    Championship thread 25/26!

    Is it really that much of a draw for a prospective manager to feature in Europe now with either Celtic / Rangers? Certainly for EL and CL the new format makes it considerably harder for them to qualify for the knockout stages - which they were struggling to do anyway.

    Looks like Lewis Brunt will be out long-term to add to their defensive issues.

    Win this and they're through to the QFs. Parkinson will have fond memories of this cup from his time at Bradford. I'd imagine he'll look at fielding a strong lineup based on players which are available - although he's got a mounting injury list.

    Mason-Clark Appreciation Thread

    For a winger he's very stocky which naturally will compromise his acceleration over short distances. Having excess muscle can also negatively impact stamina hence why he often looks more leggy as a game goes on.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Wouldn't cost a lot if we wanted him permanently in Jan. Looks like his contract is up in the summer. I assume that would be a loan though.

    Yeah I do think the extra game on Tuesday is going to have an effect on them. 5 games in two weeks is tough for any side.

    Match Thread Wrexham AFC - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 31st Oct

    Wrexham rank among the highest in expected goals conceded and are in the top 5 teams that have faced the most shots this season. This is definitely a game where we need to start on the front foot.

    Rivals for auto spots

    Southampton's next five games are tough. I'd imagine their automatic chances will be gone after those block of fixtures, along with Still.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    By all accounts our key players received plenty of interest in the summer. Yet none went. If clubs wouldn't meet our valuation then, well it doesn't take a genius to realise that they've got next to no chance in January where more often than not clubs have to pay above market rate anyway and a...

    It'll be interesting to see how they manage their week. Realistically they'll want to get through to the next round and Cardiff are hardly slouches given how they've started the season so I can see them going near enough full strength.

    They've got a Cup game against Cardiff on Tuesday. Hopefully that takes it out of them.

    I think DK will be hanging a big fat not for sale sign on each of their necks to be honest.

    Watford Player Ratings

    Yeah basically what I said in response to the other post. We lost the midfield battle all game really. But we still came away with a 3-1 win and it's probably the one game this season (even after all the incredible results we've had so far) that genuinely demonstrates how punishing we can be...

    If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted

    Their tactics were actually very effective. Overwhelm the midfield and bypass it by pumping long balls into the channels for their quick forwards to latch onto. We also allowed Louza far too much time on the ball. Which obviously is something you just can't do against Watford as he'll dictate...

    If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted

    At this level you're just not going to play well every game. As punishing as Leeds and Burnley were last season they definitely didn't. Like you said it's about taking your chances. If you're clinical the rest of the fluff doesn't particularly matter. We saw the level of frustration we caused...

    If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted

    This is one of the key reasons why we're so threatening I think. We're very capable of scoring against the run of play. Which for an opposition, must be in the back of their mind when pushing forward.

    If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted

    We were largely reliant on very young forward line in that season who at times needed taking out of the side for their own good. Armstrong for instance after Jan I think scored 3 goals in 15 games.

    Watford Player Ratings

    Great to have bagged the win. But a bizarre performance by a lot of players. Rushworth MOTM by a country mile. Silly mistake for the pen but Watford would've scored probably 2-3 more without him in goal. Distribution was also very good. Both centre backs were all a bit shambolic at times...

    Yeah it's rubbish. PB has even denied it personally.

    Bamford can play anywhere across the forward line I believe.
