It’s been a tough start to our first season in the Championship in a long time. Opened with a couple of early draws where we conceeded equalisers in stoppage time (95th to Leeds and 90th to Boro), then two big losses to Sunderland and West Brom.

Doesn’t get any easier over the next couple of weeks with Burnley and Sheffield coming up either - but great to see Silvera at least making the pitch!

So Hearts are having a horrific start to the season.

Theyre bottom of the table on 1 point, having lost 4 in a row having drawn 0-0 with Rangers on MD1.

Staying in Nagoya currently. There’s a Nagoya Grampus fan show on the tv, Langerak is on reflecting on his time before going back to the Shame in January. His favourite saves, former coach paying tribute and such.

Pretty neat a thing like this can get air time.

Dario Vidosic had a great start to his WSL coaching career with a 4-0 win over Everton.

Michael Valkanis lasted 6 games at Adana Demirspor- got sacked after 1 draw and 5 losses in 6 games.

Not exactly an inspiring record as manager, at least so far.

That’s worse than Kewell

Kewell really fucked up by leaving Crawley.

Was actually doing alright with them before he left for Notts County.

Gauci made his debut for Villa in the league cup against Wyxombe. Sounds like he had a really good game- 5 saves, 87% pass accuracy

Had a solid game, Villa fans talking him up online. He needs to up his shithousery game if he wants to dislodge Martinez :smile:

Gauci has come a long way since being Ben Kennedy’s number two at the Mariners

Yeah being #2 to the best keeper in the world AND Martinez is quite a journey

Circati has unfortunately done his ACL.

Of course.

Farrel made his Portsmouth debut, and seems to have had a good game. Souttar and Silvera also played in the 0-0 draw

Jackson Irvine played another really good game for St Pauli getting their first win in the Bundesliga smacking Freiburg 3 nil.

Seems to be the only Aussie getting regular minutes in the top 5 now. At Ipswich, Luongo’s on the bench and not getting off it and dont think Burgess has made a squad, Circati did his ACL and I think Metcalfe’s just getting some sub apearances

Metcalfe came off the bench at halftime against Freiburg.
