    Championship thread 24/25!

    Rohl is a very good manager. They’ll do very well this season. Corberan is another very good manager. In spite of all the issues around WBA, I was impressed by their away win on Saturday.

    Think he made more than 1 last ditch tackle to deny almost certain goals or goal scoring chances for Stoke.

    Agree. I was in that camp as well

    Saw their highlights against Norwich. They were impressive. If we lose to them on Friday, I’m afraid to think of the meltdown here.

    We are not cohesive enough and don’t move up and down the field as a unit. Yesterday in the first half especially there were huge gaps in midfield that were easily exploited by Stoke which allowed them to break at will. Only in the second half did we show some signs of being compact and moving...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    We never looked like scoring. Maybe losing the game was a good thing because it highlights our problems to Doug and MR. Still got around 20 days to address it in this window.

    Rob Gurney said something to the effect of Johannsen could have come in his pajamas and slippers and sat is a lawn chair to read a newspaper. That’s how easy it was for him.

    It’s a very competitive league and you have to make the most of limited opportunities that come your way. That’s why winning the ball when you’re out of possession is so important. I don’t want to ding Simms too much, but he sometimes is too indecisive and slow. There was one chance in the...

    Torp and Palmer are similar players in that they are finesse guys who play with flair and like to do the fancy things. I just want a basic, hardworking, no nonsense midfielder with some grit and determination that will win the ball when out of possession and drive the team forward.

    And Binks who was my MOTM. He was the reason we were in the game until they scored.

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    No, we beat Forest on opening day in 21-22. We’ve had Hamer and Fadz’s leadership at the back for every opening day since we’ve been back in the Championship (2-1 loss to Bristol C, 2-1 win v Forest, 1-1 draw v Sunderland and 2-1 loss to Leicester), but this was by far the poorest performance...

    I feel Stamenic was our solution to the Hamer problem but fucking Forest had to tempt him away.

    Listen all. I’ll try to answer all of you here. I care deeply about the club and want us to win all games. We play in Man City colours (more so this year) and why not emulate them in terms of challenging for every single competition right? I get that. I want to win it all too and am very...

    It’s a choice because of the effects of having a congested fixture schedule due to having a deep cup run. That’s how they are related. Think the choice is clear especially after last season.

    Granted I’m not happy after today’s result and just blowing off some steam, but honestly speaking if you had a choice between a deep cup run or getting promoted what would you prefer?

    Who knows the U-21s might show more heart, grit and desire than our first team did today.

    Put the U-21s out for this and get it over with. League should be No. 1 priority.

    Having so many forwards with no proper midfielders and a suspect defence is like having several guns but no bullets.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    This was the worst performance on opening day since our return to the Championship and I am not exaggerating. Think back to our 2-1 loss to Bristol City, 2-1 win over Forest, 1-1 draw vs Sunderland and last season’s 2-1 loss against Leicester. All of those performances were far better than...
