[That Fat Centre Half]

Whenever the criticism of Bayo ramps up just that additional notch he seems to go and score a couple of goals to stop it. One of those streaky infuriating strikers it seems, not unlike Adebayo in that respect.

Yes even yestrday he did some frustrating things but as you say scored (second a foul potentially - not by Bayo)

Mind you Jebbison looked totally lost when he came on so no wonder he hadn’t played much .

QPR away on Saturday.

We're both on 6 game-unbeaten runs, it reeks of another fucking draw.

Imagine it'll be Thordarson in for Ben Whiteman and Sam Greenwood back in for Will Keane.

Woodman
Potts - Storey - Lindsay - KKH
Thordarson - McCann
Greenwood - Frokjaer - Brady
Osmajic

Derby at home for us tomorrow. The away form is so bad that every home game has become must win and this is no different.

I think Hashiokas performance at LCB last week is what has sparked this temporary signing of Pieters, although id be surprised if he played right away. Absolutely damning inditement of the recruitment and shocking management of the squad that he has been signed as a stop gap player for the Christmas period.

Edwards seems to have hit on a relatively small group of players recently that he trusts so id expect a similar 11 to recent weeks.

Hopefully Collins gets a good reception.

Late late show by Luton.

A massive turn around.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Terrible game. 2 really poor sides, can’t have been many neutrals who toughed out the first 10 minutes let alone been around to see the last 10 minute turnaround.

Can’t believe Edwards kept Moses and Chong at LWB and RWB for so long in the game. Playing both on opposite sides just removed any potential for fluency in the play. The amount of times they both received the ball with their back to the play and could only hook a ball straight down the middle of the pitch was unbelievable. Finally got better when he finally switched Chong but why so long?

As I said after the pathetic display of Walsh last week, Pelly hasn’t let us down ever and has been treated terribly. Comes on today and is a huge part of the turnaround, albeit the goal looks to go in off Holmes.

Would have got ugly I think if it had it not happened. I guess the one thing you can say is that the players clearly still believe in Edwards to keep going

I don’t know how we’re doing it, but we’re churning out these wins at home despite playing very average at best in every match (bar the Watford game).

Perhaps it’s an indictment of this league and some of the dross that’s hovering around the bottom half. Out of nothing they’re now up to 14th place when it feels like they’re playing terribly.

Thought we played reasonably against Stoke tbf but you are totally right, we are somehow making things work at home. I worry its not very sustainable, especially as we totally rely on set pieces essentially. Im hoping the club has something up its sleeve for January because the squad desperately needs some reinvigorating.

Another result and performance that papered over the cracks
Feel sorry for those that left before the end…
Feel more sorry for those that stayed before…

Has there ever been a Friday night Championship game worth watching?

Not many involving us… that’s for sure

Dreadful half at Hillsborough topped off by Bernard getting caught on the ball and bringing the man down, twice. At least he’s got Boxing Day off

Frank Lampard’s Coventry City having a bad day .
Good bounce back by Pompey .

Seems to have made no difference.

Are Stoke that bad ?

They just don’t seem to have much about them, although the wind is horrendous today so it’s hard to judge

We’ve been very fortunate. Beadle saved a penalty and they could easily have had another 2

 

[Super_horns]

Very honest of you!

Stoke seem to be the same each season .

Always mid to lower table .
