The cushioned back pass from the Coventry cut back earlier in the game was ridiculous BTW. McKenna very much in the De Zerbi mould.

The Championship really is so much better for the neutral than the Premier League.

The Championship certainly has a lot to offer. Some years the title race isn't particularly close, but with playoffs there's always going to be dram in the fight for promotion. The quality in the PL is of course better though, and if the Championship really was better for the neutral, then surely more people would be watching it on TV?

Agreed.

From a fan’s point of view it’s decent too. Lots of games, proper away days.

But it’s a money pit. You have to go almost broke to go up. Go down and your club’s future becomes at risk. Going down would be harder on Tony than the ordinary fan IMO .

It doesn't have the household name superstars that would attract worldwide audiences, but for drama and excitement it's top banana, and they play more often.

But ignoring worldwide audiences, more neutrals in England watch Championship games than PL games :shrug:

Given their recent form, Ipswich were always going to need a 2 goal lead to be comfortable. Fingers crossed they can still get over the line tonight.
