    Championship thread 25/26!

    A Sheffield United supporter who got the job as Sheffield United manager. The reasons for getting rid of Wilder remain. Are the owners willing to admit they were wrong and go crawling back to Wilder? Would he be happy to work for them again? It's such a shame they worked out quite quickly...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Sep

    We need to get used to games like this. Ipswich and ourselves are the standout sides in the Championship this season especially at home. Norwich wouldn't have come to our place to play like this but it didn't take them long to find out we're certainly a level above them. They got the early goal...

    Calling anything except Ipswich to get promotion is a bit premature. The table now and in a couple of months will look totally different. Most clubs had a big turnover of players that need to settle in. Many won't. I prefer to wait until the 10 to 12 games point. Then you also have the manager...

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I called Selles as being the wrong appointment before the season started. Hull backed him spending a lot of money with the results not coming in. Added to this they sold players to be replaced with cheap loans without Championship experience. By the time they brought in a few better players they...

    Exactly. It may not be what you want for yourself but is what many others would want. Apart from the game we're not seen as a good away day. If driving you have to plan where to park because of the restrictions. If you like a beer or few before the game your choices are very limited without...

    Solid start to the season

    Over a whole season there's a 2 points a game target. That's a 92 point finish. We're not just close but spot on and having Middlesbrough with a very good start doesn't suddenly mean we're not close to our target. Our biggest rivals were supposed to be Sheffield United and the relegated sides...

    No single plan of what happens with the arena away from the game itself will be for the majority. Many like to have a few beers and enjoy the buildup to the game. The location of the arena doesn't make this easy. It's the one thing HR will always have been better for. But if we could have a...

    6 team play off

    A couple of extra games for the clubs finishing 7th and 8th is a speck of dust in the whole picture. Those finishing 5th and 6th wouldn't get any extra games if they go out. My question would be how much would it be worth financially to the FL.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Add the 2 sides that got up automatically and you have 1/3 of the clubs either promoted or still involved after the 46 games are over. It's already a lottery in the playoffs.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Sep

    It's always nice to beat the better sides but even more important is to try and keep up with averaging 2 points a game. With so many of the better sides not having a good start 92 points would be a good target.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Several have an agenda and poo poo anything else that doesn't fit in with their agenda without making any valid points.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Norwich City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Sep

    Too early to bring Woolfenden in as a starter IMHO. Keep the same lineup and bring him on at about 70 minutes for either Thomas or Kitching for whoever isn't playing the better out of the two. If he shows his worth in his 1st time on the pitch there's then a good reason for him to start the next...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I see silly season hasn't gone away still. It's very easy to sign squad fillers. It's very easy to sign players for well over their true value. We sold Binks for over his true value and only a squad filler. We sold Sheaf for a very good amount when in reality he was a replacement for Grimes...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    French football is mainly about 2 clubs these days PSG and Marseille. Half of the top flight clubs would struggle in the Championship. Ligue 2 is poor.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Not always as simple as that. Some will have been on a massive wage and expected similar again. Now they're not earning anything and if they're not careful will never play again unless they lower their expectations. The longer they are not playing the more clubs won't take a gamble on them.

    Does anyone else feel that we’ve been sold short ?

    Didn't read this thread until now. A couple of points. Hughes before Woolfenden? Most probably down to price. Was our last bid 7m? Do we believe what we read on the supposed bids? Money available? We will never know. Was Sheaf sold to pay for Hughes but they turned down our highest bid that...
