bassett-boys   10 #1 Posted November 27, 2012 I think it was the enthusiasm was mainly fueled by the elation of pipping us to promotion last year only for us to fail at the last hurdle, but I do think a good few Owls not only on this forum but in general who I speak to elsewhere were a little out of touch with just how tough of a league the Championship actually is.  I have always said it is one of those leagues where you have your front runners who play some top football week in week out and tend to pull away from the pack but then with the exception of a couple of teams who just struggle for the majority of a season, anybody can pretty much beat anybody on their day in that league and it is genuinely a really tough league.  I have always said that the key to success in that league has to be a good solid defence and an in form goalscorer. Start at the back and don't concede goals and you won't lose games but equally you need someone to be hitting the back of the net on a regular basis to win games because draws can even spell trouble in that league.  Anyone on here willing to accept that they under-estimated just how tough of a league the Championship is?
