Smiley Culture Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Could be a bad few days for Brentford if they suffer another defeat, this time to an impressive looking Wolves, and if either Boro, Hull or someone else stumps up enough cash to prize Jota from them. I also didn't realise how poorly Fulham have started, it seems like a big hangover from the play-off's last season so far and Ipswich have started unbelievably. Wigan v Portsmouth should be interesting as it's Paul Cook's former side. There's also a local derby in Rochdale v Bury, so that should be feisty. It's top v bottom in League Two between Swindon and Crawley and Harry Kewell's managerial career could be on the ropes before it's even started there, you've got a local derby at Vale Park between Port Vale and Crewe and from memory and without having looked, those games usually produce goals but the game of the today in League Two is surely Mansfield Town v Luton Town, most people's favourites for promotion this season.

It's an interesting one, we've had poor results but good performances. Had we not of beat QPR in the week then I'd be worried but I feel like winning 4-1 will have done us some good. There's a big atmosphere at the club around high performance levels when we're not getting results and vice versa, I imagine the players will all be well versed in how quickly a run of form can change so I don't think we're going to go down a bad road. If we were away I could see a score draw tomorrow, but as we're at home I'm leaning towards a Bees win. Knowing my luck we'll probs lose 😂
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 25, 2017 Subscriber Posted August 25, 2017 Need to be beating Morecambe at home though it'll possibly be a tough match given that our two best attackers Uche and Berry have allegedly handed in transfer requests this week...
Lucas Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 The annual televised Sky clash of the fallen giants takes place tomorrow. Forest Leeds at the City Ground is always picked and everytime without fail, you can be sure you'll hear former 'European Cup winners' or 'Fallen Premiership giants'. Should be an interesting game as both clubs are in a bit of form. I feel it was a totally schoolboy and woeful decision from us to allow Liam Bridcutt to join Forest in time for this game. You just know he's going to have a stormer because he'll want to prove a massive point. The dilemma for us is how short we are up front. Despite signing the young dutch lad Grot in the week, I fully expect us not to start him and play Roofe up front after his hat trick on Tuesday night. Given how Forest have started, I would probably take a draw to be fair. I have a 1-1 feeling about this game.
roversgirl Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 We need our first home win of the season tomorrow against MK Dons. We have to start well as MK Dons could be there for the taking otherwise it will turn into another Doncaster/Southend. Dack is likely to be out which is a shame as he is forming a decent partnership with Samuel. Samuel looks a real handful at this level but we need more support for him.

Bluebird Hewitt Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Holloway usually does the business against us, but hopefully it'll be 5 in 5 tomorrow. Just hope the cup exit to Burton hasn't affected anyone.
Fairy In Boots Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Only steve Bruce could accidentally stumble on a formation that works and then totally disregard it to park the cunting bus away at Bristol City.
Honey Honey Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I reckon this has 1-0 villa written all over it to be honest

Going to Bristol City with 5 at the back? fuck off no disrespect to Bristol City but that squad should be top 5 in this league we'll regret persevering with this useless cunt of a manager.
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Good start for Blackburn. Ahead within 2 minutes over MK Dons.
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 25th minute equaliser for MK Dons. 1-1.
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Mulgrew puts Blackburn back ahead. Good game at Ewood Park so far!
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Home debut goal for Joselu! Newcastle 1-0 West Ham 10 mins before HT.
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Ipswich 0-1 Fulham - Kebano, 35 mins Burton 0-1 Sheff Weds - Gary Hooper, 36mins. Didn't even know Hooper was still going
Bluebird Hewitt Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Half Time - 2-1 against @Batard's boys. Looked off the pace to begin and fuck knows what Etheridge was doing for QPR's goal, but Smithies helped repay the favour following Zohore and Hoilett's persistence (it was more the defender's fault but whatever) and Bamba nodding home at the near post which Smithies really should have covered. Hopefully Warnock gives them a little bit of a kick up the arse for the second half.
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Ipswich 0-2 Fulham - Rui Fonte, 51mins
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Danny Collins sent off for Grimsby. That might not be too interesting for anyone on here but it's significant because Grimsby have now had a red card in each of their 5 games this season
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Barnsley 3-0 Sunderland
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Cardiff win to stay top of the league. What a start for Warnock and @Bluebird Hewitt
Administrator Stan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Administrator Posted August 26, 2017 Superb result for Leeds at an in-form Forest. Looked quite a tight affair from the first half I watched.

You had a 3rd goal ruled offside didn't you?

Another good win and a shame.that the international break has come round really. Hoping that we don't suffer any major injuries during the qualifiers.
Danny Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 I can take a 0-0, clean sheet and a point before the international break.
