    Championship thread 25/26!

    Normally I would agree. But it isn't often a player leaves a club for less than their value with most of their supporters not wanting the player to leave.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    My predicticted season favourites for the Championship title. But all isn't as it seems. Have you seen the Woolfenden interview on why he was happy to leave? He stated that it isn't how you do on the pitch for team selection but more to do with club politics. When you consider most of their...

    Rivals for auto spots

    They have the squad maybe but they don't have the manager. The Championship is one of the most competitive divisions in the world. Will Still isn't a highly experienced manager. The Championship will have been an eye opener for him. Southampton are already 8 points and a GD of 21 behind us after...

    Rivals for auto spots

    I get what you're saying. But the team of 21/22 wasn't anything on the team of now. We had 2 excellent players and nearly all the rest were average at best. If we lost our best 2 players then we would lose most of the time. Now, losing Rudoni, Torp and others? We just continue to hammer sides...

    "It never happens for people like us, you know"

    I'm happy with it happening later in the season. If they're not going up automatically it can be held over until next season. If it gets them out of the playoffs or out of the top 2 then hit them with it. If they don't go up this season they're financially fooked. They've already borrowed...

    "It never happens for people like us, you know"

    I'd love it if we came 1st and they came 2nd. Then the points deduction put them into 3rd and they lose the playoffs

    Ellis simms

    He should score goals in this side but all strikers would have a good chance of scoring with us. It isn't as though he has to run past players with the ball. All he has to do is get into the 6 yard box to get chances. He then has a height advantage over most players.

    Team for Blackburn

    If Wright is 100% he plays. If he isn't then he gets rested. We have goals right through this team. We're better off getting our best players ready for the more difficult games coming up than risking them in the easier games.

    Team for Blackburn

    It's very simple to me. The players now get a deserved rest. We start the next game with our strongest 11 without any niggling injuries. Get everyone 100% fit for the November and December games that we can. Football is a squad game. We're lucky to have players capable enough and ready to slot...

    We had 3 players in an offside position for the Wright goal yesterday. All of them nearly on the goal line 😆😁

    Same Stage Last Season

    Of course we're going to have harder times during the season. Our hardest moments so far have been a battling 0-0 away to Leicester and Norwich time wasting and getting yellow cards from the 1st half onwards. But as long as we continue to play the same system we will finish at or near the top...

    Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 4th Oct

    We've taken 2 lessons from Leeds last season. Attack Attack Attack. Then we got a very good GK. They lost soft goals because of their average GK.

    Did Frank inherit a top squad?

    I'd go as far as making us the Ace of the pack.

    Matty grimes

    He had offers over the years but was very happy at Swansea. Things change. On a change of subject but the Woolfenden interview said a lot. He was very happy being at our club. He didn't come here expecting to come straight into the side. We were playing very well so knew he had to wait for a...

    Matty grimes

    It's not as simple as that. I remember a thread on here questioning the same thing. It wasn't noticed how he pinged the ball a fair distance when space was found. Some just wouldn't have it. The very next game he pinged three 30 yard passes 😁

    Matty grimes

    Different players for different situations. Grimes hardly ever gives the ball away. If there isn't anyone in front of him in a p position to receive the ball he will pass sideways and even backwards to keep position. But as soon as someone finds a little bit of space it goes forward. If...

    Ellis simms

    All strikers miss easy chances. It's those that don't let it hit their confidence that will carry on scoring goals. He now has 8 from 9 games. With minutes played he has played less than 8 games. With an injury free season I wouldn't bet against 30 goals this season.

    Same Stage Last Season

    And none of them had scored as many goals as our +20 GD then either 😂

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I saw us as having a good chance this season but even I wasn't expecting this. We've even got players like Woolfenden and KKH not given much of a chance especially now we've finally got to see them and see how good they actually are. My cricket captain is a Sunderland supporter. He says it...
