Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
Congratulations to Wolves on there promotion.
The 1 results that leaps out though is Burton beating Derby , good on Burton bit late but credit to them, nice little club.
Does make you think, is Gary Rowett all that?
Derby have a top 2 squad imo, absolutely should be comfortable in the playoffs by now.
And yet there 7th.
With a game in hand but thats against Cardiff.
They also have Aston Villa and Boro left to play.
They could easily not make the playoffs.
Very expensive squad, is Rowett maybe a bit overrated?

Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
I've thought that for a long time. He has a worse win ratio than TC, who we were told was crap.Cjay wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 9:19 pmCongratulations to Wolves on there promotion.

Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
Rowett looks bad at the moment, but they could still end up finishing in the play-offs and going up and then he's a genius again.
The hype surrounding him seems to have come from him being sacked at Birmingham and them going into freefall under Zola.
It's similar to what's happened with us going into freefall after Christiansen was replaced by Heckingbottom, and yet the media line is that Heckingbottom inherited a mess and its not his fault.
It seems like xenophobia to me.

Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
I said the same thing on another thread Clive. If TC was English, he'd still be in a job right now.
Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
And yet it's the opposite in the Premier League where the foreigners are talked up and British managers run down, apart from poor Arsene.
Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
There's still time for them to make the play-offs this season, but their capacity to implode in the closing stages of a season is becoming legendary,
We're going up like there is no gravity!
Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
Dunno about that, quite a few id take over ours tbh.
Tom Lawrence over Pawel Cibicki
Matej Vydra over Samu Saiz
Curtis Davies over Liam Cooper
Andre Wisdom over Gaetano Berardi
Bradley Johnson over Eunan O'Shame
Andreas Weimann over Hadi Sacko.
David Nugent over Kemar Roofe
Tom Huddlestone over Kalvin Phillips.
Think there squad has far more quality.
Re: The Championship 17/18
I see Fulham showed their class beating Millwall at the Den 0-3
Oh for Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Fredericks, Johansen & others playing for Leeds

Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
They paid about £5m for Tom Lawrence and he's a regular so it's unfair to compare him to Cibicki.Cjay wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 11:15 pmDunno about that, quite a few id take over ours tbh.

Vydra is a striker so you can't compare him to Saiz.
Johnson was £6m.
Roofe is better than Nugent these days.
Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
Was just proving there squads far superior.
Not unfair at all to compare them.
Lawrence is better then Cibicki.
Vydra often playes behind the main striker or out wide so its a fair comparison.
Nugent is a class above Roofe imo.
Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
You've gotta compare like with like.
Roofe probably won't ever be as good as Nugent was, but I'd take him over Nugent now.
Re: The Championship 17/18 - Neves volley
I did compare like for like.
Saiz plays number 10 so does Vydra.
Johnson is a regular for them O'Kane is for us in the same position.
Roofe likes to play striker so does Nugent.
Cibicki was signed he plays out wide so does Lawrence. Just because Derby's squad cost more or Cibicki cant get a game doesnt change the point i was making.
There squads better

Lawrence or Alioski?Cjay wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 10:22 pmI did compare like for like.

There squad is better, but they've fallen away from a strong position and have a lot of players past their prime.
