Oxford will go down and be no more threat than the 3 that came down this year (might win the league but might do a Luton).  Sheff Wed have a good chance of having a points deduction now that the potential buyers have pulled out.  I'm not wishing it on them as they deserve a break, but they have plenty issues.

WBA and Leicester different kettle of fish, looks like one of them will come down and probably do a Cardiff.

Fair points and agree with Oxford.

Never know with the Wednesday situation, I thought Cardiff were in financial trouble (granted not in admin) and Derby weren’t exactly flush, but the big teams seem to still be too good for L1.

A few other points from watching the EFL show

- there seems to be loads of goals scored from corners. I’d love to see some stats but I’d bet that this season has seen materially more than normal scored across the leagues.

- Kevin Lisbie’s lad at Posh is mustard. I’ve took note of him because of who his dad is and he seems to score or create every time I see him.

- Port Vale’s pitch looks like something from the 80s, it makes PNE’s look like Wembley!

- Evatt is as deluded as ever

Unless Wednesday get a good takeover, fairly quickly, with decent money to spend, then their squad is going to be light on experience.

Rangers bottled

Their kids were great against us though.

They did play against 10 men for 70 minutes tbf

Looking at our XI, 3 left permanently since and another 4 on loan.

Cracking game and atmosphere.  Proper fiesty old fashioned game, helped by the lack of quality at times.

Many of whom you would imagine would be snapped up.

If the takeover doesn't happen, they're fucked.

Very soft pen and sending off against Palace at OT 😡

Ridiculous. If it’s a foul it’s outside. I can’t see how they landed it as a pen and a red.

If ref gives a pen for denying goal scoring opportunity is that not just a yellow rather than red under "double jeopardy"

As long as the ref sees it as a legitimate attempt to play the ball he can give a yellow if he thinks he's just taken out the attacker then it's a red.

Defender definitely had a little pull. Utd player maybe made a meal of it.

Soft, yes, but still a foul for me.

Started outside the box, and continued in.

How that equates, in terms of pen or free kick, I don't know. Presumably, where it ends.

Just seen it's Blackpool v Wigan on Saturday, both 1 point above the bottom 4.

Im still fucking fuming about that. We made them look decent and they're fucking awful.

I watched a bit of the Leeds v Man City game. 

Leeds fans booing what there was a 1 minute break to allow the Muslim players break their fast.  Lovely bunch.

I'd like to think Bolton fans would never do that,

Strange to stop the whole game because a few players chose not to eat that whole day.

I'd rather keep politics and religion out of football.

No different from keepers going down 'injured' so we can have time outs.

It could lead to all sorts of non related reasons to stop the game. After all its their chose.
