Championship 2017/18

Don't think Coleman was being malicious at worst he's probably just a poor judge of character. Maybe that's why people like Agnew were kept around for so long. BFS is the one I believe who stated he apologised.

Michael Gray saying Short should spend 15-20 million in January . Yeah that's gonna happen. I don't think he ever told the Walker family influenced trust to spend during his time here but I guess even he wasn't that unrealistic.

Well he is right tbh. 

Sunderland under Short have been going downhill for years. 

Expect Coleman to go for 3 or 4 players he knows from Wales days

Another bumper crowd at Preston as 11,290 pack Dumpdale to the rafters.

Hull City sack Leonid Slutsky

[JHRover]

Adkins, Lambert, Megson and Pulis the favourites for Hull.

What a line-up. The good, the bad and the ugly covered there. Pulis would be their best best I reckon

Pulis would get them up eventually.

cant see Pulis taking the Hull City job. 

Lambert not interested according to Alan Nixon. 

Megson would be a decent choice but Adkins still odds on and it has been reported that he been at the last few Hull City games

[roversfan99]

Megson, decent?

[bazza]

Ask any Bolton fan.  Megson is utterly useless.

Decent record. 

Organised the team and that what Hull City need is a manager/head coach to organise them properly. 

Adkins the clear favourite tho.

Wasnt it Coyle who took them down?

Rhodes scores for Sheffield Wednesday against Norwich. Against Grant Hanley too.

[Tom]

Wow had no idea Hanley was at Norwich, is that a loan?

He's an absolute donkey though he had a couple of good seasons.

[Mattyblue]

Downing, Smallwood, Bennett, Dack, Samuel/Graham/Nuttall, Whittingham?

Plus a Scot and an Irishman. Sometimes a Northern Irishman over Whitts, another Scot instead of Bennett.

So usually 8 out of 11 are British and Irish, not particularly extraordinary...

Was going to post the same. English clubs have always had a large contingent of Irish and Scots anyway. The only regular overseas players we have are Raya and Antonnson and we only own one of them.

Very true. Makes you wonder what Mowbray was scared of earlier in the season I think we'll do ok in the Championship if we get there, we can hit teams on the break home and away because teams will attack us more.

Sorry lads, I was bored, and I don't really know what my point was. 

Wolves look good for the league title, based on last night's match. For a net summer spend of £15m, that's quite a bargain. They clearly brought in the right bunch of Portuguese players. If you're going to do that, then do it properly, eh Rovers? Vinagre's performance left Wednesday in a right pickle.

Rhodes was quiet, but João (another Portuguese) was about the only Wednesday player who caused problems for Wolves when he came on.  He's definitely a talented player.

Watching that match was also a reminder of the difference in quality of football between the Championship and League One. No room for complacency if we do go up and want to make an impact. At the moment, we've got it as easy as I think I'll ever see Rovers have it.

Reading the report in my paper Rhodes was subbed after an hour. Injured or just nor at the races ?
