Over a dozen games have now been played in the Sky Bet Championship this season, meaning we’re a little way over a quarter of the way through 2023/24. There’s still plenty of time to go but there have been some early indications at the top extremities of the table.
Leicester City and Ipswich Town, for instance, are 14 and nine points clear in the automatic promotion spots respectively, whereas Rotherham United, Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday are five, six and 11 points adrift from avoiding relegation.

For much of this year and before 7 October, naval gazers had about four areas to look at. First, the ongoing fight in the Black Sea with the Russian blockade weaponizing hunger despite regular Ukrainian successes there.

Call off the search: the worst show of 2023 is here. That is, unless you’re a 13-year-old boy, in which case Obliterated (Netflix) is your dream product. Guns! Naked breasts! A lead character who is a government operative but also looks smokin’ hot in a red bikini! And that’s before we get to the script, in which a foreign baddie plots to nuke Las Vegas. Standing in his way is an elite tactical unit (the best kind) whose members say things like: “We’re supposed to stop the bad guy with the bomb”
