I agree it will potentially affect some match day going fans, but as I said Clubs like Rovers have to come up with attractive ST and match day tickets offers

But EFL and clubs wanted more TV coverage and revenue which is what this deal given them. Down to all clubs to offer attractive ST offers and match day offers now for match day going fans.

All this down to EFL and its clubs wanting more TV revenues and coverage.

Well that why they have said that fans and clubs will be bigger notice period when games are being moved. EFL and the clubs want more money and more TV coverage so now they have been given that by this new TV deal. We might not even in this league by the time this TV comes into place

It's worth 935 million pounds to clubs and EFL have more TV coverage as this is what they wanted. I would imagine we see 12.30 pm and 5.30 pm on Saturdays plus Sunday dinner time and Friday night games. I would expect Sky will launch its own Sky Sports EFL channel for this new TV deal

Yes the deal is worth £935 million It's the EFL who have push for this deal and more TV coverage and more money. So please get it right. They pick Sky to go with. EFL and Sky have agreed that all games affected by moving the game for TV will know well in advance and before the season starts for any game moved. Here is the quote from the EFL "With the substantial increase in the number of live matches, Sky Sports and the EFL will introduce a new commitment for clubs and fans which will provide longer notice periods on TV selections. The defined notice periods will enable clubs and fans to plan further in advance and this will include the placement of all live matches selected for broadcast for the period to FA Cup 3rd Round before the start of the season. Greater parity in the number of times that clubs are selected for TV coverage is also guaranteed. "

At least 5 Championship games will be broadcast each weekend plus all opening and final day fixtures. Also Boxing day and New Year day matches will be shown.

Gallagher fit for this game

this was the team

I read a very different article to that outline that their as owner/head coach relationship broke down. https://theathletic.com/3576054/2022/09/08/tuchel-sacking-chelsea-potter?source=user-shared-article Maybe that route or job in overseas He's been good for Brighton this season. Maybe someone who develop and learnt his game better as he got older

Coventry were attacking us and pushing us back. Let's not forget that Coventry's equaliser was handball and Preston's goal was very lucky deflection shot. Plus Hedges should have scored. Those are the facts

It's was tongue in cheek comment cos it's a mess there. If Pochettino gets the job then I can see improving on this season massively Tuchel's relationship with the new Chelsea owners had hit rock bottom so after that only 1 winner there and its not Tuchel. I don't think Lampard failed in his spells at Derby or Chelsea 1st spell. Think his 1st season at Chelsea was good given the club was in transfer embargo

Well we just have agree to disagree here Did the right thing against Coventry and Preston by bringing on another centre back? Preston had 4 strikers on the pitch so it's natural you want an extra centre back on the pitch

I just don't think it would have work. Suits them more than us. Who would he come on for? BBD? JRC? We have created chances in games but also he would help us attacking wise with his movement and link up play hence created more chances. Like I said I think overall play as improve since the World Cup break in terms of passing and more comfortably as possession based team

keep Szmodics in the 10 role

Massive squad. Alot of work in summer for them sort us for new manager and sporting directors plus a new keeper and striker signing. Good luck to them He wreck his management career now. TV pundit and England/Chelsea ambassador. He's not to blame for Chelsea mess but club need direction and sensible approach/management from the summer onwards

Playing it long to an Ayala for example would have suited their defenders like Bradley. What was need was runs in between their defenders and behind to turn the defence and causes more problems. Defenders like Bradley don't want to runners in behind them Also how would set the team up formation and players wise then if this is your suggestion?

The keeper and 2 centre defenders and ball playing midfielder have to decide when it right to play out and not.

Chelsea picked the wrong front 3 tonight. Should have picked Havertz, Felix and Mudryk instead. Aubameyang isn't good enough for PL level. did nothing all night apart from take the kick offs. Chelsea need to sort out quickly who they want as their next head coach and announced it. Might just settle everything down.

at least he is consistent 🤔

so you want to move your in form player in Szmodics out wide for Dack to play in the 10 role? Will Dack made the runs that Szmodics does? Would you extend Dack contract for next season and beyond? When teams are pressing you so high and close you don't play out like City didn't against Arsenal last Wednesday night?

Yes putting the ball into the box from corners instead of short ones too many times. Also it was good delivery and good run and header by Carter. It would be interest to see how you would have set up with Leonard and Ayala with Thomas wide so I guess you would have still have Dack and Szmodics on the pitch? So how would you have set up considering the players you wanted on the pitch? How much is that down to quality striker tho? a out and out striker would better runs, run in behind the defenders creating spaces, etc

my team Pears JRC Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Wharton Thomas Szmodics Hedges Gallagher/Leonard depends if Gallagher is fit enough to start or not, if so start him don't think so. I think Sky Sports will another championship, which they haven't decided yet. Sky has picked 2 league 1 games and 2 league 2 games already but only 1 championship game so far.

Like others have said our performances have been good and we just lacking that quality striker/finisher to finish it off. I have found at times our attacking play when we play with quick tempo and short passing entertaining and what I want to see more of. Also I like the Coventry game cos how Carter and Hyam stopped their star striker and control the game against top 6 rival until their keeper handball in the goal Exactly and its been my point for most of the season then we play quick tempo short passing football teams can't cope with him. I want to see more of this going forward and next season. Time to back JDT with some quality signings 1000% agree totally agree to do what? Leonard shown what we need someone to run into the channel/behind their centre backs and turn their back line. Bringing on Ayala would suited their defenders like Bradley

He deffo shown lack of effort and work rate isn't there plus poor touches or passes yesterday. If he is still struggling with an injury then don't play him but his performance at PNE was probably his best game in weeks/months We had asking price and teams could made offers which including players or add on's. Didn't Seville bid 8.4 million for him? Blackburn star Ben Brereton Diaz wanted by Sevilla again but Spaniards only willing to pay half of £20m transfer fee | The Sun Its seem PL teams weren't willing to offer what or near what we want
