The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

[N o o d l e s]

How often does it happen that the three teams relegated from the Premier League the year before are right back up the next?

Huge goal from Ayew. What a finish

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Bournemouth hold serve at home 1-0. Brentford wont be too disappointed in that result.

Brentford outplayed them based on the stats.....seems a draw was a fairer result

How often does it happen that the three teams relegated from the Premier League the year before are right back up the next?

Not very, but it’s the worst.

like what’s the point even.

Watched the first 50 minutes of the Barnsley game. Very little quality on the pitch (except for Ayew, who shouldn't really be playing at this level, and for Swansea's goalie) but a lot of will. Any of these teams would have a really tough time in the Premier League as it is.

How often does it happen that the three teams relegated from the Premier League the year before are right back up the next?

I don't recall anything close really... many many teams have gotten caught in the Gulag that is the Championship.

These three teams seemed to be able to keep the bulk of their core which doesn't always happen.

How often does it happen that the three teams relegated from the Premier League the year before are right back up the next?

According to this it has never happened (in the Premier League era), even two clubs returning is fairly rare

The history of promotion and relegation in the Premier League era

Oxford is already lucky 45 minutes into the first leg that away goals dont count double.

 

[SSF]

Lincoln beat Sunderland 2-0 in the first leg.

Brentford v Bournemouth leg 2 underway

....Bournemouth score early on a breakaway goal off a Brentford corner. Amatuerish defending, they lost a player to injury in warmups and they look a little off.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Bournemouth 1-0 up within 5 minutes

Genuinely ludicrous defending from Brentford

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Brentford level from the spot

 

[spintheblackcircle]

handball against Bournemouth in the box and it's level now, fun match.

Toney 10-10 on PK's this year.

 

[Juve]

I don't think Toney should have gotten yellow. I would have given a red to the keeper, coming out like a raging bull.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Holy shit, red card for Bournemouth now. This game is f***ing nuts

 

[Juve]

Holy shit, red card for Bournemouth now. This game is f***ing nuts

Considering the game wasn't 30 minutes in, he should have just let him go 1-1 with keeper. Now they are playing a little over 70 minutes down one man.

 

[These Are The Days]

Brentford is really screwing this up right now.

 

[These Are The Days]

Whelp I was wrong. Brentford had almost no pace about anything they were doing

 

[SSF]

Yay, all 3 clubs wont be coming back up. Brentford back to the 100 million dollar match and we find out their opponent in 6 hours.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Come on Brentford!!!

 

[These Are The Days]

Lincoln vs Sunderland has the potential to be one of the better matches we'll see. I'd be happy for either team winning it.

 

[These Are The Days]

Lincoln City on the ropes.... Sunderland is just beating the piss out of them and they've still got over a whole half to go

 

[These Are The Days]

HOLY SHIT THIS GAME!!

 

[Juve]

I really hope Sunderland wins. I very much enjoyed the docuseries on Netflix. I even picked them as my team for one of my FM saves.

Haven't seen him on the board in ages but Stray Wasp must be laughing his ass off wherever he's watching this.
