good morning!
We had our American football fun yesterday. Let’s get back to proper football today.
That’s right gang, I’m talking about the lower divisions in the EFL. I haven’t watched much lately (because I’m either watching Spurs or the Championship), but with the international break well underway now’s a perfect time to talk about the others, right?
I did catch some of Wrexham-Shrewsbury on Saturday morning. Man, Shrewsbury looked awful.
EFL League One:
That’s probably why they’re near the bottom of the table. But we’re only a few games into the season. What I don’t understand is how some teams have played more than others ALREADY. So annoying.
Anyways, Wrexham are somehow top. Don’t ask me how - well, the win vs Shrewsbury helepd. Wrexham did have a good win over Wycombe a few weeks ago.
Still, there’s Birmingham to consider. They still seem like a Championship team to me. And Lincoln City have been knocking on the door for some time.
But - oh no! - what’s up with Leyton Orient? I’m not sure. I hoep they get it together quickly.
Top Six:
Wrexham (13 Pts, +9 GD, 5 MP)
Stockport County (10 Pts, +7 GD, 4 MP)
Barnsley (10 Pts, +4 GD, 5 MP)
Birmingham (10 Pts, + 3 GD, 4 MP)
Charlton (10 Pts, +2 GD, 5 MP)
Lincoln City (9 Pts, +4 GD, 4 MP)
Bottom Four:
EFL League Two:
As little I know of the League One, I know less of League Two. Haven’t watched a minute. Bradford City have been down there a while. It’s a horrible town. That was actually my first experience with England back in 2014. A cab ride from Leeds-Bradford. And then, of course, the cabbie ride back. Twas awful.
Yet somehow I have a soft spot for them. Maybe it’s that chicken.
Also, what’s going on with Accrington Stanley? They seemed so close to League One football the last two years. Is that all gone awry now?

Bottom Two:
Vanarama National League:
As little as I know about the League Two, I know even less about the National League. What even is a Tamworth?
