Championship Season Topic

First topic message reminder :

The best league in the world is finally back!

Opening Day (+ Friday)
Leeds United 1 - 0 Wolves
Barnsley 1 - 0 Middlesbrough
Birmingham 1 - 1 Charlton
Burnley 2 - 0 Bolton
Crystal Palace 2 - 3 Watford
Derby 2 - 2 Sheff Wed
Hull 1 - 0 Brighton
Ipswich 1 - 1 Blackburn
Leicester 2 - 0 Peterborough
Millwall 0 - 2 Blackpool
Nottm Forest 1 - 0 Bristol City
Cardiff 1 - 0 Huddersfield

Pleased with the Forest win, 1st opening day win in 6 years and I expected us to start slow. Negotiating for 2 right wingers too

I would have to agree with them palace players tbh!

I wouldn't have given Zaha PotY tbf.

Yeah Murray's surely had a better year than Zaha?

PFA awards are a bit of a joke anyways.

PFA players are pointless IMO

They once put Dan Harding as left back in it and didn't put Glenn Murray in it.

Shocked Liam Bridcutt isn't in it.

Very very very shocked Zaha won the whole thing. Tom Ince is a lot better.

I am not shocked about it at all. Different class for most of the season tbh.

Sad to be letting the lad go. A massive hole needs to be filled. But we still have bolaise

Wolverhampton Wanderers have agreed to sign a player in time for the new season from China.
































Li Gwon.

Kasper Schmeichel and Wes Morgan in the Championship team of the year! Who needs promotion?

New and exciting

No Rhodes…

Henning Berg wins his clain against blackburn and is now owed 2.25m

Yet another feel good story from Ewood Park

£2.25 million for 57 days in charge, bet he's laughing all the way to the bank, especially as he escaped the rollercoaster that is Blackburn Football Club.

Ridiculous. Blackburn's own lawyers described the club's corporate structure as a "shambles".

We have sent Josh McEachran, Ishmail Miller and Sammy Ameobi all back to their respective clubs early and not renewed the short term contract of Kieron Dyer.

Looks like Mogga is going to have a close look at what he has available for next season, which I would suggest isnt a lot so I would expect Sheff Wed to stay up comfortably on Saturday - not going to give them too hard a time I think.

Championship is going to be even tougher next season i recon.

So honest opinions , no team bias

Hull City or Watford for automatic promotion ?

or more to the point will either Cardiff or Leeds be really up for the games ?

Watford.

hull

I hope Watford get 2nd, but i think sadly Hull will get it.

I dont think Hull will go up out of the playoffs , so it really is a due or die game on saturday . The fact it means little to Cardiff in terms of having to win may go in Hulls favour but sadly i dont think they will win .

Haven't scored in 3 games have they Kenny?

Bottled it against Bristol and Barnsley maybe playing a so called bigger side will inspire them

Yeah if Hull don't go up automatically then they won't go up through the play offs and will remain in the championship IMO, however if Watford don't go up automatically then they will win the play offs because they are better than the other sides in the play offs.

It's been Hulls problem for the last few seasons from the games i have seen , they don't have a goal scorer other then Fryatt . They should of bought Billy Sharp when they had the chance ( and he wanted to come ) last season .

If they do manage to go up it needs sorting 2 strikers in at least , i dont think they need to go daft money wise ....maybe look at Kevin Doyle or Charlie Austin or even Sharp again .

Think Watford will beat Leeds, not sure on the other game.

Think Brighton will win the play offs.
Not fussed if they're not the best team.
Just have a feeling they'll do it.

I love you.

They've certainly got momentum and form on there side West.
Will be fascinating as always

just saw on skysports both Hull and Watfords games are on live from 12 noon saturday

Will that be 12pm kick offs Kenny?

Think it will be 12.45 pm like all the rest , but not sure as the results only really effect those two

All Championship games are 12:45

If Forest and Bolton win and palace lose they have blown the play off spot

COME ON FOREST BOLTON AND PETERBROUGH!

sheez only a draw..

now we have to draw against petebourgh that need points for survival!!

the only way we wont get in to the play offs is if leicester and bolton win and we lose.

a draw is enough and at least its in our hands- at least the point has taken forest out of the equation for us

This was Palaces easy chance, Millwall are dire.

Peterborough will not lie down

I assume you mean Leicester not Forest Myst

yes off course

switch forest and leicester round in my post in both cases

Peterborough are on a good run of form, I'd fancy them to pick up something at Palace

If Palace don't finish in the play offs, i don't care who goes up. The fact they have gone from not only throwing the title away but from bottling a play off spot, will be good enough for me.

yeah i agree olly, peterbourgh are in good form- i like the team anyway and allways have done. I wont them to stay up- i would be happy enough with a draw tbh

How on earth isn't forest vs Leicester not on sky

Rivals battling for the final play off spot!

yeah i would have liked to see that game..

what games are on?

Cardiff vs Hull and Watford vs Leeds mate

neither are as worthy,,

what have leeds or cardiff got to play for..

palace peterbourgh and forrest leicester mean something for both teams

Theres a very distinct chance that game will be meaningless

I cant believe the promotion wins over the relegation battle! They could have had about four games on near the bottom and it would always be interesting at at least one of them! Palace n Pboro, Millwall n Derby, Hudds n Barnsley and Wednesday n Boro. I'm probably gonna have to avoid this part of the forum during the playoffs, theres a couple sides I really dont want to go up and I will only anger people who support them!

Brighton seemed to be hated by a lot of people on here, so feel free to say anything bad about them Chris!

Its not really Brighton persay...

Nobody on here hates Brighton Nick. It's all in your head. I wouldn't mind seeing Brighton and Poyet in the PL. Good luck to your boys.

no one hates brighton- not even me(palace fan!!)- ok yep i may be the only one

Its just your posting style that makes you think your team is hated!!

I don't hate Leicester.

Derby sure.
