The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Wrexham 3-0 win vs Reading, up to 4th.

A giant middlefinger to possession = equals domination people. 32% possession, 7 shots on target, Reading only one shot.

I don't think anyone since, like, 2010 has claimed that possession is the sole indicator of balance of play.

Literally happens almost every week here.

 

[JPBolts]

Louie Barry with his third goal for Stockport in 3 matches this season, and they are top at the moment. Think they will be in the hunt for top half/promotion as well this season

 

[Jussi]

Wrexham AFC still undefeated in League One after 3-0 away win vs Peterborough United. Up to 2nd.

Wrecks ‘em

 

[JPBolts]

As I just put in the transfer feed, Birmingham City bought Jay Stansfield from Fulham for more than £15m… and looking at it, 4 of the top 10 most expensive League One transfers are BCFC purchases this summer. Financially, they have to go up, right????

 

[Jussi]

Just checked if Wrexham were playing today and found out they played last weekend. Beat Shrewsbury 3-0 at home and top the table!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Plymouth with a 94th minute winner to take 3 points against Sunderland, who had started the year 4-0-0.

What the **** is this crap? And down 3-0 in the 80th minute already on top of it!

 

[Jovavic]

That Derby player completely Stefan'd that wide open net

 

[Tuggy]

What a start to the season for West Brom.

COYB!

Actually found a stream for Birmingham vs Wrexham. Tom Brady, David Beckham and Gary Neville sitting close to each other in the stands.

Edit: Rob McElhenney too, shown just after Wrexham went ahead.

Birmingham's big signing Stansfield brings them level after poaching on a soft rebound from Okonkwo.

Brady did the Cowboys/Saints in Dallas Sunday afternoon. Red eye to London? Don't know if you fly direct to Birmingham.

You do with a private jet, which I imagine Brady has access to.

Wrexham still top League One table after 2-0 wing over Crawley Town, Birmingham tied on points though, with a game in hand.

I watched their head to head. Birmingham outplayed them pretty bad.

Still impressive to be where they are.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a goal like that conceded by Leeds'Meslier in the 98th minute, he just let it slip through his hands to allow Sunderland back to earn a 2-2 draw and stay at the top of table.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

That's a stinker, it actually never made it to his hands, the ball was spinning very fast and shot off to the right. He was actually right in front of it, and then it rocketed to the right

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Another stoppage time winner for Plymouth against top half oppo - this time Blackburn. They had a tough fixture list to start the season and have come through it looking solid. After getting thwacked on opening day by a relegation rival, I was expecting the worst.

Agreed - that opening day was beyond bad.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

League Two is going to be wild. Most clubs have played 11 matches and Port Vale lead with 21 points and 10th place Wimbledon are only 5 points behind and they've only played 8 matches. Every week the table goes into a shaker

 

[Jovavic]

Still 35 games to go but Sunderland is three points clear at the top, will they find success this year and make their return to the PL? I've watched and enjoyed the show on Netflix but I don't really follow them, what's been the key to their success so far?

 

[Jussi]

Wrexham's Marriot breaks his leg, out for a long time. On the other hand, Paul Mullin is scoring again.

Not sure - I want to get my eyes on a game and see what's going on.
