Wow Seabs, Wed have got off to a flying start. 7 points and knocked Fulham out of the cup.

Been playing pretty well also, psyched for Bothroyd also since he's come in. Just the kind of striker we need. Expecting us to lose this game also, Palace are a serious bogey team lol. Could actually help us out, rather we don't play just to keep our current run going. Also how have the Boro got on?

Jay Bothroyd is a quality striker at Championship level. I'm sure he'll bag quite a few goals for you.

Got beat 3-1 by Millwall, can't believe it but everyone has their bad days I guess. I was surprised when I saw you'd bagged Bothroyd, fantastic Championship striker, still expecting Wed to surprise a lot of people this season.

Time to revive the thread for the greatest league in the country (and no, Premiershit isn't the best), So far Huddersfield Town have held them selves superbly well in the championship, currently occupying 8th place after 5 games. Since losing to Cardiff in the opening game of the Football League Season on Sky, one which I felt we didn't deserve to lose, we came back and somehow salvaged a point against Forest, since then it's been 3 good games and so far 4 games without a defeat.

I originally thought we would survive but finish no higher than 15h, and I know it's early days, but I feel this season might turn out to be a good one, and I can see us finishing in the top 10.

:yay: thank you Mark!
Again know it's early doors but looks like The Riverside is gonna be a fortress this season 3 wins in 3 for us at home, went to all of them and just can't see us conceding, Bikey, Woodgate and Steele at the back look unbreakable and with Hoyte and Friend playing well it seems lke we mght finally have a diverse defense, Luke Williams scoring a couple of goals at the other end is great to see aswell, really think this could be his breakthrough year and with Bailey and Williams coming back soon I'm struggling to think where to play them when Leadbitter and Thompson are playing very well also, that's never a bad thing though. Come on Boro!

Been a really interesting start to the season, I love us playing attacking football but we're pretty weak at the back so shipping like crazy and we can't always out score the opposition. McCabe has been our star signing so far, so good on the ball and with a bit of bite. I'd actually prefer him to Barkley currently, if Ross signs for a longer period that may alter. Hoping we adapt a 4 2 3 1 with Rodri, Antonio and Barkley behind Bothroyd with Semedo and McCabe anchoring, that would make me fap tbh. Madine to replace Jay if he refuses to sign on for longer, FB has also been odd at Brighton we played a LB at RB and a CB at LB with a RB on the bench, I have no idea why but still hoping Lee and Mattock start against 'Udders. Joe especially loves bombing on it seems.

I imagine ColeMiner will be, though I can see Blackburn getting the win :(

Yeah Blackburn are sitting top of the league ATM and look to be Okay-ish.

I mean look at their results this month

They just seem to be able to claw results however bad they're playing.

Plus Nuno Gomes is a freakin' legend.

Just like last season, I'm not sure Steve Kean still knows what he's doing to be honest, he's relying solely on the talent of star players. (Rhodes & Gomes) I'm sure if they have a off day they will lose.
