Bluesteel. Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Thought it worth a thread on general EFL talking points outside our usual rivals. Bolton having a decent start. Rocky for derby and rumours of Darren Moore potentially taking over from Warne at some point? Currently losing at home again…let’s not go back to L1…please. Sunderland also ones to watch and similar challenges to us, mainly investing in youth which is a great idea if they pay off, but also sidelining some decent experienced players. Risky.

TheHawk Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Early days but wouldn't be shocked if Bolton absolutely walk that league, already scored 12 goals. Derby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I still don’t see Barnsley making the top 6. They’ve lost a few key players, lost a very good manager and replaced him with a novice, not only a step down in quality but also it looks like the club going for the cheap option which isn’t a great sign going forward. They had to go up last season, they’ve missed their chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that lack of experience and national league recruitment you’d have to think there will be spells during a season which may cost them.

At one point he was binned off by Barnsley but after a season or two he’s now looking hot property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching a stream dingles v posh Barnsley not firing on all cylinders but slightly more industrious, very even game, deflected goal just given them the lead, both keepers have made one outstanding save each. Mates a dingle and hes heard Coventry could be in for Kitching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Been watching Derby game for last 20 minutes. They're offering absolutely nothing going forward and just gone 2 down. That said Oxford look far better than last season, recruited well in the summer. Can't see anybody but Bolton and Barnsley romping this league now.

Bluesteel. Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 It’s always a bit misleading the first five games. But Derby could easily panic on warne. That’s a strong starting 11 that’s not performing. They lack depth though whoever is managing. Oxford looked alright when we played them under manning. Dingles perhaps showing some inexperience now. Kitching clanger. As an aside seems a lot of managers are getting booked still for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
