Anyway, 0-0 at half time.

Finished. Worrying we are struggling with results.
We played our reserves - its pre season - why does anyone worry about results?
Its about learning who can do what and getting up to speed

My only real concern is Dack and if Phillips is good enough to move up

The Daily Mirror has published their predicted placings for the Championship this coming season based on a “super computer and various algorithms”.
I’m putting it here so that I can check it at the end of the season. We are expected in 11th place with Burnley clear favourites to go up as Champions.
1. Burnley
2. Norwich
3. Watford
4. Sheffield United
5. Huddersfield
6. Preston
7. Luton
8. Millwall
9. WBA
10. Coventry
11. ROVERS
12. Middlesbrough
13. Stoke
14. QPR
15. Swansea
16. Blackpool
17. Cardiff
18. Hull
19. Rotherham
20. Wigan
21 Reading
Relegated
22. Birmingham
23. Bristol City
24. Sunderland.

I must admit that I now start to think he is finished as a player unfortunately 🙁 I hope he can prove me wrong but he seem to get injured all the time nowadays.
Dack's been finished for me since he did his ACL in 2019. Whether it's confidence, physical stability, or struggling to adapt to our new style (he was always at his best playing off Graham as a no.10), I just don't think he can hack it at this level anymore.

On what grounds would anyone think those purple b*stards are going up as champions? They’ve let go half a team of premier league players and replaced them with league one players. They also have an unproven manager who has achieved bugger all.

Perhaps they still have half a team of Prem players with parachute payments for the next few years albeit they have to repay a huge loan this year. They will get money for Cornet as well. I suppose it’s the scourge of the 3 relegated teams having the resources to outbid most Championship sides.
I must say I can’t quite fathom why Preston will make the playoffs? I think Boro will be up there as they have Wilder plus money from the Spence sale.
Why don’t we have a predictions thread on here? Predicting the top 6 and 3 relegated and an extra point for Champions? Score out 10!
Winner gets kudos at the end of the season.

I like (arguably amusingly) to think of myself as a bit of a scientist, having a fairly crap degree in physics.

But either way I think it'd be daft to dismiss the predictions of something halfway close to a super computer. This it literally the type of machine you'd utilise to beat the bookies.

Not surprised at all to see Burnley top after mid-table PL form under the new manager prior to relegation. Their parachute payment for the coming season, £30m+, is double our income for 2 years.

As ever, it must be stressed we're a small club at this level. It doesn't matter how many opinions based on 1995 are ventured to the contrary, reality will unfortunately win the day.

I'd snap someone's hand off for 11th this season. And yet again, ridiculous sacking Mowbray.
