Looking like game over already unfortunately.

Fulham have once again f*cked up their chances of getting near the top 2 with going down to 10 men.

Easily the best team in the Championship, yet don't seem to want promotion.

Questionable keeping from Pickford. Free kick hit with power goes straight through his hands. Show pony keeper who is poor at the basics but can kick the ball a long way.....

Jarrod Bowen with yet another brace for Hull today.

With JBG’s fitness become ever more a concern, I say it’s time to start getting the deal done.

Leeds get a bit of fortune once again with WBA conceding a penalty that should never have been.

Fleetwood up to 4th. Joey is doing well

Celtic strolling to 3 points at Aberdeen 4-0 at HT and it should have been more,Millertime will be crying into his beer.

Swansea 1 up with 15 to go in the South Wales derby.

BFC Ladies visiting Stoke today i notice,good luck girls.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 1:52 pm

I hope Swansea hold on, makes it tighter at the top of the Chumps.

Just need Bristol City to beat Wigan to go into second.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:04 pm

Swans win,the Chumps is mad this year even by it's usual standards,5 points between the leaders WBA and Brum in 11th,it's going to be one hell of a bunfight for promotion.

Teams are dropping so many points and not taking advantage when they have the chance.

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:18 pm

Rover's league position is comforting but their form even more so. They're rock bottom in terms of form for the last 6 games.

The reason why we did so well in the Championship under Dyche is evident in the tightness of the league - we thrive under the conditions of winning by small margins.

We're still consistently doing the same in the Premier League - beating those teams who are on or around our level. If we could start picking up points against the better teams, the famed "Top 6", then we could really go places.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:22 pm

With Rovers the form table has them 17th (last 5 games) but those games were DLDLL.

Hopefully there's a pattern forming to become DLDLLL then DLDLLLL

Just glancing at the table WBA are top,and have only lost once at Leeds,however they've also only won 7 of their 14 games,and have drawn 6 times,that's why they're not pulling away from the pack.

Indeed no-one in the top 6 can string together a number of wins,hence the compactness of the entire league,if any of the top half can somehow go on a run of 4/5 wins they have a great chance of creating daylight at the summit,but i suspect the logjam will continue until next spring.

The number of times last season when Leeds drew/lost and the teams around them didn't win, was mental. So it's carrying on this season too.

Whether that's to do with lack of bottle, the competitiveness, or a mixture of both I'm not sure. Probably the latter.

It's a very intense league,and a long season,when we won the title we managed a run of 6 straight wins around Feb/March time,that's what got us over the line ultimately,ourselves,Boro.and Brighton all managed nearly 90 points or more,but even then we drew 15 games and Brighton drew 17,i'd wager none of the Championship teams will break the 90 point mark this term,even the title winners.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:47 pm

Wigan now leading 2-1. Bristol City have the chance to go second.

Just as I was saying though. B City have the perfect opportunity to get into 2nd place.

The good news is the egg-chasers will leapfrog Rovers if they hold on

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 3:34 pm

Wolves equalise.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 3:34 pm

1-1 wouldn't be a bad result for us.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 3:40 pm

Sean Longstaff sent off. Clear red but a beautiful triple pike by Neves.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 3:42 pm

2-2 final score at Bristol City,yet another draw,i'll have to remember this when Championship games appear on Super 6 in future.

Motherwell ahead at Ibrox,Devante Cole son of Andy scoring the opener,that would be a shock.

Red for Sean Longstaff.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 3:56 pm

Newcastle/Wolves did indeed finish 1-1.
OK for us.

Very surprised by the Spurs team. I'd say the way forward for them is to sideline the players who are in the final year of their contract. That's what he did in midweek and they won 5 nil. Yet Rose, Aldirieweld and Eriksen are all back in today.

Depends on the team. If it's a team that have the chance to leapfrog Leeds, I'd go draw or loss. Preston did it this weekend, but it's very rare.

If they do that there is a risk they won't qualify for the Champions league.
