Demitri_C Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The only thing is that is ridiculous is that sheff wed get the deuction next season and wigan got it this year. It should be the same for both. Absolutely ridiculous. So glad we are not under the lame efl anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Bristol City sack Lee Johnson, say they're going to replace him with a 'next level appointment', get linked to Gerrard, Terry, Hughton and Paul Cook, then almost six weeks later give the job to Dean Holden - who was Johnson's assistant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they meant next level in height rather than a hobbit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I think the suprise package this year will be stoke. I think the teams who will be in or around top 4 will be Cardiff watford brentford stoke boro possibly derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good manager and they've better resources than most, they will right up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) There was some talk last week EFL were appealing independent board about deducting Sheff Weds -12 for last season instead of applying it this season. I assume nothing came of that otherwise it would've impacted on relegation and the fixtures being released. Talk Derby are going to be hit with a big points deduction at some point this season aswell. As I've said before I think Watford will win the league given they've still got the same squad they went down with so a few of those will be starting the season with them and then yeah Stoke and Boro under Warnock will probably fancy their chances of top 2, Brentford aswell if they can get over play off hangover quickly. Just glad we're not in it again! Edited August 23, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad we're not in it again! I can't see the Sheff Wed situation changing, its a disgrace though. Derby are going to go into absolute financial meltdown, its a question of when not if, I think they are very likely to end up in administration. I agree re Watford although as always the manager is an unknown element, Stoke, Forest if they retain key players and add a couple more will be up there. Even with the Warnock factor I can't see Boro in the mix personally. I would expect Norwich to be the most likely league winners. I think its possibly the weakest Championship in a good number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not sure there's much more financial trickery they can do, they need to get pomoted soon or they'll be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Norwich sign Hugill, I think they've spent more on him than on their entire squad last summer as a premeir league team, he's their tenth signing of the summer.

useless Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 WIll be interesting to see how Watford get on tonight under their new manager, only three players in their starting eleven who played against Arsenal, none of, Huges, Sarr, Dawson, Gray, or Deeney, in the squad.

Keyblade Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 To think we were a goal away from playing Middlesborough today. Appalling match, didn't realize how poor Championship football was when we were in it (because we were equally as poor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That game so far has been poor even by championship standards, chances are they'll improve as the season goes on, but both teams look like average midtable sides at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
