So we're half way through only the third round of league matches and not one team has a 100% record. Just shows what a tough league the Championship is.

Some really good buys and a large amount of cash thrown about by a number of clubs already, could well be an even tighter league than last year. It will be so important that we pull away from the relegation scrap as soon as possible, I doubt we will get the chance to do a late resurgence like we did last season if we get mired down in the bottom 7 or 8 teams by the new year.

Yes, I am rather hoping the Gray transfer goes through on Thursday tbh. Had a good season last year and already 2 in 2 this one.

Think we need 2 new players before window closes my 2 would be Will Buckley and Steve Sidwell really don't think we need cover in defence

Liam Moore and Buckley for me. Sidwell is a good player but if we do go for a midfield general then I would rather take Barton and quite frankly it seems we can't afford wages on either of those two so moot point.

If we off load those two why not get buckly or another attacking midfielder to enhance our midfield

I think we may be waiting to see if Rose moves to Chelsea tbh. The rumour of him making a £15m switch (which would net us £1.4m) would give us money to bring in another decent signing (hopefully Buckley). Saying that it seems we made a £1.4m bid for Anthony Limbombe the other week so maybe Rosler and co. just aren't interested in Buckley.

Massimo should make Everton an offer they can't refuse! Wootton, Ajose and two million pounds for John Stones. Much better than 30 million Russian doubles lol. MOT.

Just for once in many of years wouldn;t it be nice to see some of the signings we have paid money for start with a bang. not kick the ball over the post

People seem to forget that Wood missed a large chunk of pre season and is yet to reach full fitness. As Bige points out the midfield is slow in supporting him. Most of the time it looks like 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1 which is a defensive counter attacking game let's hope we can get our first win Wednesday and stuff Wednesday on Saturday.

I agree with what everyone is saying re wood. Lack of service and bit rusty from injury
However. Yes there is a however
A. Wouldn't we be better starting with ant who is well fit and ready
B. I saw him miss a few against burnley and gave read he missed a few in last game too
Refer to A!

He looks to have goals in him to me. Don't think he's going to be another Morison. But let's see him and Ant play together

He will come good, no doubt in my mind. He didn't get a full preseason and he had a bit of a knock when he turned up. On top of that we have three players in Wood, Dallas (who also came in late) and Byram that have never played together before and they need to form an understanding. Once the wingers learn where Wood wants the ball & will make his runs and he learns where they will run when they cut inside so he can drag defenders out to leave holes we will start to score.
Antenucci coming on against tired defenders will give him a yard of pace too rather than starting the game when all his hard work has little impact.
