So, the Championship season has started **Spoilers**

[Kelt]

good old blues are doing well considering our team cost about 500k and a bag of pork scratchings. Rowett is going to get headhunted soon

Yup.

Anything good at Blues gets nabbed by other teams these days.

They need to get bought by someone very rich (who's not a crook), and soon.

You managed to hold on to Gray this year, which is probably the best piece of transfer business you could do. Him out wide and Donaldson through the middle could lead to 50% of your goals/assists this season!

Reckon forest did alright signing that mendez fella. Looked half decent on Saturday, we've not had somebody prepared to run through the middle in ages.

Not too bad tbh, we never do that well at QPR, bit of a crooked win, but we played with some kind of purpose.

Until someone bids 4.5m for Gray which is pretty cheap considering...

 

[lokiss]

Narr Michael was lump left and right and watch him run on and hope for a star turn, all the football forest have been playing for the last 9 months. For the most part mendez was picking scraps in the midfield and dragging it forward.

Only one game, but to do it away from home when your seeing less of the ball, be interesting to see how he kicks on in a home game with a bit more possession.

Rumour has it that he turned down a move to Newcastle on deadline day, I'm not even sure there is a clause as it's rumoured that the bid by Newcastle was 6m.

We are looking good and it looks like the team love playing under rowett, if you listen to his interviews he comes across as a clever tactically sound bloke. Which is a million miles away from Clark who was gurning bingo teamsheet machine. Rowett has got us playing like this with almost the same players.

Going to be interesting against Boro tonight. Our first choice centre back and striker our out, we've only been able to name six subs and two of those are goalkeepers.

Plus they Boro destroyed us both times at the Riverside last season.

Good win. Rotherham were dirty! The ref, I can't remember his name didn't have a clue throughout. We made it a lot tougher than it should have been though, as we kind of sat back a little at 2-1,though they were not threatening at all. They just hit us with a sucker punch from a corner.

Very pleased overall.

You lot are flying at the moment, and yes, Rotherham are an awful side to watch.

We're still struggling with luck. We've now got 12 first teamers out injured - 2 for the season and 3 for 4-6 months - this includes our two first choice centre backs and 7 of our 11 midfielders

Again, having got ourselves on level terms against Mboro tonight, we go behind and then pretty much miss an open goal at 2-1 down... with Boro making it 3-1 shortly after. Saturday against PNE at home will be a big un'

 

[Andybtsn]

Adam Pearson left Leeds tonight which means Cellino back in charge. I'm sick to death of the whole debacle...I'm slowly going off Football altogether and it's politics. Football used to be about...football, now we have to deal with all the off field ****. We are a circus.

Boro look much more potent going forward this season. Downing, Stuani, Nugent, Fabbrini... all have been excellent at times. Stuani now has 6 goals this season, he looks like a real quality signing.

Adomah coming back into the side last night as a sub was nice to see, 1 assist and 1 goal, he looked really up for it. Celebrated with the manager too with a big man hug - Good to have him back.

Now just need to catch Brighton

How did the Bees play? Looking at the stats it was 52:48 in possession in our favour, 18:17 shots in your favour and 4:4 shots on target each. Was it a case of Boro taking their chances or was it a more convincing victory than that?

I was the miss from Djuricin at 2-1 to Boro - looked like that could have changed the game had it gone in.

 

[Pighardia]

It is nice to have a goalscorer again in Hemed, though tbh if we want him to carry on scoring we are going to give it to him in the 6 yard box each time as his shooting is pretty awful. Really love our squad this year. The central midfield partnership must be the best in the league in Stephens and Kayal. Also, Murphy from Sheffield United is an excellent signing who is dangerous every time he gets on the ball.

I do still think we need more goals if we want to get serious though. Honestly I'll just be happy with a top ten finish though!

I wasn't there last night sadly. Had to make do with the odd bit of commentary from Sky and the measly highlights of the goals.

But you are right about the open goal they missed, that came within 2 mins of the restart after we went 2-1 up. If they had scored then, it might have been very different.

Your aspirations might change if Brighton are still up there by Christmas

Apparently he left so he can focus on 'personal matters'.

I wonder how much truth there is to that .

 

[RoboCod]

Leeds though innit.

 

[Pighardia]

I'm happy enough with an away draw, but it also has to be seen as a missed opportunity. Wolves down to 10 for nearly half the match and we missed a penalty!

Still unbeaten though.

 

[Egon]

I'm happy enough with a Brighton draw too

Thought Boro played well today, was a great match, especially the first half but I think Boro edged it and deserved the win. Have to thank our Jolly Greek Giant in goal saving that pen though.
