As the new Championship season gets started this evening, a brand new rule will be enforced for the first time.

Typically, in the EFL, team news has been released by clubs exactly 60 minutes before kick-off in every game.

There is a new rule being implemented in the EFL this season

Anticipation is always built an hour ahead of each fixture, as fans await how their team will be lining up.

But things have now been switched up for the 2025/26 season.

Instead of team news being released 60 minutes before kick-off, it will now be revealed to the public 75 minutes beforehand.

This is the same change that was made in the Premier League last summer, with the EFL now adopting the earlier line-up release.

Bout time.

I know this might not appeal to everyone and at the end of the day goal difference might come into it at the end of the season, but if the scenario plays out that we are scoring at will against Sheff Wednesday, I hope we show a bit of humility and ease off. I'm all for breaking records, but should that opportunity arise, I feel it would be somewhat of a false statistic. Yeah, win comfortably, if we can, but let's not humiliate a fellow Championship team who are struggling through the ineptitude of a terrible owner.

Loser mentality, if we can beat them 20-0 we should. Can’t be crying off because they’re having a tough time. For what it’s worth I think this game will be a lot closer than people think, it’s got hull away where they had about 9 first team players fit written all over it

Although I can't see us doing a Southampton away on them then you'd at least hope it won't be a nervy affair with just one goal that setttles it, if any!!

15/2 on the draw is actually good value, likelihood is their starting 11 is still lower championship standard.

 

                       Stolarczyk

Hamza Vestegaard Okoli Thomas

                        Soumare

             Skipp.              BEK

Fatawu.                                Mavididi

                         Ayew

 

Subs: Begovic, Nelson, JJ, Faes, Winks, McAteer, Monga, Evans, Daka

For similar reasons we thought Hull would be a walk over on the opening day in 2016 and that didn’t work out. Any win will do for me.

Aren't the reasons vastly different?

There's probably some money making opportunity behind it.

They’ve got enough senior pros plus U21’s that don’t need to be registered 

 

opening few games of the season are notable for all teams having fitness issues - as far as I’m concerned this is a flip of a coin game.   I might have a few quid on them and the draw !

Likely XI for you guys? 

 

Without taking the piss I think there could be value in -5 Leicester at 12/1

 

Or any Asian handicap bets.

Thank goodness!! Someone who's NOT included Soumaré in their preferred starting 11! Why have people started putting him in? Vesty's dog would be a better proposition than Mr. Lope-about.

It'll give folk an extra 15 mins to express alarm at the starting 11.

In fact, to save people typing often used comments, just copy and paste these useful phrases below.

 

WTF.

FFS.

Marti out.

Soumare, Skipp really!

Where's the yoof?

Look at that bench. :facepalm:

Faes, Vesty really!

Is Top there?

I see the Happy Clappers are out in force.

Vardy not even on the bench. Is he injured?

 

And, if we go a goal up and/or win

HMS Piss the league.

Thought the same when listing the 11, I’d be amazed if he starts ahead of Winks or  Skipp.

I'm all for winning 5 or 6 nil, but if we are getting into the realms of double figures, it would feel a little false for me. I appreciate it would be a great lift for the team and fans to have a massive win. As I say, it's just my own feeling and I appreciate others will want us to win by the highest score possible. It could however, also be an anti climax where we scrape a 1 - 0 victory because they deploy a low block effectively and we haven't figured out how to break that down yet.

You can only play the team before you, and as a professional you treat every kick-off exactly the same as the last.

 

Besides which, scoring is good for players. It's a habit. If you have a chance to score, you've got to try to score.

 

That said, this sort of premature talk is cheap. They're pros too and they will be out there to win as well.
