After years of top flight football they were trying to move on to the next level. Sunderland, Leicester, Southampton, Boro etc all moved stadium around that time. In hindsight, it was a bad move for Cov but at the time they believed it'd propel them to bigger things. 

That is a fair point. My counter would be Roker Park, Filbert Street, The Dell and Ayresome Park were all falling apart whereas Highfield Road looks a decent ground even by today's standards.

Barnsley's winning run comes to an end with a 0-0 at home to Derby. 

 

Had a look at Derby's team. I dont recognise any of their players bar Wisdom and Forsyth.

Am surprised that you never heard of Colin Kazim-Richards, who played for a few football league sides such as Blackburn and Brighton in the past.

It was in a shithole. Hillfields where it was located was basically Leicester's Highfields. If they wanted to push more than football, they couldn't stay there. No parking and no venue hire. It only held 24,000 as well

Yep, used to park there occasionally as it's about the closest you can to the Uni without paying. The sort of area where you're the odd one one out if you haven't got a St George's cross in your window. One extreme to the other though with the Ricoh.

 

There's so much empty space around Warwick Uni and beyond that would have served as a better location, thus making it far more accessible to the M69/M40/M42 but I imagine there must have been some reason against that area.

The Championship will have a problem soon, looking at the fixture list. Rotherham's match is off this weekend- they are already three matches behind and all of those have been rearranged for midweeks. Including the midweeks when matches are already scheduled, there seems to be no space for Rotherham v Coventry to take place.

Ivan Toney now at 26 goals and 9 assists in 34 games, madness.

Read an interview with him the other week and we let him go, which I didn't know. 

 

Brentford seem to know how to spend on strikers. Tony, Watkins, Maupay, Hogan....

Huge result against Bournemouth. Would be great if Brentford could sneak the top 2 and Barnsley came up through the play offs. All for unfamiliar teams mixing it up.

Barnsley would be so good coming up. The away day there is class.

Derby have only scored 25 goals this season (in 36 games)

 

11 from open play 

11 set pieces

2 own goals

1 penalty 

 

Unreal stats
