"This week's Championship action has not just deepened long-standing hangovers suffered by the three clubs relegated from the Premier League but pointed to issues more wide-reaching than simply having to adapt to life back in the second tier."
"As unbeaten leaders Coventry City show no signs of letting up, and second-placed Middlesbrough remain close in pursuit, Marti Cifuentes, Kieran McKenna and Will Still have plenty to ponder if they are to find a formula to claim an immediate return to the top flight with their respective sides."
""Bad game, really bad first half. Probably the worst we have played so far this season," Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester. "I'm not happy at all with the performance. It's far from the standards that I want - it's far from the vision that I have for this club, and that makes me feel very angry.""
Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton all started the Championship sluggishly and sit outside the top six early in the season. Coventry City lead the table unbeaten, with Middlesbrough closely pursuing, increasing pressure on managers Marti Cifuentes, Kieran McKenna and Will Still to find formulas for immediate promotion. Leicester occupy eighth with 17 points from 11 matches after a poor display at Hull that prompted strong criticism from Cifuentes. The Championship remains a relentless, unforgiving division where form can rapidly change standings, with more than 100 points still available and promotion outcomes still open.
