2024-25 Championship Match Day Thread

2 great goals from Gray, feels like it’s only really Watford where he hasn’t been quite a reliable source of goals in his career. Everywhere else including his recent stint at QPR and abroad he’s done reasonably well goals wise.

Bayo should have won the game for Watford with his 1v1 chance though.

Yes that was a poor miss/good save and we had a couple of others on the break.

Trouble is we sat back and invited pressure as well which always leads to one chance or a moment of magic.

TBF to Gray he did sign for us in the Premier league with a hefty fee paid out which hardly helped - maybe Championship is his level?

Then when we did go down he got a few goals but also got caught breaking the COVID rules twice which didn't go down well.

Disappointing today

Cardiff are garbage but as usual we struggled breaking them down

Too slow and predictable

Well we won, quite fortunate Hull missed 3 really good chances. We didn’t look like scoring outside of set pieces.

I’d take Drameh back here, played out of position and thought he was one of the better players on the pitch

But win is a win, much needed going into the next 2 where I’d be extremely surprised if we managed to come away with anything.

That game was ugly... like pure filth, which isn't uncharacteristic in recent weeks. Hull probably deserved a point on balance as they hit the post and had a deflected shot at Kaminski's legs late on.

Mark McGuinness is definitely improving in the last couple of months; deserved his goal as well as his international debut at Wembley. Probably a bit unlucky not to have a second. Getting a bit more dominant in both boxes which is a good sign.

We're still not fluid by any means and I don't think the international break has been the magic spark needed. Two away trips coming up - I don't think we'll get much out of Leeds on Wednesday, but a bit more hopeful for Norwich next weekend.

Two bald men, and one wrestled control of the comb, just.

Yes a little bit. Appreciate it’s cold comfort but I was impressed with the football you played. At least there was a clear plan and direction to things, for us I couldn’t really tell you what the plan was to actually create anything outside of set pieces.

Game of margins and a bit, ifs and buts…but, you created 3 really guilt edged chances that should have been taken plus were very unlucky that the deflected shot at the end went to Kaminski.

We could be having a very different conversation this morning about what a commanding and controlled performance from you, limiting us to just a single set piece and could have won by a few more goal without a heck of a lot being different about the game other than a couple of inches.

Happens most weeks, we control possession, pass the ball nicely, get into the final third, and nothing much happens. When it does, we miss easy chances.

Boro really hitting their stride last few games. Finally taking their chances. Wouldn't count them out of automatic race.
