Coaching staff hanging around for training? King to be appointed perhaps? Cheap option... Odd they've done it now and not a few weeks ago, which again leads me to think they have been waiting for someone to become available...

Must have agreed to get someone in sharpish then.

and new Categories C & D is introduced for a minimum of five games (at lower cost than any home league game during our last season in The Championship). I interpret that as C&D will be implemented for 5 games. Probably Oxford as Cat D and four others as Cat C.

Is it me or did Sheff Weds play Southampton 2 seasons ago and nearly beat them on the opening day?

Yes the youth are our first team

Must win?

It is.

Our game will be on 13th Aug.

The Ben Hamer derby.

First round is w/c 11 Aug 2025. Can't see any other dates.

But who's the bumming for...

Thanks Bert. Wise words as always.

The EFL have become too predictable.

The OS have messed up in some way. Either it's meant to be Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th, presumably the latter given the Thursday game,

Nov-Dec seems the most trickiest - Boro, Norwich, Southampton, Sheff Utd, Bristol City, Ipswich in the space of 6 weeks.

Ipswich in December again

Sheff Weds Preston (A) Charlton (A) Birmingham Oxford (A) Coventry First six

Fvcking nailed it.

Bloody hell @davieG

The monumental Kevin Pressman derby to kick things off.

Boro final day?

We're not a big enough pull for the Birmingham/Wrexham games as openers then if that's true above
