at RWB in our system and if you think our midfield is bad now then you wouldn’t want to see it with Choudhury in it. Totally different player to Burke but despite playing less and being a centre back Burke managed more goals than him this season. I don’t care what Choudhury does next season, it won’t be with us, most likely won’t even be in the ChampionshipArthur_Trudgill said:

How much have you seen him play? He is famously a technically lacking footballer. His strengths are his aggression and tenacity, though his positioning and reading of the play are poor. You genuinely might be the first person to call him skilful and technical though, you must be thinking of a different player. Ask any Leicester fan what they think of him, they won’t recognise your descriptionArthur_Trudgill said:
Hmm. From what I've seen, he's a skillful right sided player.Garrymanilow said:
Absolutely. Aside from the fact Burke is a centre back and Choudhury is a central midfielder who gets stuck at right back because he causes less harm there Burke is actually a decent player who just can’t stay fit. In an absolutely atrocious Leicester team Choudhury has only started 16 league games this season, even Leicester don’t really rate him. He’s played an average of 49 minutes per game, still managed to pick up 7 yellows because that’s his only skill, provided 0 assists and 0 goals. He loses possession constantly, puts in mad challenges when he’s caught out of position and, again, struggles to get in to the side of a team relegated to League One despite ostensibly having some decent players. He’s also 28 years old so choosing an incredible time to find his lowest point.Arthur_Trudgill said:

Choudhury? Absolutely atrocious footballer, won’t look out of place in League One. A midfielder so poor he can only get a game at right back and playing there he’s been part of a relegation squad.

Choudry for starters.
Do you think he's worse than Burke?
Odd that he would cause less harm at right back than midfield. Wikipedia has him as holding midfield or right back.
I would have him if we could afford him. Disregarding his injuries, Burke is not as good a player as him, and Burke only came on today because Sichenje had to come off.
Even Sichenje, as much as I love him as a relatively skillful defender, is not as technical as Choudry.
I saw him play well the other night, along with other Leicester players, and thought he was pretty good, and better than some of our players on the right side of the pitch.
I don't watch all the Leicester matches, not even all the Championship, mainly Charlton and Arsenal and the odd important game, and the internationals.
Let's do this: if Choudry has less goals or assists next season than Burke then I agree with you?0 -

Wouldn't be surprised if a few players like De Keersmaeker have clauses in their contract that if they are relegated then there is a fee that the club would agree to accept to let them go slightly cheaper. Seem to remember Tom Lockyer having something similar when we were relegated with him in the squadMarcusH26 said:
I guess this is all going to come down to how much Oxford need to get in the coffers financially with a new stadium to pay for as to if they drive a hard bargain and want top fees for all of them or if there's maybe deals to be done. Would definitely like Mills and Currie but so will most of the league, De Keersmaeker would solve a lot of our problems but equally I wonder if Oxford want all of their £3.5m back for him do we go to Holland/Belgium and find our own?Crispywood said:
Leicester city players have proved they are driven by money and the completely wrong people you want at the club which would never work in a team managed by Jones.Arthur_Trudgill said:

personally if we go for the best relegated players Oxford are the way to go. Jamie Cumming, Jack Currie, Ciaron Brown, Brian De Keersmaecker, Cameron Brannagan, Stanley Mills all worth a look at2 -
I don’t think you came across as a troll at all, it’s nice to have a debate about a player, that’s what this place is for. I do admit Choudhury might be one of my least favourite players so I think I go in two footed on him any opportunity. He and I have that in commonArthur_Trudgill said:

To be fair, slightly off topic, but our long-term investment/outlay in Ahadme, would probably attract the same level of mirth from other clubs below our level.Crispywood said:

Even if Wrexham make the playoffs, I can't see them winning them, considering 3 of Ipswich, Millwall, Soton and Boro will also be there.
Looking at last season's table, the 3 promoted clubs the previous year all finished with similar points totals to what we have now.
Pompey 54
Oxford 53
Derby 50
Derby really kicked on this season, having swapped Warne for Eustace in February 2025, whereas Pompey stayed roughly the same and Oxford declined slightly.

If there will be one single team and one single manager with more experience of getting promoted than the other three teams put together then it’s Wrexham and Parkie. Don’t write off the impact that experience can have. The play offs and all that they bring will be business as usual for them.killerandflash said:Even if Wrexham make the playoffs, I can't see them winning them, considering 3 of Ipswich, Millwall, Soton and Boro will also be there.

Coventry v Wrexham: 1-1 at halftime. Absolutely filthy bit of skill from Mason-Clark that put Dobson on his arse was a highlight so far.

Just to clarify - I wasn’t basking in Dobson’s humiliation (I’m still a bit fond of him tbh!) - he just happened to be the Wrexham player who got done.ross1 said:

Assuming Wrexham were to win 1-0 next Saturday and Hull were to win 2-0 they would both be on same points and goal difference. How would they work out who finished sixth?0

In that scenario Hull would get 6th based on goals scored.7 -
Better scenario would be if Wrexham won 3-2 and Hull won 2-0 - As they'd be level on points, goal difference and goals scored... But it then comes down to H2H which would go to Hull as they won both League fixtures. If the two sides had drawn both games, then Wrexham would take 6th based on having won more gamesbobmunro said:Starinnaddick said:Assuming Wrexham were to win 1-0 next Saturday and Hull were to win 2-0 they would both be on same points and goal difference.

I reckon Derby get 6th place.4

Refreshing to just observe this thread from now on, rather than care about the outcome of any of the games, bar Millwall hopefully imploding of course - sorry Millwall Fan
Even if Ipswich lose 2mo, I think they will be quite comfortable against QPR. QPR are shocking away and have nothing to play for. It would have to be some sort of major screw up on Ipswich’s part to lose.
The 6th spot is obviously good to see go to the final game, Hull still in with a chance after y’day and Derby too.The order of 3rd-5th in the playoffs will be interesting, particularly if Soton win 2mo. Boro have a tough game at Wrexham, Millwall have the easiest for me. Personally, I’ve always preferred home leg second, and our 3 promotions have come with the home leg second. Twice we lost when it was Palace and Shrewsbury in the home leg first. Swindon are the outlier as we were away first, but overall if I’m one of Millwall, Boro and Soton, I’d want to be finishing 3rd/4th0
