Football League: Discussion

A good first win of the season for Wimbledon, 1-0 away to Luton. Let's hope we can build on this, as we've had a slow start the last couple of seasons.

Good news for Coventry City, who are to return home to the Ricoh Arena after a 2 year deal was agreed with the stadium’s owners. Coventry have spent more than a year playing home games in Northampton, but will now return to their home ground in September.

Will be interesting to see what attendance is for 1st home game back in Coventry. Will the fans come back to watch them

3-0 ahead in 24 mins what the betting we scrape a 3-3draw

Fulham are in danger of doing what Wolves did falling from Premiership to League One the way things have started this season

The current owner of Leeds United does not employ football managers .
He employs Head Coaches (cheap puppet yes men who follow his instructions or are dismissed and make way for the next m/puppet).

Thanks for reminding me .
Anyway things are looking rather better now for Wolves.
Another good win today against an established Championship team Blackburn Rovers.
I looked at this game as a real test so for us to come through it with a 3-1 win is a very welcome outcome.
I had relatively low expectations for Wolves this season.
My target remains to get safe first and then if there are any games left then win as many as possible and see where we end up.
12 points out of 15 represents a surprisingly good start especially given the fixtures we were given in the first five matches. Really, really tough.
But I am all too aware the Championship is a real dogfight and it is relentlessly tough.
Feet very, very much on the ground. Much hard work to do in an extremely hard league.

Spot on with your assessment of the Championship ,Snookered .It's probably the hardest division in Europe to gain promotion from .
Wolves have made a very good start as have Forest .The top 2 normally keep in touch with top 6 until around late January / early February then pull away with their superiority .Which more or less matches your philosophy for Wolves .
Early days ,but you'd always take a good start over a bad 'un .
The International breaks play a part too .Bad for momentum ,better for strugglers to stop and take stock and plan for league resumption .
All in all The Championship is a proper marathon not a sprint ,with at least a dozen credible clubs with genuine chances of hitting the big time .
