    Michael R: Hey...stop. Preston are not a "plucky side". We finished 7th last season, playing some great football. Get this misconception out of your minds. Stop living on budget sizes and look at performances and results.

    Fair point, well made!

    The action is getting started again.

    Can Leeds find a goal against Rotherham to keep up their perfect start or can Derby mount a comeback at Millwall?

    So, plenty to play for in the second half.

    Five of our nine Championship games are level at the break.

    Only Middlesbrough and Millwall are a couple of goals in front.

    Stick right with us!
