Sky Bet EFL 2016/17

They should never have sacked Paul Clement.

[Bobfoc]

Not that I'll complain when Derby do badly, but hiring re-hiring someone you sacked in the first place probably wasn't going to be the best decision.

[Lineker]

Wigan have sacked Warren Joyce.

[Colly]

Shola missed a penalty on Saturday for I believe the first time ever. Fuck 2017. I've seen the replay and I still can't process it.

[Bobfoc]

But he still scored later to make up for it.

Fucking Graham Barrow is in charge there now.

Gary Rowett is the new Derby manager.

[Lineker]

Mark Warburton is the new Nottingham Forest manager. Those two play each other next.

[MDK]

Big Derby match, that

[Matt]

Big Forest match too

[Bobfoc]

This is the fifth match in a row between the two sides in which both teams have had different managers from the previous encounter.

Lovely comeback win last night against Notts County to go 16 clear of 4th, closing in rapidly on promotion now.

Game also ended with a classic "goalie up for the corner, break away to score in empty net" goal.

[Bobfoc]

From what I've heard, it wasn't a bad performance from Notts. Getting anything from the game was always going to be unexpected, but not getting humiliated by the top club is a reasonable second prize.

[The Lusophone]

I don't like MK Dons, but everything AFC Wimbledon did to them was just really really petty.

[lanky316]

AFC are hypocritical fucknuggets though. Moving out of the area and pushing aside another long standing club while still trying to pretend they have the high ground after running the club into the ground (and already moving away, albeit not quite as far away...) the first time.

@MDK sorry mate, I'm afraid the writing is very much on the wall for Orient. We've won 4-1 today and whilst it was tough going for an hour or so, we missed four absolute sitters and an 8-1 result would not have flattered us. Orient are sadly the worst team I've seen all season and it's a shame what's happening at the club.

I have however had a great day and three wins in a week mean we are now two games away from automatic promotion.

Half the first team are youth players. I'm resigned to relegation now unless something ridiculous happens. How did you find the stadium and the area?

Stadium is a good old school ground, will be a shame for it to not host league football. I quite like the area, we walked up the high street in Leyton, then to the Olympic Park and back through Newham. Nice park next to the stadium too. We donated to the LOFT fund too, hope the club can be saved.

[MDK]

Did you notice the sheer 10ft drop by the south stand behind the goal? You should have been able to see it from the away end.

[Adam]

I actually didn't! I liked that some people can watch the match from the comfort of their own apartment. During the warm up our goalies jokingly asked if they could have a cup of tea when a woman came out to fetch an errant ball from her balcony
