Championship 22-23 (35 Viewers)

Thank god they've signed a couple of forwards ...Forss plus someone else I can't remember recently. Otherwise I'd have been worried about Gyo

On the flip side Middlesbrough are really splashing the cash. They could in theory be a massive force this season. Got a right twat in Wilder in charge as well.

Well if we had spent anything like that sum we’d be certainly banging on about a promotion charge.

Lot of signings and a new style of football

Be interesting if it meshes early on

As a manager his track record's pretty damned impressive, mind.

it is, but it'll be interesting to see how he can take a team formerly managed by Warnock and bring in such things as overlapping centre backs.

tbf, he has the personnel, and he's always shown himself as pragmatic, using the tools he has. Also got one of the best chairmen out there... but said chairman doesn't always get the management decisions right.

A lot of these clubs splashing cash / in receipt of parachute payments

Sheff utd
M'boro
Burnley
Watford
West Brom
Norwich

Even if the 3 promoted clubs come from the above, that's 3 clubs who will feel they have underperformed, given their activity. A few wannabes beneath in Luton, QPR etc. To be honest, the only reason I'd want to get promoted is for the money that would change the club, rather than the 'playing Liverpools etc'. Give me last season (in terms of entertainment) on repeat and i'd be happy - although we know that it's difficult to 'stand still'. Steady progress is fine, but at some point, something integral has to happen for us to make significant progress (Tayo as the new Djed Spence would do for starters!)

It might take a bit of time but they’ll rightly expect to be up there at the end

McNeil gone to Everton for 20m.

Does this mean a renewed effort for oHare?

If they come back with a proper offer then probably but we shouldn’t be bullied into giving our better players away because it suits Mekon at Burnley.

£20 million for a very mediocre and limited player in my opinion. I guess that's the Premier league though.

young and moldable

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Everton are desperate for players and no decent ones will be going there.

I think middlesbrough will be in with a shout for top 2 this season

 

[skyblueelephant76]

He's now signed a new 3 year contract at Oxford and had the release clause removed.

Tiny squad and barely improved it. Highly doubtful for me

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Bizarre line-up from Burnley for their first game. LB at CB with two CBs on the bench, four CMs in the starting line up and a kid from the youth team preferred over £4m Twine.

Huddersfield, one of my favourite away days last season , really nice people

That Burnley team doesn't look much to worry about

 

[Evo1883]

Quite a local ish Derby really , 44 miles between them

 

[Tommo1993]

Kompany to not last the season.

TBF that winger from their academy is very highly rated. Other than that it’s quite bizarre.

 

[Tommo1993]

And Burnley’s kit is dogshit

Never let your missus stop you from going to the football.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Burnley look shit.

 

[Tommo1993]

Foul throw! Yes! Stamp down on that shit

 

[Evo1883]

It would really annoy sky if burnley lost tonight

 

[Evo1883]

Probably a penalty haha

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Welcome to the Championship, Burnley. First blatant pen missed of the season, only took 9 minutes.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Maatsen gash so far.

No change then.

Commentators casually saying it wasn’t a pen as if everyone would unanimously agree. He’s slid in, taken him down and not taken the ball. Of course it’s a pen!
