edinburghowl Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Surprised there’s isn’t a thread so far. Bournemouth v West Brom on now and it’s the first game of the season. Pretty much Football v Hoofball this one. Bournemouth playing some tidy stuff but the Baggies have just equalised with a header after peppering their box. They look very dangerous from every cross ball, long throw and set piece. Who so people fancy for promotion and relegation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I've got to think those who come down will be in the top six along with Bournemouth. They have a huge advantage, arguably more so than usual due to the parlous state of Championship finances atm. Dark horse tip would be QPR who have recruited well. Also wouldn't rule out Boro and Cardiff. Colin and Mad Mick know what this division takes. Regarding this game, you can see why Barnsley did so well - this style of play is like organised chaos.

Skyline Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just watching this WBA game. Commentators saying they can't see the foul in the lead up to the disallowed goal. I can see a clear push on the keeper from a WBA player. Maybe not the most forceful of push, but a clear push? Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 They are very direct West Brom. Like SiJ says a bit like Barnsley last season with their high energy, high tempo, style. Tough to defend against, not pretty to watch. And agreed Skyline there was definitely a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 This commentator... He's not bad, but always seems to have some pre prepared line for a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Looked at the squads of WBA and Bournemouth yesterday. Why the hell was Johnstone on be ch for WBA? And Bournemouth had a decent first XI but bench looked very average. Shame we are so poo , cos the champ doesn't look great this season at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s up for sale as he only has 12 months on his current deal - we would happily sell to bring some additional monies for us to reinvest in the squad. There does not appear to be any interest and the avenues for a sale and pretty much closed - there is talk he is about t sign a new deal with a release clause should we not go up. He will start next Saturday, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Fulham looking good at this level again. Boro playing just like any other Warnock team. Dirty tactics trying to kick opposition off pitch. Colin and his pal already received yellow cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Fulham have best squad by far imo. WBA to be up there. Think Birmingham wil surprise a few. Bowyer is a poo house, but he gets his team organised, and has assembled a decent squad. Dont get the hype over QPR personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
