    Onel Hernandez is the latest Norwich player to head back to the Championship on loan, joining up with Middlesbrough for the season. He's struggled with injuries recently and has struggled to get consistent minutes because of it, but if Boro can keep him fit and get him a good spell of games he...

    Great to see Paul Cook keeping up the good work at Portman Road, following perfectly in the steps of Lambert.

    Really wish him well, as I'm convinced he'd have been good enough for us in the Prem if he hadn't been so plagued with injuries throughout his development: I remember he came off the bench for us once having just returned from injury, before having to come off a couple minutes later after he...

    Championship 2022/23 Thread

    Certainly interested to see how he does with them, given the Norwich connection and his stated desire to manage us one day in the future. It definitely feels a tad premature and like he's on a hiding to nothing somewhat, given Swansea are now working on a much lower budget than they've had for a...

    Young and raw, but made a few cameo appearances for us last season and looked fairly promising, quite strong and with decent positioning. The only real question mark is why he basically never played for Swindon: there were some rumours on our end that he was late for training one day and then...

    We've sent Luxembourg international Danel Sinani out on loan to Huddersfield Town for the season, with them having the option to sign him on a permanent transfer next summer. As far as I understand, we signed him last summer under the assumption that we'd lose Buendia and/or Cantwell, but as...

    Step 3 and below football

    Fixtures for two of the three Step 3/4 leagues have released today, the Southern League saving their fixture release until Friday for whatever reason. We start our season on the 14th of August with a visit to newly-promoted Sporting Khalsa, and end the season with an away trip to Sutton...

    We've sent Sam McCallum out on a season-long loan again, this time to QPR.

    We've sent Akin Famewo back out on loan to Charlton for the season, with them having an option to sign him permanently next summer. No surprise from our perspective, really, as he's fallen even further down the pecking order with the emergence of 19-year old Andrew Omobamidele in the same...

    I honestly thought we'd be sending him on loan to a Championship team this season rather than League 1, even considering the Russell Martin connection and that you apparently play similar tactics to us. He's young and raw, but there's a lot of talent there and he didn't look out of place in the...

    2021/22 Squads

    Promising young keeper, but has fallen down our pecking order a bit with the emergence of Dan Barden and Archie Mair and after missing most of last season after rupturing his Achilles. A loan to Southend is probably a decent move for him to try and get back into shape, but if we're loaning him...

    League 2 Promotion Play-off dates 2020/21

    Must be absolutely devastating for Newport to lose a play-off final in that manner, absolutely undeserved. Congratulations to Morecambe though, reaching the 3rd tier for the first time in their history. And hey, if a club as small as Accrington Stanley can survive in League 1, no reason...

    League 2 Promotion Play-off dates 2020/21

    That's a controversial call, to put it lightly. Contact definitely outside the box and really not much of it to begin with, but he falls in the box and you can see why the referee would give it as a penalty from his angle even if it is definitely the wrong call. Newport immediately made to rue...

    Playoffs 2020/21

    Congratulations to Blackpool. Probably the deserved winners in the end and good to see them get back to the Championship after their troubles of the past few years. Would have been great to see Lincoln make it to the second tier so soon after escaping non-league football, and hopefully they can...

    Playoffs 2020/21

    "Where's this come from?" Asks the Sky Sports commentator, having spent most of the game talking about how Blackpool have been utterly dominant. Lincoln need to get themselves back into this quickly and stop Blackpool building any more momentum than they already have with that second goal.

    Well done Brentford

    Congratulations to Brentford, well-deserved after coming so close last year and recovering from selling key players to finish 3rd again this year. Though, surely Bournemouth would also be firmly in contention for second-smallest club to ever play top-flight football, especially now that...

    I'd forgotten about him actually, as today wasn't exactly one for Swansea to shine defensively. Only doubt I'd have is whether we'd want to pay what Swansea would probably want for him, as I'm not sure he'd be able to displace Gibson or Hanley as the main two. If he was cheap, though, I'd much...

    The challenge for Brentford will be to see if their recruitment can scale to the level required for Premier League survival, especially with new Brexit rules essentially closing off some of their favoured markets like French Ligue 2: it's easier to find cheap gems when below the Premier League...

    Swansea had been having a decent spell of pressure for a while there, but that idiotic tackle from Fulton should put paid to that. Terrible, clumsy tackle.
