The EFL Thread

[4LEX]

Got to feel so sorry for the Reading fans watching their team struggling to get up the table and then get hit with this and knowing the owner is bleeding the club dry to the point of extinction

Bounced back with a 3-1 win away at Carlisle and loads of results going in our favour. Fully expect to get the 2 suspended points added on so a win today nearly offsets all the nonsense. Wycombe at home next week and a win would see us midtable.

Another Leicester defeat and our 106 record looks safe

Wycombe had a player sent off against Barnsley yesterday - he had only been on the pitch 10 seconds and never touched the ball

Looking at the stats they had all of the game. Not sure if those stats actually reflected events on the pitch but QPR had only three shots and scored with two of them, and Leicester had something like 80% of the ball.

That said, its results which count and they need to stem the tide. A play off spot given the first third of the season would be a nightmare.

We did have the bulk of the play, but created little yesterday in terms of clear cut chances, for the first time this season I would say. Thought QPR maanaged the game very well once they went in front.

The stat missed from this though is the expected goals, which QPR won despite only three shots on goal, reflecting how poor we were with possesion yesterday. Firs time really this season so not too concerned at this stage.

Gary Monk appointed Cambridge manager

Managing is a tough game. No disrespect to Cambridge but he was flavour of the month a few years ago, PL manager, and then it doesn't quite go right. Could be a very good appointment for Cambridge if he can keep them up. He is only 44, still very young for a manager.

Brilliant match between Ipswich and Bristol City. 5mins to go 2-2, and a pen now for Ipswich. Saved! But did the defender get a touch on the ball before the pen?

Dare we start believing

Cracking match. Looks like an Ipswich win now, currently 3-2

 

[Hobbit]

How is it not 4-2?

Proper football EFL. Much better product than the prem. proper clubs, proper fans

Argyle in freefall.

We've gone from mostly really attacking and entertaining to absolute dross since the new manager came in.

Right in the relegation dogfight now, carry on like this and we're down after looking so good for so long

Friday’s match will be interesting. A win there and you’ll be out of the relegation slots

Mental few weeks coming up with most of the top 4 still to play each other. I can actually see the battle for all 4 places coming down to the last day if the season

Last two games for us are fellow strugglers Millwall away, then promotion-chasing Hull at home on the last day...I really fear the worst

At least you know there are are only 2 spare slots in the relegation zone as we have last place secured
