3 of them, Wigan, Huddersfield and Blackpool. All shocking.

I think one of Hudds or Blackpool will stay up at the expense of this shite Cardiff team.

I’ve seen them twice in the past week against qpr and now rovers and they absolutely have that whiff about them. Absolutely toothless and play with zero intensity.

Rovers are like that little piece of poop that desperately clings on to your sphincter.

Huddersfield have turned a corner in recent weeks and they've looked better. They looked doomed but have got themselves in an improved position.

Yes - the rumoured signing of Lowton on loan will give them a real boost too.

This has been an absolutely dreadful game of football at deadwood.

I agree, but our game at Stoke wasn't one for the purists either bud!

We could struggle on that pitch trying to play football. Maybe that is their plan. Teams can't play football on it so they win by hoofing it.

Rovers were poor. Cardiff were abysmal

Can’t believe that 12499 people actually paid to watch that !!!!

You'll see better National League North games this week..and on better pitches.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 2:07 pm

Well that was an absolutely horrendous watch between 2 extremely poor sides.

I keep thinking Rovers can't keep getting lucky, but surprisingly they can

I know the game was on the telly, but that's still a terrible crowd for a NYD game, especially given Rovers are riding high in the league, though why they are so high heavens knows, they ragged that victory today against a dreadful Cardiff outfit.

For all your **** taking, Bastards could closer the gap to just 11 points today.

They did however we have a game in hand, plus a vastly superior GD, and Rovers will lose one soon.

26 matches and not a single draw bizarre stat that, the only side in all 4 divisions yet to draw this season.

Emery is a great appointment for Villa, and they won't be involved in the relegation battle under him.

How Rovers are third is a mystery right up there with the Bermuda Triangle and Area 51.

Incredible.

They should have shown Blackpool v Sunderland instead. Cracking match.

Millwall 4th Luton 5th as things stand.

We play both away from home soon - tricky.

Not the best scores for us.

Luton now beating Hudds

Millwall win

Definitely tough games against two of the teams in very good form. Would be well pleased with four points from those two matches.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 4:57 pm

Millwall & Luton are the two teams most likely to try and batter us aerially. Both big physical teams who love a set piece.

Yeah and both with awkward styles for us too. Like Stoke but they do it better.

Don't see why any of those results would overly bother Burnley, all expected really and those sides are well adrift of pushing the top 2.

It does mean Norwich & Watford fall out of the PO places though.

Forest giving it a real go against Chelsea. Thought Forest were favourites for relegation but their home form might just save them. Crowd are really behind them.

It'd be helpful if Cork could avoid being suspended for either of those games.

I’d tell him to take a yellow vs Swansea so he’s out for the two home games.

Good results, I think (Sunderland and Cov drawing). Don’t want any of those teams 3rd to 15th or so going on a run, so need them to be picking up draws.

Forest have a very decent run of games coming with with every chance of getting away from the relegation spots if they play like today.
Saints away, Leicester home, Bournemouth away, Leeds home.
Be good to see them putting some pressure on WHU and Everton etc.

Mounting pressure on Rovers. Cardiff at home. Whilst I suspect they'll get back to winning ways the crowd will get impatient if they don't start well. Such is this season's Championship Rovers have lost more games (12) than 20th placed Cardiff (11).

Two very poor teams on a shocking pitch (for the championship)
How are Blackburn still 3rd after the results they have had nothing to fear from them at all!
