2024-25 Championship Match Day Thread

Well what can you say?

We usually get one of these mad away games once a season.

Credit to Bayo - so clinical.

TBH it sounded like we weren't that great first half but 2 penalties so quickly deflated you.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Unbelievable that Bayo has managed to score 4 goals. Looked awful at our place!

He is pretty rubbish really.

Tries hard and moves around but never looks like scoring.

Only scored 3 goals in a year!

TBH as Tea Towel says SW could have been 2 up or so at half time but we just got away with it or managed to turn in a performance after the break.

Scoring 2 goals so quickly no doubt boosted the confidence.

We are 5th but not sure we played like a top 6 side - got to take it though!

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

You managed to put in a performance away from home finally as well though. You’ve really had some strange games this year

West Brom are 6th and I thought they were pretty poor on Friday night, not that we were very good either. I don’t think you have to THAT good to be in and around the playoffs this year it seems to me (which makes us look all the worse)

 

[Tea Towel]

I think from our games this year, the only two teams I’ve thought really played us off the park are Leeds and Sunderland who are coincidentally the top two. Burnley were decent but not on the same level as the other two

This league is wide open if someone can put a good run together

EDIT - seems strange saying that after 2-6 tonking! But as Super Horns says, should have been up at half time but the two penalties 5 minutes made our heads fall off

Yes agree not too many really good teams this season.

Or ones in consistent form.

Play-offs could be competitive in terms of the last 2 positions.

Still probably be the 3 relegated sides and Sunderland as the top 4 though.

Absolutely robbed by the officials yet again, but still a shite defensive performance.

Perfectly good goal disallowed at Burnley to deny us 2pts and Bristol City gifted the lead by a blatant handball.

If every club doesn't have VAR then the Prem shouldn't. Elitism.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

The handball by Yu was unbelieveable, can believe the officials didnt spot that. Even looked pretty sheepish running off celebrating

Side point i noticed watching the highlights this morning: whats with all the Japanese players now suddenly at this level?

Feels like there are suddenly loads of them now, Yu at Bristol City, Hashioka here, Sakamoto at Coventry, Saito at QPR, Ohashi at Blackburn, Tanaka at Leeds and pretty sure Stoke have a Japanese too. Easier to get Work Permits for them post Brexit or what?

The amount of times you’ve shithoused us over the years, I think we were due a shocker in our favour.

Don't remember us ever being gifted a goal for nothing.

Should probably be a retrospective ban for the Japanese guy for cheating.

Glass houses and all that. I remember Ched Evans punching Alex Scott when the ball was gone, Cunningham being the c*** that he is, Daniel Johnson feigning a head injury at every opportunity.

Bottom of the fair play table for a reason.

Probably right with that last line.

Certainly got away with one there.

You been festering over that for years? Evans clearly didn't punch anyone or he'd have got a retrospective ban.

Wouldn't class game management, that single club does, as flat out cheating like the guy on Saturday.

He certainly punched something on this occasion…

The fact that you signed this c*** in the first place sums you lot up anyway.

Eh? It rebounds off his shoulder. It hits Riis's hand.

And, ha, are you still at school? Guy was acquitted yet served years anyway. Was a good player and character here, glad he's still on the coaching team.

 

[Super_horns]

After Saturday's goal fest probably 0-0 or 1-0...

Sunderland tomorrow, I'd be surprised if we get anything, although I do expect their form to drop off at some point.

Seeing Browne in another shirt will be bizarre.
