That's exactly why I'm going to watch it - there's every chance that Brentford could do it imo.

Probably watch PNE v Stoke, live match on Sky Football.

Hope it's an improvement on Hull v Venkys last night.

They are all live on Sky - you just make your choice

Currently opting for the Fulham game.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 7:47 pm

Is it via the Red Button again ?
Hope its a big improvement on last season, they only used 1 camera for the game and it was all over the place, with no replays.

Great goal for Fulham. 91% possession too.

2-0 Preston. Butland with another shocker

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 8:14 pm

Butland treble shocker.
Firstgoal
Punch out for second goal.
Went down slower than the Titanic for the follow up shot.
Must have a transfer on his mind.

was thinking exactly that - tonight could well be his last game.

If I was in charge at Stoke I'd be on the 'phone to Chris Hughton

No but it's his fault for selecting him every week.

They should have took the 20m in the window.

I’d be having a chat with the manager in the other dugout.

indeed for the money, I've no idea who the other keeper option is for Stoke so he could be worse

I think the only reason he’s still there is down to Stoke probably having made too many managerial changes in the last couple of years.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 8:42 pm

for me it's a lack of basic application from Stoke, not seeing any effort

Their number 2 is Adam Federici the Aussie signed from Bournemouth,who bizarrely has a league goal to his name,on Boxing Day 2008 he netted a 96th minute equaliser against Cardiff.

He's got plenty of experience and would surely be an better bet than Butland,who's confidence is totally shot.

Sam's on the bench for Stoke again,how on earth can he not get a start with this shower.

yep agree with all of that

Ward must be injured as not even in the squad

Adam Federici is the 2nd choice, if he can't shift Butland on his last few showings he must be absolute pants

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 8:51 pm

Federici isn’t good enough

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 8:51 pm

I see Sam is benched again and Ward not even in the squad (is he injured?)

Anyone read the Glen Johnson piece on Berahino a few weeks back? Unbelievable. There's every chance that at some point we'll find ourselves back in the Championship but difficult to imagine either with SD in charge or indeed with his legacy casting its shadow over the club we'll descend into a shambles like Stoke so soon after relegation.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 8:56 pm

Wardy has only played once for them which was the weekend before last

Surely that's just a common-sense statement of fact ? We all hope it's a long way off but for a club our size it'll be a miracle if it never happens.

Absolutely and when it happens we hope the club is in a stable position. Stoke sacked a manager during their relegation season, a second at the end of it and a third during last season.

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 9:06 pm

Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, United. Spurs - the only teams who are PL ever-presents. Aside from City everyone else is at some point likely to be relegated - that's not an opinion, it's a fact based on everything that's happened since 1992.

Tom Ince’s career has gone from strength to strength hasn’t it.

I wonder if his dad is still pushing his move to Inter Milan?

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 9:09 pm

I cant remember Everton ever being in sustained relegation trouble, which is pretty impressive for a team that most of the time are fairly crap.

Villa were the last to lose ever present status but don’t expect any of the others too any time soon

4-0 Fulham. Been a good game if you have the Red button.

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 9:15 pm

Fulham seem to have re-adjusted to the Championship really well - can easily see them bouncing back. They must be kicking themselves for the hash they made of last season - a missed opportunity if ever there was one.

Would welcome them back to the PL - they've always been very generous with the points when they've visited TM

They'll score bucketloads in the Champ this season,wouldn't surprise me if they won the title.

They didn’t look as though they had re-adjusted at Huddersfield last Friday despite the win.

I don't remember the last time I saw passing this good from a Championship side. They should finish top this season.
