Championship Season 2020 - 2021

[roversfan99]

Looks like Forest have chucked all of their new signings into the team together. McKenna, Arter, Mbe Soh, Christie, and then Taylor, Freeman and Blackett too. Certainly hasnt been reading the Mowbray text book. Huddersfield have a terrible team on paper.

[chaddyrovers]

How has Hogg not been sent off for that challenge? such a poor challenge

Huddersfield look such a poor team.

Just as bad!

Is this commentator the same muppet that used to call Gestede 'Jestede'? 

Who is 'Frazier' Campbell? Can he not read? It's Fraizer! 

He doesn't even correct himself when his co-commentator and the tannoy in the ground says it right!

Might be wrong but is it Rob Hawthorne (with Andy Hinchcliffe)?

[windymiller7]

Oh, lovely finish from Campbell though! ?

Gary Weaver (I think).

Rob Hawthorne wouldn’t lower himself to the EFL these days.

Forest played 3 lost 3. The game isn't played on paper, certainly not in this crazy division.

Interesting barometer for us in the early kick off.

Swansea, who were pretty much neck and neck with us last season (though a bit better) vs the team we’ve just pummelled.

 

Hoping for a dominant Wycombe win leading to me betting the house on automatic promotion.

[Mattyblue]

Watford/Luton early kick off, as it’s a derby.. for a behind closed doors game ?‍♂️

[roversfan99]

Wycombe really do look like whipping boys in this division.

Seems like Swansea are all over them and already 1-0 up, looks like a very tough season ahead for Wycombe.

Make that 2-0

Swansea 2 up in 23 minutes is putting a perspective on what we did last Saturday.

Extremely fortunate to be in the league. There was a reason why they were 9th in League 1 when the season ended.

Reading doing very well under their new coach and Joao looking good. 

Watford have kept 3 clean sheets in their 1st 3 games. So their new coach has identified that weakness in the summer. 

Wycombe do look very short of quality needed to stay up but I hope they do with Ainsworth being a former Rover.

Yes Reading as a club have the aggressive mentality which could make them an unexpected package. Their away wins at Cardiff and Derby aren't too shabby and while Barnsley were reduced to 9, they still needed beating. The loan of Gibson from Everton could be very handy and Joao always has goals in him.

Anyone heard Alex Neil's comments complaining about clubs making signings and he can't. Plus clubs spending money who have deferred wages.

Should probably have a look at his youth team.

[philipl]

Just glanced at October's six fixtures.

They will really give us a sense of how strong (or not) we are in the Championship this season.

Cardiff H

Forest H

Watford A

Coventry A

Reading H

Swansea A

Throw in an international break and those last five games are two per week.

Oh some Luton Twitter warriors said they were going to deface the Graham Taylor statue at the ground, plus some were allegedly going to go to Watford etc etc..

Anyone on the Facebook championship site knows what I mean....

Johnson and Armstrong in whoscored.com Championship of the Month. Head and shoulders above the rest.

Johnson player of month. Good start from Rovers so far!

Poor old Josh King missing with a migraine.

Danjuma who has impressed me enormously totally missing tonight.

£14m man Lerma has just scored for Bournemouth in Birmingham. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Bournemouth look the best of the relegated sides for me.

Wayne Rooney has been an embarrassment today.

Plodding around the pitch, overweight... really sad to see.

 

Then steps up and pops in what looks like the winner.

Maybe Derby aren’t as bad as we thought?

Although I haven't seen all the game what I have seen is that Norwich look poor and suffering from a PL hangover. Their gaffer might be one of the first managerial casualties of the season.
