2024-25 Championship Match Day Thread

[Super_horns]

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.

 

[David Curries Mullet]

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

 

[Don Tonberry]

As our game was called off due to Blackburn being tinpot, I went to Preston vs Derby instead. First half was League One standard barring the header for PNE's opener, second half was absolute dross.

Based on their last two showings, if we can't finish above Preston then we absolutely deserve relegation. Not convinced Derby won't get dragged into the mire at some point either. It's a very tight division at both ends.

 

[Tea Towel]

Be surprised if the Hull boss is still there come Saturday

We should have been 3 up after 20 minutes if we could hit the target. Second half wasn’t great as we sat back and let them have it but I can see why we did. They are very poor

Terrible. Again. The only thing more disgraceful than our performance was the Wednesday fans booing of Kasey Palmer. Presumably they wanted to show their support for racist abuse. Shabby.

 

[Super_horns]

Sorry City fans .

We well and truly mugged you .

Not sure how we won that .

Our keeper was MOTM.

Aye that’s not a great look

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Leeds away for us tonight. Have a few injured back apparently so squad must be the healthiest it’s been in about a year although Doughty out is a huge problem.

Still, no chance we come away with anything here I don’t think. We also have Norwich away on Saturday who just put 6 passed Plymouth, so could be a tough week for us

Or the fact we have had previous with Palmer that wasn't racial and he is a wind up merchant, God forbid we boo someone, bit like you lot booing Windass it's part of football.

Racism has no place in football or society in general but not everything is racist or intended as so.

Hull are wank by the way, its such a decline in a short space of time.
