Championship 2022/23 Thread

[That Fat Centre Half]

Birmingham look well on the way to full basket case status. Off the pitch owners don’t look great and the stadium is literally crumbling! Probably still inexplicably get 6 points off us though.

Don’t fancy Reading either with Ince at the helm. He didn’t really do any better than Paunovic so was surprised that they decided to offer him the job permanently. I see he’s sorted his son out with a 3 year contract already

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Birmingham first up for us as the fixtures get released, given our record against them last season and the fact I’ve just called them verging on a basket case I think that might be us bottom after the first round of fixtures!

Sunderland "top 6" according to Lee Hendrie... based on what exactly? Stature? Bit disrespectful to those clubs who DID get in the top 6 last season and those finishing above them in L1.

Apart from Sheffield Utd, has any other team got promoted and into the play offs straight away? Let alone one promoted via the L1 play offs.

 

[Super_horns]

Tough start then.

Sheffield U
WBA
Burnley

Pressure will be on straight away .

 

[SF_]

Wigan away is a great game to kick things off for us, should be a full away end.

 

[Super_horns]

Good idea by Reading - how many others will sign up ?

When Reading stop cheating and not paying wages and fees they can ill afford?

They probably know no one will go at silly prices as it’s a nightmare to get to and not that great a ground .

 

[kieran_vale]

They had Lawrence Bassini on Talksport this morning. They look like an administration waiting to happen right now but if he gets anywhere near to taking over they are proper fucked.

 

[Super_horns]

He was a bankrupt twit 13 years ago - let alone now!

God knows how he is still in the game !

 

[BarrieOwl]

He is just a odd odd man

Very sad news. We just recently had a fundraiser for Lenny - Bury legends v Burnley legends. I’m glad that managed to happen before he finally passed away from us. Sleep tight Lenny.

Saw this quoted elsewhere.

"A Preston fan who posted on Twitter asking “will I be ejected if I boo during the minutes silence for the Queen” has been given a lifetime ban by the club".

Must be more to this that just the comment made.

Was plenty of tweets but absolute joke that someone can be banned for comments completely unrelated to the club or even football.

If Burnley had a good striker we would have lost 5-1. The two teams were fucking world's apart. We're much closer to League One than the Prem.

Not sure about a good striker, they barely created anything for all the possession. Shite to watch though.

Rodriguez is still good (not on Tuesday) but if they brought on someone who was quicker and gambled in the six yard box more they would have won comfortably. An Andre Gray of old type.

They were a bit predictable in the second half though and their low passes across the area were lapped up by Lindsay.

That's said, that's one of the best possession-based performances I've seen at this level. Anyone who doesn't sit deep against them will get ripped apart.

No more Go Pro goalie.

Ben Foster has retired .

I wonder if he will go into the media.

BTTS

Absolutely nailed on, probably be about 8/13 I imagine.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Well, we've just been taken over.

What the fuck.

Good news for Coventry.

Staying at the Ricoh (or whatever it’s called now .) for the rest of the season .

Our attendance in the cup against Huddersfield tomorrow could be worse than a Blackpool home crowd.

I can go, but I'm not, not even if it was a £1.
