swanseajack 11,427 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread Seem to have found a nice formation for myself, dominated what was a tough game away to a Middlesbrough side who up untill recentley were in the play-offs and i managed to dominate the game and more specifically possesion. Forgot to change the captaincy when changing the formation so Jack Wilshere by chance gets the captaincy, and then somehow manages to treble his league goal tally for the season with a brace to help Swansea to a 2-1 victory. Considering the circumstances i'm absoloutly chuffed, it was always going to be a tough game and without Djibril Cisse i was a bit worried but Wilshere has showed me tonight why i've been selecting him frequently. In terms of league position, frustratingly enough i stay 7th and outside the play-offs despite only goal difference seperating me before tonight's fixtures. But i do gain a point on 5th spot, aswell as gaining 3 points on 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Aside from Swansea, in terms of the league tonight proved to be a very interesting night. The main games included Crystal Palace losing to Coventry City at home, against the odds whilst Brighton & Hove Albion not only beat Ipswich in the crucial game at the bottom of the table but they thumped them 4-1 away from home. Tonight's scores (my prediction) Hull City 2 - 0 Peterborough United (Prediction: 2-0) Queens Park Rangers 2 - 3 Reading (Prediction: 1-2) Aston Villa 2 - 0 Shrewsbury Town (Prediction: 3-0) Crystal Palace 1 - 2 Coventry City (Prediction: 3-2) Barnsley 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Prediction: 0-2) Middlesbrough 1 - 2 Swansea City (Prediction: 1-2) Derby County 2 - 5 Cardiff City (Prediction: 1-3) Millwall 2 - 0 Bristol City (Prediction: 1-0) Sheffield United 0 - 1 Watford (Prediction: 2-2) Ipswich Town 1 - 4 Brighton & Hove Albion (Prediction: 0-2) Correct scores: 2/10 Correct verdicts: 8/10 Incorrect verdicts: 2/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Destine 224 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread A 4-3 thriller against Fulham is enough to slip West Ham United into the top four for the first time this season at Manchester City's expense. The race for top four is still tight however, and manager Alun Davies laughed off claims that they could be making a late attempt at the title in his post-match interview. "The points difference is too large and the games left to close it too few. We have some very challenging matches left to play this season so if we end the season in the position we are now, I'll be thrilled and it will have been as good of a first season as I could have hoped for."

Dale147 3,647 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread Lost 3-2 to Northampton. 2 points off 7th now But up against Gillingham next match which should be a very easy win Just saw this post and boy am I happy. Beat a top manager and beat my ex club. That makes it 2 wins from my first 2 games which I'm happy about. That very vital win moves Northampton up to 4th in Div 4. 3 points behind Burton so it's not that bad. Face Notts away on Wednesday which imo is a easy tie worthy of us bringing home another 3 points. Transfer news: Northampton should be bringing in a certain player tommorrow if everything goes to plan and noticably there are alot of people interested in Negredo and I've offered him out to many teams but I want to make this clear. Negredo is now unavailable. Scoring twice today brings his scoring tally up to 15 and I don't want the risk of my promotion hopes being shattered with his departure.

swanseajack 11,427 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread This 36 million could now come in handy . Haha, i'm not too bothered if i don't get the one you know i'm on about. Really like him as a player but my bid isn't as good as it could be really, and i'm not going to fully commit to it, mind you expect more competition as i'm sure when a couple of people see there's bids on him they may well chuck an offer in. I'm just hoping that i get one in by the end of the weekend, bids on a few players from external clubs and expecting competition on all of them, although i'm not desperate for the player you've bid on and i certainly need a specific position a lot more. But i would be very pleased if i do get him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
