Championship 24/25

[Neal]

At deepdale tonight, I run my son's footy team and they're taking pens at HT. Atmosphere dead and full of empty seats. They have absolutely no reason to shoot their mouths of about us.

Especially when they've only got single tier stands.

What a dire game of football this is between PNE and Millwall.

They’ve lost their cup final already. They’ve nothing else to play for.

Nob End is, always has been, and always will be, a nothing club.

A bit harsh on unconscious old drunks

[Exiled_Rover]

Soft, soft, soft goal to concede by PNE.

The GK should be doing much better with that FK - his positioning was awful.

Given Millwall still have all of the top four to play it could be worth them winning this one out of the two, rivalries aside

Alex Neil will be dancing

Nah, a draw is the ideal result. Preferably a draw with a few key injuries.

Yes. Especially that racist thug Osmajic

A draw it was

2 very organised teams not giving up much to each other. I'm very biased of course but I wouldn't swap any player that I saw on that pitch tonight for any of ours. 

 

Good goal from Riis tbf. He's a bit of a donkey at the same time he'd be a decent signing on a free considering we have feck all money to spend. 

 

One thing I'll give to Preston... They make more of an effort with their ground than our lot do. Not neglected like our shower in charge. 

 

I left bored at 70 mins. Absolutely fucking freezing.

I thought the RWB PNE had on loan from Villa looked very useful.

Kesler-Hayden on loan from Villa. Decent player, gets forwards well, a very modern full back. Couldn't understand why they didn't start Frokjaer, always looks decent.

Championship midweeks are now desolate places with every game on TV - no travelling fans and a load of ST holders serve it… but it’s what the clubs wanted.

[Upside Down]

You can tell that pears and kaminski both learnt to kick at the same place.

[Upside Down]

Both these teams are absolutely awful.

[Ricky]

Derby down to second bottom now 

[BRFC4EVA]

I know plymouth have equalised, but I'd be worried about Luton if I were Derby. Their players are alot better then their position suggests. You'd think they'd put a run of 2 or 3 wins in a row at some stage and get clear, which then leaves who else?

[AspRover]

I'd still happily have kaminski back if Luton go down though. They can keep Bell, though I'll admit that the thought that he got to be a premier league player for a season does give me hope I might make it as an astronaut or something one day

[Upside Down]

That was an awful game. I can see why both those teams are down at the bottom of the league.

I think Hull pull away from that pack. Luton could easily go on a run (although they've failed to do so all season).

Derby are in a world of trouble I think - Eustace deserves MOTS if he drags them out of relegation after leaving us 5th.

In Youtube style, "I saw Derby's run in and I was shocked".

The betting odds have shortened to 8/11, which is buying money.

1. Millwall @home 

2. Middlesborough away

3. Rovers @home

4. Coventry @home

5. Plymouth away

6. Preston @home

7. Swansea away 

8. Dingles @home

9. Portsmouth away

10. Luton @home

11. West Brom away

12. Hull away

13. Stoke @home

They'll be lucky to get 8 points from that lot. "Big club" and all that. Your off to League One.

Load of games against relegation rivals, doesn't look unsurmountable to me, I certainly wouldn't be taking them at odds on.
