Championship 21/22

[BluefromBridgend]

First game, Bournemouth 2 West Brom 2

Looks like it was a good game with Cherries leading twice.

Bournemouth had 7 youngsters on the bench. Only heard of one of them before.

Baggies only had 6 subs, one being our ex, Ken, came on 87th minute, didn't score.

If this is anything to go by, sides are going to struggle to put out 18 experienced players per game. Early days but interesting.

So Bournemouth and West Brom draw 2-2.
The table shows West Brom at the top.
Now I know this is not of much relevance but it’s bugging me. Why aren’t Bournemouth top on alphabetical order?

After that draw, we'll definitely be top 6 tonight.

Will - I've got a couple of dogs who don't wear a watch. If it's daylight, it's time to get up.

Ive got the same challenge.
As he's only a pup he has a small bladder so I'm usually up at 6 with him.
He then goes back to sleep but I'm wide awake.

As this thread can be active for the season Sparks, can we make it a sticky? I know we don't want to overload the stickies but this one has a case and the transfer window one will drop off in September.

Prediction.

Cardiff 12th

Swansea 14th

Carrots 22nd

Snow cheats bottom.

Saw EFL show this morning.
How did Baccuna miss those opportunities. Looked harder to miss than score.

Looking a bit further west, going to be some edge of the seat stuff for their fans. Not sure which end though.

Agree they weren't difficult by normal standards, but Keiffer has missed similar if not easier chances and very little is said about him.

It's about pre-held opinions. Bacuna attracts flak because many have made up their minds - they don't like him and will look for chances to have a pop.

Only caught the last 10 minutes at the Ricoh; sensational

He did well to get into the positions and its more bodies in the box we need.
Still think it looked harder to miss.

Bacuna will win us games this season.
