The Championship 2020-21

Brentford's match with Rotherham will be played on 27th April which is in the midweek before we play them.

 

Hopefully Rotherham kick the **** out of them.

 

So in 10.5 days, they have to play Cardiff, Bournemouth, Rotherham and us.

Let’s either hope they’re exhausted, or that they are already out of the autos race, by the time our match kicks off.

 

That's three away games in ten days after playing a lot of second half injury time this week, that could take its toll.

If they can pick up 7-9 points from that lot fair and square (and the Swans don't suffer from travel sickness despite having to travel a long way to all their away games apart from Cardiff) then I'll have to grudgingly concede they're still very much contenders, however questionable their methods.

 

Wonder if our next opponents will be so obliging?

 

So we’re all Blackburn fans this week

 

As Muff did last weekend, they were definitely adept at doing that in 2015.

 

I had a dream last night that Dame Judi Dench,clearly in her new role as head of the EFL, demanded the game be replayed and Gazza passed to Ravenelli to score the only goal.
You read it here first!

 

From Forest to a Woodman?

Oddly enough I work up to hear Cascarino talking about it at 6am.
I would imagine if the referees have a weekly meeting Swansea will be mentioned and Gavin Ward will be put on the spit with Baldrick.

 

Having managed Cardiff he is legally required to hate Swansea, although what he says is 100% correct. Also, everyone one outside Swansea hates Swansea.

 

No Milford,midway upon the journey of his life he found himself in a forest ( them again!) dark
For the straightforward pathway had been lost in WD18.
He ended up in the opticians on the high street and has never found his way out!
Ford Dante however is thriving and is at present staking out the (Tony) Cotoneaster plant for voles.

 

We probably won't get promoted this season but it's a lot more exciting and enjoyable than battling to get to 40 points in the prem with the possibility of being humiliated in front of the world in a cup final.

 

We've got a rest this week and Swansea have got a tough one at Blackburn midweek. Hopefully their fixture backlog will start to hit them now.

 

This time last week I didn't think I could be more exasperated with a team as I was PLAFC.
It shows how wrong you can be and how swiftly matters change in this hectic season.

 

More you look at it, the more bent that Swansea game looks.

Ref clearly gave a corner in the last minute and was looking straight at it, far closer than any linesman. So why did he change his mind and give a penalty?

 

Agrees clearly signalled for a corner. What changed his mind is beyond me.
The positives are that from the 40 minutes of the 2nd half I watched it was all Boro. That luck will not last . But then again I believe we've had a little lately too but not in the same context.
Thankfully Blackburn got a win yesterday and can carry on with a result Tuesday.

 

Kind of want Swansea to go up (as long as we do lol), be a much less threatening prospect than Brentford tbf!

 

Personally I think Brentford give you a chance to win the match just because they're so stubborn in playing out from the back. Swansea are the ones with all the luck at the moment and that won't last surely after the few days they've had.

 

If we get promoted it would just be teams like Swansea rolling around every week. This Lacazette feature on MOTD is a treat

He certainly doesn't seem to communicate with anyone and there's conflicting information that the ref told Warnock in the confrontation after the game that he gave it but Warnock in his angry interview said that the 4th official gave it.

It simply looks like the ref changes his mind following pressure from the Swansea players.

 

Anywho

Muff Vs Swansea on the 16th

Which team will out dive the other?

Are the Muff divers better than the Swansea divers?

Time will tell

 

If he has said that to Warnock then it's even more problematic as that's not the role of the 4th official. They are only supposed to help the other officials with things they haven't seen, not re-referee incidents.

 

Even tho 2 fouls by Swansea players have resulted in a disallowed goal and a penalty against
'Boro which has negatively affected ourselves as well .
Give me human error over that VAR farce in the Premier league .

 

I think Brentford will he crap in the premier league I can see them trying to play too much football and get battered a bit like Norwich last season. They will need to improve their defence massively they give teams in this division too many chances, if they were playing in the premier league they wouldn't get away with it.

 

Some of our players can relate

 

All of the evidence points to the opposite being more likely.
