Decided to start a free substack for some EFL ramblings. The aim is to upload weekly. #itfc #efl

Even applying the mother of all game-state caveats, 4.88xG is insane.
For context, Ipswich ‘only’ conceded 4.56 at Man United in August. #CityAsOne

I made a football quiz game where the obvious answer is the worst answer.
7 questions a day, give it a go before midnight 👇

Can’t go away to a team as comfortable on the ball as Cardiff are and be as poor out of possession as West Ham have been.
Nobody has a clue who’s picking up the runners and Castellanos’ lack of effort is embarrassing. Makes Piroe look like a workhorse. #whufc

Scott Parker to #WHUFC falls into this category as it's based on promotions rather than club suitability. Not sure the fans have the patience or the players have the mental toughness to 1-0 their way to promotion.
Even if it works, I'd change manager again in the summer.
A bit about league table theory and how struggling parachute clubs can fall into the trap when appointing managers #lcfc #twitterclarets

Absolutely no excuse for pissing this game away. We won't face a worse first-half opposition performance than that all season

Should be 2-0 up there (and had a penalty but the first goal probably wouldn't have happened if we'd got it)
Hull showing us wayyyy too much respect. Palacios ball retention excellent as usual but would like to see him be a bit more progressive with his passing #itfc

Dyche will inevitably get linked but this Burnley team suits playing front-footed football, they don’t have the defensive discipline or leadership to play how he wants.
Would be Rowett to Leicester with a bit of added nostalgia. A League table theory appointment.
Wolves was a weird choice of first loan for Sean Neave. Doesn’t have the physical presence or movement, albeit not helped by how static the rest of the team is.
Stinks of a January recall before spending the second half of the season in League One/bottom end Championship. #wwfc
The profiles in the Burnley defence are a real mess.
Not surprised that an in-possession back three of Ahmedhodzic, Julio and Walker has no positional discipline and looks so vulnerable defending counter attacks.
The decisions here are insane. Ridiculously high line with seconds to go, left back in the middle of their half pressing, Ekdal drops and no one follows, Walker comes across to try win the 2nd ball rather than the runner. Mental.

A Delap/Enciso/Lawrence front line probably completes 50 dribbles and 5 passes per game between the three of them
