Championship 2021-2022

Chong is exciting and awful in equal measures

 

Troy playing very much like he did for us, shockingly.

 

We did so well to move Troy on, looks finished sadly.

I reckon Gray will outscore him this season

 

Commentator talking about how 'the only thing missing for Deeney was a goal' and 'the goals will come for him no doubt' - Moon-man talk, utterly devoid of the reality of that performance.

 

Troy's contributions:-

1 useful flick on down the line
1 hopeless 40 yard punt out for a gk
1 pointless wrestling session with opposition defender, including a full slam to the floor
1 chases through ball but easily outpaced by defender
1 blind headed flick on nowhere near a teammate that rolls through gently to the Derby keeper
1 hands above head clapping of Brummy fans

 

Those were mentioned in the BBC updates, sadly all too familiar.

 

Good slam to floor though!

 

Don't forget the pointless arm waving to try and direct his team mates

 

BTW, this seems the best place to ask this as it’s about a game we played in the Championship, does anyone know the meaning of that truly bizarre bump to the matchday thread of our home game vs QPR? I googled some of the phrases from the poster RonaldEnawn (Enawn doesn’t even seem to exist as a surname) and they appear on a number of sites which look somewhat dodgy.

 

The start of the patented Silva collapse?

Joka is coming for you Marco.

 

Hope both Huddersfield and QPR go back up, Huddersfield is a good away trip and I’ve still yet to go to QPR (assuming we stay up). Be good to see those two in the top flight instead of the same teams that have been up here and back up for so many years.

 

Yes, it would be nice to see Gray score at The Vic.

 

I see Tom Dele scored a couple tonight.

 

I would say that's a fair description

Deflected innit? Admittedly hard to know for sure given it's been filmed on a potato.

 

Huddersfield is the only ground I've been to that sell leftover pies after the game at £1 each as you exit the place. Top work and a perfect time to eat one walking back to the station.

A QPR mate has been whining to me all morning about how dirty and nasty Bournemouth are. Old news.

 

Deeney still not starting for Brum but on the bench again.

BTW what a strange name for their stadium - "St. Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium". Is this meant to be ironic?

 

Troy hat-trick FTW

 

Shocking dive by Sam Surridge for Stoke to win a pen, which the idiot ref bought. You take take a man out of Bournemouth, but you can't take Bournemouth out of a man.

Justice done - the Barnsley keeper saved it.

 

He did. VAR would have ruled it out in the Prem.

 

King Marco putting a fat one up Deeney tonight. Lovely stuff.

 

Fixed, conceded almost as soon as he came on, oh well.

Seriously - has Deeney ever been an effective impact sub even in his prime? They should try him in the starting line-up for home games against the likes of Hull and Peterborough if nothing else.

 

Taxi for Chris Hughton. 2-0 down now

 

Several highly rated managers at vastly underachieving clubs are probably favourites for the sack race now - Chris Hughton at Forest, Nigel Adkins at Charlton, Paul Cook at Ipswich, Keith Curle (OK he probably isn't highly rated but keeps getting jobs for some reason) at Oldham...
