Championship 2023/24

[top1whoisman]

Kicks off with promoted Sheffield Wednesday hosting relegated Southampton tonight at 20:00 BST.

Looking forward to an interesting season. Leeds have lost half their team on loan abroad. Leicester & Southampton might still lose some key players before the window shuts.

Carrick & McKenna in the same league.

Expecting a lot of PL players to arrive on loan during the next few weeks. Hopefully a couple from us too.

Difficult to predict as usual. Coventry lost Gyökeres, Sarr & Pedro left Watford. I’d say the relegated teams (So’ton & Leicester specifically) have a good chance of coming straight back up, depending on who they can hold on to.

Southampton ahead. Tella.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

That was some finish.

 

[saik]

Amad and Antony's trademark goal.

 

[Santos J]

Be a long night for Wednesday this

 

[Robbie Boy]

Tella is a good player. Looked great at Burnley last season too.

 

[Ajr]

Be a long night for Wednesday this

Difference looks like PL vs League One to me

 

[maximus419]

Really surprised no team has come in for Alcaraz for soton. Looks a level above anyone else on the pitch, he's wasted in championship.

 

[Castia]

Southampton looking really good

80% possession and look very dangerous

 

[Gavinb33]

Southampton look miles ahead of Wednesday here, Russell Martin is known for his progressive coaching and possession based football

 

[Offside]

Saints looking very good.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

a Palace or someone should be after Walker Peters

His issues lie with the defensive side of his game.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

didn’t know they’d let Darren Moore go, twats

 

[chris123]

Southampton and Leicester are both just going to be far too good for this level aren't they?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

didn’t know they’d let Darren Moore go, twats

I only heard a couple of weeks back. Really shocked by it.

 

[Idxomer]

Yep, I could see Southampton average something like 75% possession with those players and Russell Martin as their manager.

 

[Santos J]

Difference looks like PL vs League One to me

Pretty much is squad wise, Wednesday haven’t really invested at all

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Wednesday equalise. 1-1.

 

[IRELANDUNITED]

Lavia can’t even get into Southampton’s team and Liverpool want to spend 85 million on him

 

[Utd heap]

Connect the dots.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Don Goodman is great

 

[Solius]

Hopefully these timewasting cards stay and they don’t just give up on it after two weeks.

 

[One Night Only]

Poor result for Southampton this

 

[Solius]

Poor result for Southampton this

Jinxed it.

 

[Chip]

1-2 Adams

 

[AltiUn]

9 minutes injury time?!

 

[IRELANDUNITED]

Connect the dots.

Yes but 125m for a championship sub seems excessive.

 

[Utd heap]

Yes but 125m for a championship sub seems excessive.

Hilarious stuff mate fair play

 

[One Night Only]

Sky sports are atrocious today for the scores, wrong graphics up all over the shop

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

QPR 4-0 already

 

[Dirty Schwein]

I miss this thread

 

[JB08]

QPR are shite. What a mess of a football club. Ainsworth surely odds on for first sacking.

 

[paulscholes18]

QPR 4-0 already

Thought that QPR were going to be 4-0 up not getting beaten 4-0

 

[Semper Fudge]

Thought that QPR were going to be 4-0 up not getting beaten 4-0

It does read like that yeah.

After completely blowing making the playoffs during both of the last 2 seasons (we should have cruised to a top 6 finish both times and probably finished 3rd last season), I don’t think we have any chance of making it this season, and the best we can hope for is mid-table mediocrity.

Still a very pleasing performance and opening win vs. West Brom yesterday, with a 19 year old striker that came through our youth academy, and 21 year old winger that we signed from Tottenham 18 months ago, scoring the goals.

I’ve said this before, but essentially we have a mid-table Championship standard senior squad, and a mid-table Premier League standard youth academy / set-up. I think we should throw caution to the wind and give as much playing time to our very talented youngsters as possible.

Tell me more about Kaminski. Is he decent?

Didn't watch the game, only the highlights, but WBA could have easily got two penalties.

 

[Champ]

Leicester are a far better side with Vardy off the pitch,
