Gunter scores :mad:

Come on Barnes, bag a brace eh pal! ;)

[Alpha Signia]

I had high expectations for Ipswich. 0-2 down at home to Southampton.

Anyway, Barnes lining up for Doncaster!
Miller started on bench

Boro look good so far this season too.

Forest ahead btw.

[StaffsRam]

Something's wrong with my screen, it says Forest have scored. That can't be right......:confused:

[Ambitious]

Sounded like Doncaster was giving them a pasting as well before Forest scored, surely that is our tactic?

I wonder if they will have 'worst performance to win a game thread' :rolleyes:

[Pudding Jack]

that'll be the first goal then...

[Alpha Signia]

What a stupid night.

Media 2-1 Hull


Bates Out.

[StaffsRam]

Ipswich getting a thrashing. 0-3 now.

[Alpha Signia]

Flippin heck.

Carlos Edwards
Damien Delaney
Lee Bowyer
Grant Leadbitter
Michael Chopra
Jason Scotland

Not a bad bunch.

But Ipswich now 3-0 down before HT to Southampton.
Didn't they lose 3-0 on Saturday?
Maybe Jewell didn't "learn from mistakes at Derby"??

[StaffsRam]

That and Southampton are a bloody good team.

[duncanjwitham]

So that's a bunch of 'proven championship players' being given a pasting by a bunch of lower league nobodies then? :D

[Ambitious]

Southampton have a good set up, as well as a good team.

David Connolly seems to be rolling back the years anyway, 3 in 3 for him.

I was beggining to think that the Championships better sides were only perhaps one or two decent signings away from matching half the Premiership.

But League 1 seems to promote teams more than capable of just competing in here. Southampton,Leeds, Norwich, Leicester, Forest.

Is football getting closer? As in the decent league 1 sides are just about equal to all Championship and just slightly weaker than PL sides?

Or is the PL miles ahead of the rest of us?

I always thought apart from the top 7 or 8, most Championship sides would be able to switch with the rest of the Premiership and no one would notice the difference in quality? Perhaps bottom 6/top 6?

What's the crack?

They need Laurent Robert that's all.

Either him or Ellington....... wait a minute!! :eek:

:rolleyes:

I think it's a case that L1 has caught the championship.


The bottom 7 of the Pren have slipped back for some reason, possibly the distribution of money in the Prem being skewed in favour of top clubs.

The top 7 of the Prem have gone well ahead of the others due to extra revenue from Europe.

Teams like Fullham have a couple if good years based on brief flirtations with top 10 finishes and Europe qualification.

Ipswich 2 Southampton 3 - fight back on!

[davenportram]

Doncaster on top second half.

[StaffsRam]

Boring Forest. Grab a lead against the run of play and then hold on for the rest of the game. Boring twats. You'd never catch us doing that........:)

[Alpha Signia]

I hope Ipswich pull it back in a way.

All these League 1 clubs coming up with momentum every season, then the Premiership teams seem able to hold on to enough talent to compete up at the top too..... I just don't want it to be us floaters (Barnsley, Coventry, Watford....dare i say Derby?) that suffer amongst it.

League 1 has no appeal whatsoever. C'mon Ipswich, convince me that League 1 isn't too close to the average Championship team!!

[StaffsRam]

4-2 Southampton

[Alpha Signia]

Never mind.

Leeds 4-1.

Crap night.
Might go on YouPorn or summat instead.
If Doncaster score it'll save me from kicking the dog on the way to bed.
