• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Championship and below 2015/16

Apart from a dodgy 20 minute period after the break we thoroughly deserved that win today! Few unhappy Derby fans at the end as well.

3pts, still unbeaten and getting merry! I do love awaydays!!
 
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:

Sorry to piddle on your parade Martyn:whoo: 3-1 to the Boro.
 
We are on a roll. Only problem could be that after scoring three, owners might think we don't need a new striker. We do, and if we get a 20 goals a season one, we will be in the play offs at least.

Compared to last season our squad has much more quality. Some decent new signings, especially Quinn and McShane, and the only player that has gone that I would like back is Federici. We have two keepers that don't seem to ba able to catch or kick.:eek:
 
The rest of the Championship needs to be afraid. We have our proven striker in Vydra, and also a playmaker in Piazon.:whoo: Nicely funded by selling Hector to Chelsea, and then loaning him back for the season.:thup:

Looks like we have also got John from Benfica, who has a release clause in his contract of 45 million Euros.:eek: Only on loan though.:)

Happy days, I might see our first goals at home this season soon.

But gutted he's left, but not surprised. Fantastic finisher but essential that he has a strike partner that can hold the ball up and play fast one-twos or lay offs, otherwise he will sulk and go missing. My son's favourite player....guess he'll have to choose from the new 15 faces that have turned up since May :whistle:

You have brought in a few.;)

Yes we have the hold up player in Sa, so needed a quick player to feed off the knock downs. Vydra is definitely a proven scorer in the Championship, which is what we need.
 
Not sure it was a transfer window, more a revolving door!

The embargo on Forest has completely doomed us to failure.

League One here we come :(
 
Be glad when all the Internationals are over, and we can get back to league matches. Looking forward to seeing our new players on Friday, when hopefully we will score at home for the first time this season.:thup:
 
So glad we're nearly out of the international break!!

Brentford for us this weekend at home and it's a 3 o'clock kick off!!!!!!!! Tough one to call for me but a win would be great and get us closer to those play-off spots. I know it's early doors but it'll give us a right confidence boost to carry into the next few weeks which is what we'll need as we've got Ipswich and Boro coming up this month so need points on the board.
