The EFL Thread

That all I'm hoping for, stay up first season. We started well which built up false hopes.
When your summer budget was 12M it's always going to be hard to compete, so lower mid table would be above expectations.

Just make sure you finish above O*ford.
 
I have a Leicester season ticket. It wasn’t an unexpected result for me. We are in freefall.

What did you think of Cifuentes? He did a great job at QPR, was popular with the fans and the squad. He turned around a terrible team in his first season. The following season the team seemed to veer between hot winning streaks and patches of terrible form. I guess confidence plays a big role in a tight league like the championship.
 
He has done himself a favour there and good on him.

The hierarchy believe they have a squad ready to challenge for promotion yet every fan and their dog knows we are miles away. The whole structure needs changing - the coach/manager is irrelevant as it stands. And recruitment - if you buy a donkey, it will play like a donkey.

Isn't that the issue with all club owners, everyone else is the problem apart from them ( Moshri, Venkys, Vincent Tan)
 
Decent deadline day for the Millers. Got a few decent youngsters in from Man Utd and Villa and more cover throughout the team. Tough game at home to Cardiff on Saturday but things are hopefully on the up 🤞

Despite being top we've really flattered to deceive all season for me. We were a little fortunate to get a draw at Burton Saturday as we only really got going for 15 mins or so after the break. We are definitely there to be beaten.

Looking forward to the trip though. Been to Millmoor but not the new ground so that's another ticked off. Getting up towards 70 now

Looking forward to Cardiff coming to Reading, one of the only two teams that will bring over 2,000 this season.

Thought you were very unfortunate in the reverse fixture. Could have won at a canter on another day.

Sadly can't make the game this time but normally a decent away following go given it's a simple trip across the M4

We did have a very good first half but missed some huge chances. Unfortunately paid the price for it with some cheap defending but we're a lot better now under Richardson. You seem to be a side that goes out there to win games and aren't worried about leaving space? Lincoln on the other hand are a physical side and rely on more dark arts. Would prefer to see Cardiff go up.

You'll definitely sell out, should be a cracker as long as Sky don't ruin it and make it a 12.30 game.

Good day at AFC Wimbledon and their new ground yesterday. Ended up sitting in the home end due to the small away allocation selling out but found a real mix of people from all corners of the world. Had Italians, Dutch and even a few from Japan nearby! Lovely set up and pleased to see them getting nearly 9,000 after having the club stolen over 20 years ago.

Less said about the game the better. A disaster of a result and performance, worst of the season :mad:
 
Boro 2-0 up at Sheff Utd. Could easily be 3-3. Boro’s keeper has earned his corn tonight with two cracking saves.

Boro are playing their best football of the season in the last few weeks under Kim Hellberg.

Still 45mins+ to play, and a lead to manage against a very good Sheff Utd team.
