Championship Thread 2021/22

Just watching PNE v Fulham how do these clubs survive with such poor match day attendance ?

 

[jimharri]

Their day to day expenses are miniscule in comparison to even mid sized PL clubs. Wages, in particular. I'm guessing that Fulham might be one of the biggest payers in the division, but compare their salary bill to the likes of Everton, Palace or Villa.

Deserved equaliser from Preston although if there was VAR it might not have stood.

Yes, although if the first Preston player didn’t accidentally handball it it would have gone straight in from Evans’ header.

Yea not sure what VAR would have done there ! The first handball stopped his team mate scoring but also passed the ball back to his team mate to score with his arm !

Yes I don’t know either how VAR would have resolved that. I suspect it would have been disallowed for the second handball although arguably it was a shoulder.

Been abit spicy the second half

Looking promising for Bournemouth, even at this very early stage of the season. 10 pts clear of the third placed team, as of now. 2 defeats in 20 games. Fulham looking good as well, just one pt behind Bournemouth. They'll be disappointed at dropping points at Preston at lunchtime, though.

Mitrovic's new deal puts him on about 96k a week, in the Championship!

Must be all behind the goal and in the stand where the camera is.

I killed it off after ten minutes. Lee Hendrie gargling away about what a great job Shrek is doing. They're top of the draws league apparently. Rags missed a trick not signing him up?

To be fair the main stand is usually full, and behind the goal has plenty.
Can't really criticise the fans. Its still freezing here .

I think their inevitable relegation is probably more of a factor.

Oh dear; what a shame, eh?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Lovely goal to win it.
