Championship Relegation Watch 2024

Callumcafc

Since we can stop worrying about League One relegation, thought it was a good time to start a Championship Relegation Watch…

Nine teams separated by five points with five games left to play - although you’d have to say that Sheff Wed, Birmingham, Millwall and Plymouth are the sides in most danger.

Sheff Wed fixtures: Norwich (H), Stoke (H), Blackburn (A), West Brom (H), Sunderland (A)

Birmingham fixtures: Cardiff (H), Coventry (H), Rotherham (A), Huddersfield (A), Norwich (H)

Huddersfield fixtures: Preston (A), Bristol City (A), Swansea (H), Birmingham (H), Ipswich (A)

Millwall fixtures: Leicester (H), Cardiff (H), Sunderland (A), Plymouth (H), Swansea (A)

Plymouth fixtures: QPR (H), Leicester (H), Stoke (A), Millwall (A), Hill (H)

I expect Brum and Huddersfield to join Rotherham in the drop.

Its Huddersfield vs Birmingham that stands out from that lot!!

Did Plymouth lose a lot of players in the summer? Obviously Championship is much more difficult, you'd still think getting 101 points in league one would mean not struggling like this season.

Those fixtures must give Millwall some hope. Personally I’d say Birmingham have the better fixtures. I thought Sheff We’d might squeak out of it but I think not looking at their games.

Think Sheff Wed & Birmingham will join Rotherham.

Can see Chef Wendy beating Stoke, get something against West Brom, and pick up a win at either Blackburn or Sunderland.

Its so tight down there it's near impossible to predict.

No but lost players in Jan + their manager went Stoke early on
