The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

1946-47...74 years...a life time ago.
I wonder how many still alive, Brentford fans from 1947.

 

[Rob]

Nice to see a new team in the EPL as opposed to the normal elevator teams.

 

[SSF]

That was quick for Lincoln. Blackpool really missing Ellis Simms presence.

 

[SSF]

1-1 at half

 

[N o o d l e s]

Congrats to Brentford, and let's go Blackpool tomorrow so I can cash in on that parlay

Congrats!

 

[SSF]

Congrats!

Thanks, 3 to 1!!!

 

[SSF]

Congrats to Morecambe for making the 3rd division for the first time in their history!!

 

[Epictetus]

This Toney kid on Brentford has an insane goal-scoring record.
Great story too.

/thread that went somewhere I wasn’t expecting it to go

What predictions do people have for the lower leagues this year?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Bunch of failed Premier league teams at the top of the Championship so far, Fulham/WBrom/Stoke all tied with 10 pts after 4 matches and Nottinham at the bottom with 0 losing 4-1 goal matches

In League One, Sheffield Weds/Wycombe/Portsmouth all tied at the top with 10. Shrewsbury at the bottom with 0

In League Two, Forest Green is unbeaten with 12 and Bradford City lone 2nd with 10. Oldham at the bottom with 0, also losing 4-1 goal matches

Found this really interesting. Looks like the Euro's have inspired Championship clubs to switch to a 3 back.

Heated match between Stoke and Barnsley. Stoke were awarded a penalty in the last minute of the 1st half when the footage seemed to show there was no contact by the barnsley keeper and Stoke player dived instead. But no VAR so the decision stood. Justice was served though as the PK hit the bar and was then saved.

Abd then melee broke out in the dying moments of the match, in a throw in situation. Barnsley had three staff members sent off.

Footballer leaves young fan who was abused online in tears in touching move

Fulham defender Tim Ream gave young fan Rhys Porter a moment he would never forget by surprising him during a live television interview.

[JPBolts]

Hope he can beat this and come back stronger.

They did it on a cold wet Tuesday night in Wales, feels strong man

 

[HajdukSplit]

Wilder replaces Warnock at Middlesbrough

Cardiff and Barnsley still looking for new managers

 

[HoseEmDown]

I can see Dean Smith going to Cardiff. Big enough club who spend some money so good chance to get them back up.

LOL if Warnock goes back to Cardiff.

Another points deduction for Derby, this time 9 points and pretty much confirms their relegation. Even with the 12 points deduction it was difficult but they had a small chance to stay up

 

[SSF]

Derby is now 18 points from survival, Reading will also be only 4 points above relegation zone with their upcoming 6 point deduction

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Top 8 looks to be relatively recently demoted EPL squads. Yawn.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Derby have actually won three in a row and are in the double digit point mark despite a 21 points deduction, if anything Rooney is securing himself at least another Championship job next season (if not higher). If you told me 10 years ago Rooney would be a decent manager I;d laugh at your face

Top 8 looks to be relatively recently demoted EPL squads. Yawn.

Pretty much, Coventry have fallen a bit this past month as it looked promising for them to start the season

 

[These Are The Days]

Is Blackburn's run of success sustainable? I can't remember the last time that team even managed 3 wins a in a row nevermind 6. They're a hair away from possibly challenging for 1st or 2nd. Also, good on Sunderland to win 5-0 in their latest game. I hope for the day they make it back to the EPL. What a difference ownership makes
