Wayne Rooney and Birmingham City headline this edition of Championship Spotlight as their owners’ unnecessary managerial switch quickly goes awry…I have showered Birmingham City with praise in recent months as the increased investment their new American owners provided helped them become one of the major winners coming out of the summer transfer window.
Two games have resulted in two defeats, with Rooney and his players booed off by an irate home crowd after their 2-0 midweek loss at the hands of Hull City. QPR are winless in eight Championship games and are already becoming cut adrift from the rest of the pack with six points separating the Hoops and 21st-placed Huddersfield Town.
Leicester were always going to be near the top of the Championship this term. They had a side that was ‘too good to go down’ last season and even without James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, their squad outclassed most clubs in the second-tier even before new head coach Enzo Maresca rebuilt it in his image with some expert signings.
This does not mean the Championship promotion race is already settled because this league is a tiresome slog for even the best of teams. Dips will come for Leicester and Ipswich at some point, but their scintillating form suggests they will take some stopping.after he was left in the lurch following the exits of 39-goal duo Chuba Akpom and Cameron Archer in the summer.
