5/2 to beat Hull.

A great opportunity for someone to step up and make themselves a real hero.
That's the beauty of football, a hero emerges from the shadows and surprises everyone!
My money would be on either Bonne, Aneke or McGeady.1 -
If we match our form for the first 9 games of the season there will be nothing to worry about.2

Coronavirus might have saved Page's professional career tbh3

Starting to get the feels back again. Can't wait for next week when the 2 outstanding Premier League games are played & we start doing the previews & predictions for our game.1

Bowyer today on the OS:I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:Is McGeady still with us? No mention of him anywhere?
“Aidy [Aiden McGeady] scored a very good goal today, so that’s another positive. Since we lost Conor [Gallagher], we haven’t really got goals in midfield, so that was a plus.

Been another six positive cases in the Championship

Just thinking ...... if it's a comparison with the result of our training match at Arsenal last Saturday, I can't see that it really means anything.
Brentford may well have started with their probable Best XI, where Charlton played 2 halves with 2 mixed squad teams so as to give most of the squad 45 mins playing time.
And our match with Arsenal was apparently no contact, no tackling by agreement.

I thought I read we were playing Palace today, not seen anything about that.0

Looks like we played an in house game insteadross1 said:I thought I read we were playing Palace today, not seen anything about that.
Unless that was yesterday
Might be Saturday when we play them, means we've practiced playing Sat - Midweek - Sat and then have a full week to put any preparations in place for the Hull game3 -
Where on earth are they catching the virus?ForeverAddickted said:Been another six positive cases in the Championship

The office of National Statistics say that 0.38% of the population outside of hospitals and care homes. If no one failed the test last time it was not caught at their club. Just seems odd.1 -
I am finding it hard to get excited about games I can’t physically attend.stonemuse said:

I guess if it were to happenCharlton would Have to do it by loyalty points, imagine the outcry that would cause.0 -

Is that the case? Will be easy to tell from highlights. Would also explain the result - lets face it our approach versus Arsenal in a normal game will be to pit work rate against their skill. No tackling turns it in to skill versus skill so no surprise we get thrashed.Oggy Red said:ForeverAddickted said:Arsenal apparently played Brentford today

It also means you have to take the performances of Aneke and Page etc with a pinch of salt. Page for example may look like getting back to fitness but how will his body fare when it gets more physical again?1 -

The fans really do matter0

Home advantage is a massive thing and has been heavily researched in sports psychology. Having completed an MSc in that field last year, it was something we had covered and spoke about often. There are lots of excellent papers in the public domain explaining how many different factors are influenced by home advantage.
The lack of crowd at football was always going to produce the results we have seen so far in the Bundesliga. Expect more of the same when football returns here.5 -
Just a shame really its our home games that we'd consider the winnable ones before the season got cancelled
Hopefully home advantage isnt too impacted for us as I was optimistic about getting results against Queens Park Rangers | Reading | Wigan
Hull | Cardiff | Birmingham are the only two away games I'm overly confident about0 - Sponsored links:

It would be difficult to analyse, but I am fascinated to understand whether teams who ordinarily have ‘library’ like crowds fair better than boisterous/intimidating following crowd teams when the games get under way behind closed doors and regardless of home ‘advantage’? I would hope that not having 2000 angry away fans calling you a useless c*** before you take a corner, might help you deliver that corner as you would in training (which I suspect is better than what we are usually served up).It may well be an advantage for some is the point.0

This current setup will surely make Elland Road and the New Den venues that dont overly have the fear factor without any fans4 -
Dirty Leeds and Millwall don't take prisoners. They ain't going to stand by and let you roll them over.ForeverAddickted said:

Previous research has found something relatable to what you’re suggesting, not directly the same in terms of volume, but capacity. In which can be inferred, but not always the case, that a greater capacity the greater the intimidating volume/atmosphere.Pavoren007 said:It would be difficult to analyse, but I am fascinated to understand whether teams who ordinarily have ‘library’ like crowds fair better than boisterous/intimidating following crowd teams when the games get under way behind closed doors and regardless of home ‘advantage’?

It has been found that the greater the audience (as in number of people in the crowd) for a game, the greater the possibility of a favourable result for the local home team. Analysis over a 5 year period, between 2012 and 2017, found that the likelihood of a home win increased by 12%, deviation of plus or minus 2. Therefore, it can be assumed that in the football league, having a greater audience can result in an average of a further 9 points at home throughout a season.

Lol look at Barnet shoot up from 11th to a playoff spot hahastonemuse said:1 -
What is in our favour is that if we were in League One, we would be relegated. Psychologically this should be helpful. Also, whilst losing Taylor our other players should be fit so we should be competitive.
What is important is Bowyer. He has to get the players playing for the club and as fit as they can be in relation to opposing players.0
