The toughest competition between the second leagues in the world, the English Championship, this season is full of crazy results more than ever.
The English Championship is the toughest second division competition in the world. It is primarily related to the fact that it is an extremely exhausting championship, which in its basic part has as many as 46 rounds, after which the clubs placed from the third to the sixth position play for the only remaining position that leads among the elite, in the Premier League.
At the same time, it is a league that, due to the financial power of the English, is regularly on the list of those who have spent an extremely large amount of money in the transfer window.
This time the championship is not our focus because of any of the above, but because of the incredible current situation and ranking. Namely, in the first place is Blackburn, which has more defeats than the 24th placed Coventry.
Yes, you read that right, and the reason for that lies in the number of games played. Blackburn have recorded nine wins, zero draws and seven losses, while Coventry have as many as five games in hand and their record so far stands at two wins, four draws and five losses.
However, regardless of the huge differences in fixtures played, it is admittedly a little unusual that a whole series of bottom-of-the-table clubs have fewer defeats than the current leaders (West Bromwich Albion, Wigan and Birmingham have five each, Stoke, Cardiff and Blackpool six each).
Perhaps the craziest piece of information related to this standings is the fact that only two clubs in the entire league have more defeats than leaders Blackburn. These are Hull (21st in the table) and Huddersfield (23).
