So, you think in the Championships we will have nore time on the ball...

Then watch the Leicester v Wham game going on right now.!!!

Not an inch of space given.

All those who think Stephens is gonna have more time !!

 

One game.

 

One Nation

 

One Team

 

One man.

 

One Direction.

 

Where does this idea come from that in The Championship teams will sit back and admire ball-players?.

 

It's not that the teams sit back and admire, but it's a more of a possession game as opposed to the hoofing and heading you get in League One. The notion is players like Stephens will be able to put their foot on the ball a lot more.

 

Its funny, Champs teams promoted to the Prem say the same thing.

 

I've been quite surprised at the number of teams in L1 who attempt to play the passing game, Wycombe for example.

 

Yeah, it's funny the teams that said that like Swansea, WBA and Norwich are having some success and players like Leon Britton, Brunt, Morrison, Hoolahan, and Bradley Johnson who were sometimes deemed as ''luxury'' in the lower leagues are now performing at the highest level.

 

Granted - include Grant Holt in that too.

 

An enforcer midfielder is needed like Nicky Bailey, otherwise the midfield will be cut to shreads.

 

Also, remember teams like Ipswich about 10 years ago? - they were sussed in their 2nd year in the Prem.

 

Blackpool were sussed by Christmas, then relegated in May

 

Problem with Blackpool was that they didn't try to defend. It was all out attack.

 

Next seasons relegation places are already taken by Barnsley, Palace and Peterborough so you might as well enjoy it

 

So who's going to send Palace down this time?

 

No one - aren't the entire footballing world scared of their ultras? They will win the league through sheer intimidation alone.

 

Yeah plus they have that Jedinak in midfield, he could crush the entire division merely using the force, or more likely cop off with his sister before casually shifting plot like nothing went on...
