2024-25 Championship Match Day Thread

[David Curries Mullet]

Risky strategy, only turning up for games you believe you can win. Have to hope it doesn't come down to goal difference.

And didn't pay off in the end anyway. Hope he doesn't try it too often.

Luton bringing their own referee to Hillsborough and making it Lucky 13 i suspect this weekend...

Plastics away on Friday night, on Sky. We'd have sold out on a Saturday 3pm, but expecting between 5,000-6,000 for this.

Their form has dropped off a cliff but they're not a bad side this year, we're going well though and looking to make it 3 wins in 3.

I think Ledson in for Greenwood will be the only change unless Meghoma injured himself slipping. In that case, Robbie Brady will probably start in his place.

Osmajic has to play, he'll get booed to fuck and he'll absolutely love it.

Sold 6,500-6,600 for this. Decent.

Hoping we continue our decent record at Ewood. I want an Osmajic goal.

That's one of the worst decisions I've ever fucking seen. It's a head collision.

We've been crap but the referee had just handed them the game, these twats needs sacking.

 

[Super_horns]

Just seemed to be an accident really .

No intent to head butt the Blackburn player .

Proved to be decisive .

 

[SF_]

And denied an obvious penalty in the 97th minute to equalise. Fucking unbelievable

 

[Super_horns]

Paul Heckingbottom talking like a man who got sent off the other week ..

Being very diplomatic!

 

[SF_]

Our coach Peter Murphy got sent off in the tunnel.

Can't believe we didn't even get added time for the Potts injury. The ref knew he fucked up and just wanted to get to the dressing room.

Luton at home

I’m confident, so that usually means we will lose

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Am pretty confident we will lose but I’d like to see some of the new faces getting a go. You’d normally want to slowly bed them in but I guess we don’t have that luxury.

I’ve sort of written this off now and just want to see a new way of playing forming and some positive impacts from the new players. Looking at the fixtures we have until the end of the season I think we are destined for the drop anyway so just want to see some structure forming - we haven’t had one all season

 

[Super_horns]

Main take from that is we looked better and more organised with 10 men !

Shame we hardly had any attackers to bring on .

Another defeat though and probably more pressure on TC.

 

[Tea Towel]

Poor first half really highlighting our lacklustre attacking play at home

Rohl’s not scared to make subs, can see a couple coming at HT

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Nice to not lose for once, but we are awful. Think I had more hope of saving ourselves in the Graeme Jones Covid season than I do now

 

[Tea Towel]

Really ought to have won that. Certainly a better point for Luton than ourselves

17 shots in the second half compared to 1 all first half yet only a penalty goal to show for it

On the game itself I’d agree on the basis of the second half, always felt like we might lose that.

On a seasonal basis the point is however a bit useless to us when looking at our coming fixtures.

God. Burnley are the most boring time wasting side I've seen in ages. No wonder they don't conceded goals they bore the opposition to death! Seriously though a really good performance and with better finishing we'd have beaten them. Got away with a potential hand ball. But Roberts should have got a 2nd yellow in the first half. Trafford is an exceptional gk, but is a properr wind up merchant and time waster.

They need to start scoring again otherwise will be out of the top 2.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Tough ask away at West Brom but our away form this season has been pretty good, a win would put us above them and results depending into the top six.

Attacking wise we look pretty good and are excellent on the break, only 4 have scored more than us this season, it's the other end of the pitch which remains a struggle as we have conceded more than every club bar 4.

Albion lost last week at Plymouth so will be desperate to address that but hopefully the GK issues will be in our favour.

Our run up the international break doesn't look good on paper if we want to fluke into the PO's

Again another big question mark above our team selection for the away trip to Sheffield United with a huge game at home to Cardiff lurking on Tuesday followed by another big match away at Oxford next Saturday. We've gone from having a squad with 1 championship standard CB to now having 3 and Ryler Towler (who can do a job) Also we now have some better bench alternatives than we did prior to the windows. I think Mous will rotate, but it should hopefully be less lambs to the slaughter. We may still lose and the gulf in spending power is crazy when Sheff united can bring in Cannon for £13 and Diaz on loan from our rivals. If we can have a solid back 4 and no go under if/when we concede the first goal we may be able to sneak a draw. Some touch choices for the coaching staff to make
