Howard Canitbé Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/10093087/10-in-10-don-goodman-picks-his-best-championship-xi-so-far-this-season According to SkySports' Don Goodman, this is his top XI from the Championship so far. Marshall (Cardiff) Elmohamady (Hull) Keogh Shackell Friend (Boro) Clayton (Boro) Kayal (Brighton) Gleeson (Birmingham) Judge (Brentford) Austin (QPR) Nugent (Boro) What does everyone think? What would your best XI be? (Try not to be biased). Based on THIS season, I think Cyrus Christie is unfortunate not to be included at RB. I also think Gray for Burnley is an odd exclusion. Don't know enough about other Championship clubs to make a full XI myself without including at least 5 Derby players, so I'll leave it to the more educated amongst you.

Anon Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Goodman's selection is pretty good with one glaring error. How Nugent has got in there is beyond me. Swap him with Gray and it's reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hard to disagree, but Nugent? Harsh leaving out Gray and Blackman who have been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Boro fans not too happy that Keogh got in over Ayala. http://fansonline.net/middlesbrough/mb/view.php?id=4671998 Decent team that, swap Gleeson for Thorne and Nugent for Blackman.

He showed against Ipswich that he is better than anyone else in this league.” “Ayala is the best cb in the Championship by a mile” “ayala is classes above him.” “I'm not so sure Keogh is as bad as is being said on here. However, Ayala is a class apart.” “Imagine having no budget constraints and picking Judge over Downing” “If there's a better centre half in the league than Ayala then I hadn't seen him he oozes class.” Nice to see they're not too biased. Crazy how Ayala is a class above Keogh (and every other centre half in the league) but Premier League teams were linked with Keogh in the summer and not Ayala. Boro fans obviously know more than the Premier League scouts. And a lot of them are questioning Judge's place in the team. 7 goals and 6 assists would suggest he probably deserves it ahead of most players.

Anon Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Ayala. Mr chip the ball aimlessly forward. Oozes class. Stupid brain dead smoggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Always found this a really pointless exercise. How can people possibly pass judgement in players they have seen play 2 or 3 times?! Ayala may have been immense this season and I would not have the slightest clue so how could I possibly say Keogh and Shackell are better?! On their performances at ipro I would actually say Michael Keane was better but there is not much between any of them. I am not even sure who out best 11 is so how I could know the best 11 in the league is beyond me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Ayala's obviously improved since he was with us on loan, however I wouldn't swap Keogh for him, no way, but then again Boro are champions-elect remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRam Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 We've conceded one less goal than Boro ∴ our defence is better than theirs. Hence why our CB's are in ahead of theirs. Shackell wins everything in the air while Keogh is an excellent footballer who has the ability to carry the ball out from the back, excellent pairing but also brilliant individually for separate reasons. I would agree Friend is the best LB in the league and rightly deserves his place, however Leadbitter > Clayton personally. Gray ahead of Judge for me also but apart from that, a well selected group of players. Wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson or Butterfield in there come the end of the season though...
