The Championship is famously unpredictable but LewisOldham99 thought we could rely on Dwight Gayle at least...
Not many would have seen second-tier specialist Dwight Gayle being a flop at Stoke City or Chuba Akpom turning into an Erling Haaland-esque goalscorer…There are many strikers who have struggled in the Premier League but have guaranteed goals in the Championship. Teemu Pukki and Cameron Jerome come to mind as prime examples but Gayle was king of the hill.
With Gayle failing to fire, Stoke’s joint-top goalscorers – Tyrese Campbell and Lewis Baker – sit on five apiece and Alex Neil’s side are in a perilous position just five points above the bottom three. Instead, Wilder is out of work with his reputation and ego taking a hit and Middlesbrough have instead been on the rise under novice boss Michael Carrick.
After barely featuring under Wilder, Carrick has managed to unearth a supreme talent as Akpom is finally reaching his full potential. On early evidence, Rob Edwards has proven to be an inspired appointment by the club’s hierarchy after he was unfairly dismissed after just 11 games by the Pozzo family of Watford.
From the outside, it has been infuriating to watch them undo all of the promising work done last season in League One. Richardson’s side were the rightful champions in the third tier as they edged out Rotherham United and MK Dons for the title.
