Yeah I agree, it's definitely not a poor league at all, like you say it's very competitive with more strength in depth. The promoted sides have spent a fortune and none of them will be anywhere near relegation. Ipswich look like they are coming on strong now. It's good that the other 2...

Yeah totally agree. Benjamin Bloom is very knowledgeable and always has good things to say about us. Sam Parkin is good on it as well.

He was playing out of position, only given the odd start, we were in a bit of a mess back then as well, nobody looked fit, etc. He's definitely been very good since Lampard came in. Lampard started Mason-Clark straight away and he won the December player of the month award. Nice and strong...

Absolutely not, this is a top of the table clash. Our focus should be on our own manager and players.

Yeah I agree there, we had some big chances in that first half. Could have been 4-4 at half time!

Definitely, before the last 2 games they had 9 games in a row where they either scored 0 or 1 goals.

Interesting stat. I'd imagine most of them (with the exception of Sunderland and Wolves) were parachute sides so were able to carry big squads. Like people have said some big squads can cause issues though with unrest and egos when players aren't playing.

Like many others, I totally disagree with this post. Like a lot of the previous messages say, at least 3 away games this season have gone to general sale. Also we have got the 2 away games out of the way with the smallest ticket allocations (Wrexham & Oxford). Quite a high number of away games...

Yeah totally agree. EMC is different to our other wingers, he plays on the shoulder of the full back or even centre back when he drifts in, trying to beat the offside trap. Hence a few of his goals last season were pulling off the last man with a ball in behind or over the top. We have defensive...

Teams will take points off each other, we'll win some of these big games and may lose against teams lower down the league, that's the beauty of the Championship. Take each game as it comes and enjoy the ride.

If fit, i'm guessing it could be the same as at Sheff Weds where BTA was in the 10 behind Wright. Torp or Eccles possibly come in for Allen. Decent options.

Absolutely agree, got to give him longer than 4 or 5 league games. On Saturday Milan and Bobby should have dealt with that, no error from Rushworth. At Oxford the first wall had a huge hole in it which meant he could blast the ball straight through it and the 2nd wall Bobby turned his back on...

Rightly so, Bobby has been at fault for a few goals recently. Hopefully the Woolfenden signing raises Bobby's game (y)

Yeah 1st goal there was a hole in the wall and he could hit it as hard as he wanted. And also a poor foul to give away in the first place by Bobby Thomas. 2nd goal Bobby Thomas turned his back and jumped sidewards. I do think Rushworth and the wall should have done a bit more to delay the free...

The thing is if back up players have to play then it will only be 1 or 2 coming in and not 8 in one go. So their performance will improve with better quality players around them.

I thought EMC was really good too, their right back couldn't handle him at all first half. Won the penalty with a lovely turn and scored a very well taken header.

100%, the meltdown on forums after 1 game is incredible. Hull defended very well in their low block, especially Charlie Hughes who won everything. Our match sharpness will be better as we play a few games. Lampard took us from 17th to 5th last season, turned our season around and gave us a very...

No easy games in the Championship (well maybe Sheff Weds against half a squad). I'd take 8 points, that would eclipse the awful starts of the last 3 or 4 seasons! And give us a good base to build on.

More to do with the fact that it's peak summer holiday, people away on holiday, people short on money trying to keep the kids busy whilst they are off school, people just bought home tops for the family and also the 12:30 kick off. We'll 100% sell it out.

Anywhere from 4th to 12th. Parachute teams with their big money (especially wages), Birmingham and Wrexham flexing their muscles with some big spending, other teams like Norwich spent well so far. I'd imagine the usual Middlesbrough, West Brom, etc will be around the chasing pack for the...
