Why where they fiddling their accounts though?If they weren't overspending then no need to mess around with their accounts surely?

I agree that it does nothing for the integrity of the league if a number of teams start the season with points deductions but at the same time these clubs have had an unfair advantage on others the past 3 seasons by overspending. Like I said not a fan of FFP and think a club owner should be allowed spend what they want but the clubs voted these rules in. Surely covid is being taken into account when these calculations are made?

If any of those clubs are over the limit they will be sanctioned otherwise every other the club in the league will start ignoring the rules. If they are using dodgy accounting then surely they were in breach of the rules otherwise no need for any dodgy accounting. Doesn't matter how respected the owners are, other clubs who kept within the rules will be launching legal proceedings against the EFL . It's clear the rules are being taken a lot more serious in the last couple of seasons

If they have overspent then they should be hit with sanctions both points deductions and transfer embargoed wether it makes a mockery of the league or not. Ffp Is a joke and should be abolished but while it is in place then clubs should be punished for breaking the rules.

Bristol City , Middlesbrough and Stoke and a few others could be starting next season with points deductions due to FFP. https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/bristol-city-think-seven-more-championship-clubs-could-be-deducted-points-for-ffp-breaches-317692?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=FootballJOE&utm_campaign=feed

A loss for QPR and a draw at home to Hull for Sheffield United. QPR still have to play us away, Forest, Fulham , Sheffield United twice, Stoke away If we can beat Millwall and beat QPR the week after I don't see them finishing above us.I don't see QPR beating us at Ewood but admittedly our attack and Rothwell need to move up a gear What result are ye guys hoping for on Friday night? Bournemouth v Forest? A Forest win gets us closer to 2nd spot or a Bournemouth win gives a bit more comfort in the top 6?

54?.We have played Fulham once and lost, played Bournemouth away and won, played QPR away lost, played Huddersfield home and away lost away and drew at home and Boro we have played twice drawing away and winning at home. Just below the top 6 forest we have played twice 1 win each.Sheffield United we have played once and we won. Prior to the Swansea game we had the best record in the the league against bottom half teams, after Fulham we play one team in the top 10 in our final ten games. We look a bit stale at the minute but there were some signs last night that we were starting to click a little with the attacking side of our game.

3rd or 4th. We are struggling at the minute but the last 10 games on paper looks a decent run in. The other teams in the play offs and knocking on the door of the playoffs have to play against eachother. I fancy us to pick up 3 points v Millwall then 3 tough games Sheffield United, QPR and Fulham after that with the exception of Bournemouth we don't play anymore playoff contenders.

Dack has scored again

Buckley isn't suspended for this is he?

Agents and younger players must like to work with Mowbray look how many younger players he has had under him that have gone on to better things. Armstrong he worked with at Coventry before here and he got a big move to the Premier League.Brererton after a few years developing looks like another that will move for big money.Maddison when he was at Coventry. City loaning us Tosin, then Bellis.Last season Harvey Elliot from Klopp. We don't pay the wages that established players are accustomed too and that's what is stopping us getting established players in imo. Take Dembele as an example he will be getting paid on par or above our highest earner we couldn't justify to the rest of the squad putting him amongst our higher earners. I feel Mowbray is weak tactically and he (apart from this season) likes to work with big squads less quality more numbers which I disagree with and is extremely stubborn but I do think generally he has done well overall with transfers and I'd be surprised if working with him isn't a pull for younger players.

Great news

Started it last night.Enjoyable.Thanks

Was it worth the watch? Looking for something to watch. Finished Kin an Irish gangland drama very very good

Apparently we made an offer for Forss but Brentford and the player wanted more of a guarantee playing time which we couldnt offer, unless we think the likes of Forrs should have been given those guarantees. It was a difficult window for us to navigate as unless we had mega bucks to bring in a game changer then our options were going to be limited. In for Dembele too but Bournemouth offered him a deal on more than our highest earner how could we justify to the rest of the squad making Dembele amongst our highest earners when he has hardly any track record at Championship level and has 30 career goals to his name.

Bullshit on Nyambe but at least the bench and starting line up stronger than Saturday

It was dry prior to an hour before the Huddersfield game, it rained heavy for half hour pre match and the pitch was in shocking condition

The pitch will be in shit tomorrow night

He went to Leicester, although I think Everton were in fit him too. Was captain of Leicester u-23 but I think he went on loan to Cheltenham

We have Brererton and Khedra on the bench so once we keep things tight ourselves then they can be called upon if need be. In a couple of weeks when a couple are back both our first 11 and bench will be looking quite strong. 3 points be massive tonight, keep some distance between ourselves and the chasing pack.Come on lads

Brererton on bench

It will be our defence that decides our outcome.When you keep clean sheets as regularly as we do then have a very good chance. With the exception of last weekends game QPR have hardly been freescoring. Before last weekends thumping of Reading QPR had only scored 3 goals in their previous 6 home matches.

Its in our hands too...we have them both to play at Ewood.Obviously we won't but if we were to win every game from now we would go up and nothing QPR and Bournemouth could do about it

They have to win those games.Points in the bag.We are second. Plus we play both at Ewood, which we have made a fortress.
