Comparing every Champ club’s points & goal tallies to halfway point last term
We’ve now reached the halfway point of the Championship campaign – and Leeds United, Norwich City and Birmingham City are among the division’s biggest improvers from last season.
Leeds currently sit top of the league with Norwich closely behind, but it has already been a long season for the likes of Bolton Wanderers and Ipswich Town, who prop up the rest.
We’ve compared every Championship club’s points and goal tallies to the same stage last season, discounting those who were promoted or relegated into it.
