4 things learned about the Championship this weekend

Middlesbrough and Wednesday ones to watch

STS060604_435000kAfter two slow starts this season, managerial changes have reaped both immediate and long term benefits for these two clubs. The Boro fans and board came to the end of their tether with Tony Mowbray and saw October as the best time to bring in a new man to improve their season. Aitor Karanka’s appointment came as a shock with it being his first lead job, however he is slowly but surely embedding his methods on Riverside with clear progress. This came to a head on Saturday with an impressive 1-0 over Steve McClaren’s Derby. Sheffield Wednesday’s season has been jackle and hyde. Stuart Gray is an outside shout for manager of the season, taking Wednesday from the base of the Championship table to safety and the cusp of the top half. On Friday, Wednesday travelled to Leicester and although they travelled home defeated they controlled large phases of the game at the soon to be league champions. If you can not take positives from this defeat than you never will. Both of these club’s bad starts to the season prevented them from achieving something this campaign, but with the foundations in place, next year could be special one at the Riverside and Hillsborough.
