1-0 Brentford.

And Forest losing. If it stays like this Brentford will go up to 2nd which I think would be the highest they’ve every been.

That said Fulham would have a game in hand on them and if they don’t win they could still end the game week closer to 7th.

Brentford certainly are the Bees' knees this season.

How is Dhanda doing at Swansea. I always liked the kid when he was at Liverpool. He had a nice eye for a pass.

Absolute howler from Casilla the Leeds keeper for that goal. Slipped and gifted it straight to Benhrama.

Brentford goalkeeper returns the favour, 1-1

Leeds have equalised. Swansea are playing so deep, it's been hard for Brewster to get in the game.

He has at least one howler per game. I'm amazed he gets picked for every game.

Pochettino at the Swansea game.

Forest are absolutely abhorrent in games where the onus is on them to make the play. They have no creativity whatsoever because Lamouchi just will not play Carvalho.

My attention was drawn to one of the most cowardly displays by a referee in recent memory.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #253 on:** February 11, 2020, 09:39:10 pm »

2 or 3 instances in that game that where decent peno shouts.

The one on Brewster too, couldn't see clearly enough though on the replay if the goalie grabbed his foot.

Great night for Fulham without even playing.

Leeds drop more points, finishes 1-1, big chance for Fulham to go into 2nd with a win at Millwall tomorrow

I thought the Brewster penalty was the best shout for one.

"Ooohhh, Brentford vs Leeds tonight, it should be a great game which could prove to be pivotal in the end. Will definitely watch."

Sky Sports and rest of the channels abroad: Nah, we're going for Swansea vs QPR.

They seriously need to sort their coverage of the Championship out. Pay all teams a higher baseline amount so you dont have to spread the games around as much.

And get HD cameras for at least a few red button matches.

Kalvin Phillips is absolutely top class think he'd get into the starting eleven of the majority of Premier League teams. If Leeds don't come up this season which judging by there/Bielsa history of fucking up when it matters he needs to leave for the good of his career.

Yeah he's great. Only Championship snobbery has prevented him receiving an England call-up.

Yeah, was reading complaints on Twitter yesterday. Shit image quality and no replays apparently. Yikes.

Leeds fans liked the result yesterday. It's not bad and they were on top of Brentford most of the game but saw the last 30 minutes from the second half and they created fuck all in terms of clear cut chances.

West Brom and Fulham going up is bad imo cause it's the same old shit. I have seen them in the PL a lot of times, need something new.

PS: The only televised game, Swansea vs QPR, was the only 0-0 yesterday. Hahahaha. Well in.

Bristol City 2 up against Derby. If those results stay the same it’s going to be insanely tight from top to 7th.

Bristol have an away to Leeds on the weekend and they're three points behind them. They will have won 4 out of the last 5, while Leeds only won one. West Brom at home to Forest is another very interesting game this weekend. A cracking finish to the Championship, almost makes up for the Premier League being over in January

Leeds have won one match this year, that was the comeback against Millwall couple of weeks ago.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #271 on:** February 12, 2020, 09:08:49 pm »

Somebody should do a petition to have no teams promoted from the Championship. This Millwall-Fulham game is appalling quality and one of them is a promotion favourite.

Dreadful wasn't it? I agree with Yiannis that West Brom and Fulham coming up automatically would be a damn shame. Not only are they probably the two main yo-yo clubs these days, but neither play particularly attractive football. (Admittedly Diangana and Pereira have been decent to watch at times, but both of their squads are filled with yard-dogs.)

Brentford v Leeds wasn't an amazing game the other night but the patterns of play and overall identities on display were of a much higher standard. Would prefer to see them and Forest come up.

To be fair, you thought Sheffield United played shit on a stick football last season in the Championship and would be bounced right back down to the Championship this season.

Yes please. It's mad with me watching Leeds cause on one hand I want them to go up but on the other hand, the schadenfreude value when they drop points and go into meltdown is too good.

First goal that came to my mind too

Mad end to the game with West Brom having a goal ruled out for offside at the end- not sure if the ball had touched him before crossing the line

Kyle Bartley (West Brom) blocks Callum Robinson's shot on the line 90'+6' - https://streamja.com/my99 & https://streamable.com/2xthh

^ not sure how the linesmen adjudged that to be offside - seems both players are behind the line when the shot is taken?
