Championship and below 2015/16

After watching the first game of the season I thought Blackpool looked a decent side and would be pushing for a play off place. I also thought we would be mid table and not be suffering the relegation worries of the last few seasons. I know it's early days but it seems I know nothing and the attached image shows what I know about football......

If I ever post an opinion please tell me to shut up and refer me to this post. And I really worry for the rest of the season as our next 4 games are against Sheff Utd (a), Chesterfield (a), Gillingham (h) and Swindon (a). By the end of September we could be cast adrift at the bottom of the league. Oops I've posted an opinion but then again, what do I know?

EDIT - Apologies to louise_a for any distress the attached image may have caused

You'll be ok, you play us at the end of September!!!!
 
Just thought I would mention that our Under 21's are top of the Premier League after beating Liverpool.:whoo:

The Academy is producing some quality players. Long may it continue.
 
Middlesbrough already looking a little shy in front of goal. Bristol City did a good job on us at the weekend. They could easily have been 3-1 up by half time, and then borrowed Jose's bus. At one point the ref called over their Capt and had a word about time wasting, which started from the 35th minute... It was like watching Leeds in the 70's - not pretty but grudging respect to them. They'll shock a few teams this season.
 
All Midlands teams playing tonight I think, Birmingham, Villa, West Brom, Wolves, Walsall! Didn't think some of them were allowed to play on the same day?

Sounds a lot like how Boro liked to play last season! A lot of go a goal ahead and then protect what you've got and hope to pick up another on the break.
 
We have bid £4 million for a striker, Robert Beric.:whoo:

Only problem is he plays for Rapid Vienna, and if they get through to the Champions League groups we have no chance of getting him. They did lose the first leg at home 1-0 so fingers crossed.:thup:

Stats show that after four games we have had more shots than any other team in the football league. We have also had the least number of shots against. Trouble is we have three points this season.:(

Oh well we are a cup team these days, so bring on Pompey.

We're always away when Albion are at home, God knows how the police have let us all play at the same time.
 
A home draw in the Cup at last. nine away in a row. Hopefully Everton will beat Barnsley, as we always struggle at home to Barnsley.:whistle:
 
Looks like we've signed Gary Hooper on a years loan from Norwich, at last a proven striker, or at least he was when he played for Celtic.
A hat trick against Boro on Saturday would be a nice start :whoo:

I think this one might depend on what business we do before the end of the window.

Yeah you're right mate, the report I read made it sound like the deal had been done, obviously not. Just read another feed which says we're after Michael Turner as well and put a bid in for some Watford striker I've never heard of.

Turner has joined you for the season, Forrestieri is a good player - he'd be a very good addition. He's a tricky forward player that links strikers and midfield I believe.

Turner is a decent enough player, he's a bit slow so probably why his opportunities with us will be limited. On the other hand he'll win every header between now and the end of the season!

Just hope it's not Benik Afobe

I can't see you selling at any price that a sane club would offer.

I find it strange that we keep on bidding though, suggests it's not a dead duck (i.e. Afobe is interested) but given the statements coming out of Molineux, there's just no way it'll happen.

Saw a rumour today that Hooper deal isn't going to happen but you have turned your attentions to Kyle Lafferty.

Forestieri - Looks like Messi and very occasionally plays like him. Sometimes brilliant on the ball...other times just gives it away inexplicably and usually in bad situations. Mostly left peg, very popular at the club. I would like him to stay as he can bring something different but not sure he can displace what we currently have and work in our system

I'm looking at it a different way...we know he definitely wants to stay so we can say with confidence that he's going nowhere....hopefully
