Popular Post Kopparberg Posted October 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2022 Has it improved since 10 years or so ago ? I feel like there’s still the usual journeymen and a few terrible teams, but overall there’s a lot more variation in tactics and more passing than there used to be. Some of the clubs have players that could do a decent job in a Championship squad, but are in League One playing regularly. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parajack Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Well if there that good,why are they in Div 3??.....and why do they REMAIN here season after season? The ONLY Q is do we want to join the group of Clubs languishing here? Too good to drop further,not good enough to go back up..... That IS what it boils down to...... YES standards have probably gone up a little with the overall money in Football generally,but the longer we dont lead & top this Division,the more the pressure will build.... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The quality is better. Imagine the Megson-Jones team playing in this league. Very little skill. Dont know if it was more exciting though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Patterson,Smith,and Gregory,and bring Windass on later when one tires.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 3 really good teams, 4 or 5 other good teams, the rest, awful could all be relegation candidates! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 theres maybe 6 clubs that blow the others out the water just by there sheer size . ....you can get he odd one or two little clubs that can compete but for the rest surviving in league 1 is there limit .

DCFCOwls Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 It’s awful personally and if of us, Ipswich, yourselves can’t get out of it we must be awful as well That Lincoln game we lost was like our lowest point. Having Daytripper Lincoln fans chanting “Derby, getting battered everywhere they go“ was lovely 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mike Hunt Posted October 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2022 The quality has gone up massively Better managers, better players Players that were in the premiership are now in the Championship and Championship players in League 1 because of the influx of highly paid players being attracted to the Premiership 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them doing so doesn't really create gaps as it just needs 1 of there players to be disciplined enough to be Bannans shadow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickswfc Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Top 3 or 4 teams, yeah quite possibly. But not the league overall imo, similar to last time we were down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 A handful of decent clubs, with large grounds, crowds and squads. The rest are rubbish generally. They might raise their games when they play one of the big boys, but otherwise very mediocre. The nickname the pub league is fair. The cream has already risen to the top. According to the bookies, Plymouth will be third and finishing top is between us and Ipswich. The rest are also rans, even at this stage. A turgid bunch of teams that instigate no excitement when they're next up on the fixture list. The sooner we're out of it, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of football played in England at all levels is miles above what it was in previous decades Nearly every player has been coached and guided since they were about 5, with a much greater focus on control and movement compared to the run hard and long training that used to be the case in this country 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the clubs have players that could do a decent job in a Championship squad, but are in League One playing regularly. I’ve thought about this a lot in the last two seasons. The quality of football is far better now than previous seasons for example 2004-05 under Sturrock and 2011-12 Jones/ Megson. Back then there were a lot more kick it long and then play off the second ball type sides. Under Megson/ Jones especially we were very good at scoring from set pieces Llera/Reda. Now we have a lot more slick passing movement. League one now has many ex premiership sides that it never really had before. To get promoted out of league one this season could be a bigger achievement than those other 2 seasons 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 It's a LOT better than it was 10 years ago. At least half the teams attempt to play decent football now. It used to be full of lumps.. MK Dons and Sunderland were exceptional at times last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think what changed in the last 10 years is teams seem more reliant o loaning players from higher up the leagues instead of developing their own. I would love to see the laws on loan players reduced to 1 or 2 players not 5 or 6 as it currently is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The quality of football, from Wednesday at least, does seem greatly improved from the Megson and Sturrock teams; I’ve thought that for some time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The coaching, athleticism and professionalism has improved which in turn has seen an improvement in the quality of play generally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 A few good teams (we are one of them). Some average teams and quite a lot of real crap in this league. Horrible league and can’t wait until we are out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
