The Championship 17/18

[1964white]

Interesting to read Harry's comment after yesterday's game . "To be honest we've been outplayed in every game". Reckons he's been after Stewart Downing for 4 months.

Harry will be getting his 4 x 4 out for the Sky cameras on 31st August

Least hes honest, i like Arry but he should just retire, preferably for Birmingham fans before he fills there team with Godfrey, Jones and Fraizer

Wolver closing in on Dutch youth international striker Jurgen Locadia for around £10m . . 2 years younger then Losagga but worse goal record in a worse league, shows what a bargains he could be

Dont get the fuss about Wolves, nothing against them just dont think there teams all its cracked up to be.

Ruben Neves looked at by bigger clubs never happened, wasnt a starter for Porto last season, would i swap him for Ronaldo Vieira, nope.

Diogo Jota- did well for Porto last season on loan, decent player, swap him for Alioski, nope.

Ivan Cavaleiro-barely played for Monaco last season, was average in Spains second division on loan, Barely played for Benficas first team before that really only good season was for there B team. Swap him for Saiz, nope.

Apart from Helder Costa dont think they have anyone that special, if Mendes wasnt involved and the sums wernt so big doubt anyone would really care.

Jurgen Locadia deal now off, Wolves are scrambling for someone now as they only have one striker who isnt fit apparently.

Irrespective of if their new players are talented... unlikely that they will enjoy a cold wet Tuesday evening in winter...

Derby v Hull tonight.

Hopefully a 0-0

Derby v Hull tonight.

Hopefully a 0-0

Yes a draw would be good plus a Leeds victory tomorrow giving us a nice little gap between us & the Rams/Cods

Herby and Dull more like

BBC journalists don't fancy us for promotion
This was their predictions after the 5th game.


A group of 25 BBC Sport journalists who cover Championship football on a regular basis were asked to make their predictions, and their forecasts were combined to make a final table.

In our defence, there are about 620,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different combinations, so the chances are that we will probably end up getting it horribly wrong!

How our predicted table was put together

Our journalists were asked to place each Championship team in positions one to 24. The first-placed team was given one point, the second-placed team two points and so on.

Once all predictions had been received, all of the points for each individual club were added together and then divided by the number of responses (25) to give each club an average position.

The team with the highest average position was placed first in the final table, while the side with the lowest average position was placed 24th.

2 Fulham 3.36

Codheads new signing

Always rated him at Brum, very average since.

[gessa]

4-0 Johnson 45 minues

[1964white]

4-0 Johnson 45 minues

Just tuned in to watch the calamity codheads, probably missed all the fun

[1964white]

Not a good place to give a free-kick for the first goal

Superb movement for Vydra's 2nd goal

Poor defending for Derby 3rd & 4th

Leeds have conceded no goals in their last 4 games. Hull concede 4 in half a game

How the tide has turned

[gessa]

Another for Bradley 5-0
