Championship and Football League

So they’ve won then?

Well done, I hope some players do take the knee, I encourage QPR players who feel strongly against it, sad as Colchester have come out strongly and call those booing irrelevant and been told to stay away.

Yup, I think I preferred the Colchester chairman who said they don’t belong in their ground.

Good to see the top 3 are generally 3 teams that I felt added to the league, shame about Watford in 4th.

Glad to see Brentford haven’t been destroyed by the closeness of last season.

Wednesday failed to make payroll (partial payment only), struggling on the pitch, and starting down a January transfer embargo. It would not shock me to see Pulis walk away, he seems the sort to manage his own image very carefully, and his ‘brand’ would be badly damaged by a relegation.

He could consider a move crosstown to SU. Wouldn’t have to change condos. Not sure his tactics would be enough there either.

Pulis out at Wednesday, after 10 games. I suspect it is an outcome he wanted, given the payroll issues there.

Canos in last matches has 4 goals and 2 assists.
But before that 15 matches, 0 goals and 0 assists.
He seems to be in good form now. Hope he carries this on.

I don’t follow Brentford that closely, but from what I can gather he seems to ba a patch player.

Goes through a patch of games when he is almost unplayable, but then will drop off and have a patch where he is fairly bog-standard before hitting another patch where he comes good again.

I think Brentford themselves are a patchy team. For the third season running, they are having a serious go at promotion. But they don’t seem to carry that form till the end.

Anyone wondered why so many clubs during lockdown have stuck to the rigid evening kick off times, a few have dropped to 6 and 7 but say if you played 3pm or 2pm you’d surely save money on lights and heating amongst other things.

If they are televised fair enough but really puzzles me a bit, dunno what the up take is for fans but meh.

Just finished up Sheffield Wednesday-Derby.

Pedestrian first half—although Derby had a number of scoring opportunities. Wednesday took over the second half and managed to pull out a 1-0 win.

They are out of relegation for the moment, which after getting 12 then 6 point deductions, is quite the feat.

And anytime I can see Wayne Rooney sour, is a plus!

All the more likeable because they sacked Pulis this week

Not surprised, as someone pointed out in the comments though, they could have finished last season instead of rushing to get this one started.

I saw this guy play against our U-23s nearly 4 years ago. We had a very strong team out that day (Grabara, Randall, Phillips, Gomez, Trent, Stewart, Grujic, Ojo, Wilson, Woodburn and Brewster) and ran out 5-1 winners but this guy really impressed up against Trent.

Certainly cheaper in terms of wages than Alaba. If Bayern are really interested he must be quite good - does he play in a way that could work for us though?

The f*ck is this name of Cardiff’s right back? Perry Ng?

Full name: Perry Tian Hee Ng. :joy:

This guy was missing at Liverpool when we had N’Gog, Ngoo and Amoo.
