I’ll be keeping my eyes on Luton!

I was going to watch the Wigan V PNE game but think I might go with the Luton game and see what we’ll be up against next week

1st full day of the EFL season, come on QPR.

Couple of other tasty fixtures in the Champ.

Wigan-PNE

Boro-West Brom in the evening KO, an early clash between 2 of the promotion favourites.

22 years at Accy for Coleman, although they haven't been consecutive have they.

My FS is giving me a choice of Rotherham v Swansea or Cardiff v Norwich guess I should not have ordered it from a bloke in Port Talbot !

Adebayo looks like he could be a handful next week

taio · Post by **taio** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 3:48 pm

Good start for Wade at Cheltenham in what I thought would be a tough home opener for them.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 3:49 pm

Robbie Brady started for PNE. This could be his appearance of the season.
Danny Aygei scored for Crewe at ‘Dale.

Cardiff v Norwich - 0-0
No quality on show

A very different test. THB was so composed last night, but barely challenged for a header, let alone won one. Will be very interesting to see how we go.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 3:52 pm

Accy 1-0 down on Jensen's debut.
Cheltenham flying for Wade, 2-0 up at the break.
Stockport 3-0 behind to Barrow on their return to the league.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 4:08 pm

Duffers Barnsley 1 down at HT.
Wycombe 3 up on Burton, Sam is playing, but hasn't bagged yet.

I dont really understand why pundits think Norwich are a dead cert for promotion. They haven't really changed much with the team and they were s*ite last season!

Difference being last season the PL was there, massive gulf between the 2.

Grant Hanley sent off

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 4:45 pm

Pukki done his calf and caveman Hanley dent off for Naaarrrich.

Won’t take long for Norwich fans to turn on Smith. They weren’t impressed last season at all.

Milwaw top as it stands. Blackpool and Blackburn above us

Stockport back to 2-3

Hanley

everytime I hear that name it makes me think of Joey B giving him that look like he had trodden in something after Hanley legged him up in the B'stards game

Now sent off couldn't happen to a bigger A-hole

Creswell scored twice for Millwall get him signed

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 4:59 pm

Stanley 2-2 injury time.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 4:59 pm

I watched Luton, two huge lads up front and a big side over all. Need to not gie them free kicks and corners, their right back leaves huge spaces so Maatsen could have a field day. They are tenacious and get around the pitch pretty well. Their main play maker seemed to be Luke Freeman. Muric will play an important part coming for crosses, it will be a big test for him.

I wonder why that is too, I would have thought it would be in alphabetical order.

Happy to see Norwich get turned over down in Cardiff. A shame the Bar Stewards managed a win, but against a very poor QPR outfit by all accounts.

Luton will set us a tougher test next Saturday - they're certainly an aggressive side. Nothing we shouldn't be able handle though if we can play like we did last night.

Pawson doing his best to ruin what’s been a decent game.
Let it flow!

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Jul 30, 2022 6:22 pm

Middlesbrough look like a good team at Championship level based on that first half.

West Brom garbage and surely Steve Bruce is a good bet for first sacking.

We will make every attempt to keep the ball, then they will be powerless to bully us.

Two new boys Wallace and Swift combined really well there for West Brom, fair play to them.

No idea why Pawson couldn’t give that pen without VAR.
