EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

Lambert 1/6 with Sky Bet. I got no strong feelings, except relief if it's not one of the other muppets. I think he might bring some steady consolidation, which is fine for the time being.

Sherwood probably needs to stop applying for jobs above L2. Pearson would be a shoe in for next UKIP leader, Cellino would probably like his style, but most reasonable people don't like working with thuggish bullies. There will always be a lot of football fans that will say people should be judged on their net contribution to results, and all else is insignificant. It's a load of shit really.

pearson was warnock's recommendation for the qpr job during his brief advisory comeback spell (somewhere in between undermining both past and future managers and then recommending himself) so a lot of our biddable ukip partisans are on board with that

in fairness it is only political acumen stopping les giving sherwood the gig, in the unlikely event of relegation panic stations i could still see it happening

jfh is not quite a dead man walking but it's not looking good. clement taking over at the end of the season would be my tentative bet, despite m/l being exactly the same as jfh apart from being a wite brit with a dead qpr dad

seems a little odd that michael o'neill has rarely come up in these bettings so far

Sherwood seems like one of the most jumped up idiots in football, it seems insane he has ever been let anywhere near one big club, never mind two. I deduce this through a mix of physiognomy and listening to him talk a couple of times, but I feel sure I must be right.

didnt wake up expecting two separate full wolves belly laughs but every day is a winding road

spoke too bloody soon about sherwood didnt i... decent local sources claiming in the sun that he's in line if we lose at forest next

fyi we have never won at forest, ever, in history

Yikes :(

that xp is a real epic manager fite for the ages!

Been longing to log on the E&S and big up Saunders' expertise on brainlessness

“He tried to play like Guardiola-type football and in the Championship there is no respect – teams will not let you do that.”

yeah, can't see any of Pep's former clubs having done much in the Champo

At least his old pal Rushie gave up the management game when he realised he was absolutely no good at it. When you have just failed at Crawley and Chesterfield, perhaps not a good time to be playing the retrospective blame game.

Ram pictured about to mount Wolf

literally just turned it on and first thing i hear is "you wanna know you're in the trenches with the right sort of lads, these portuguese lads won't..."

i might just give up on English football maybe

how come everybody has these monogrammed trackie tops now? is it an EFL thing?

should've been 3 for Derby, softest near post header i think i've ever seen in my life

jesus we look relegated already

lol now Derby have one ping back out from the inside of the post - should've been 5

what's the point of being owned by billionaires if they won't sack the whole squad and start again?

SUB:

<- off Portuguese Dandy With Gloves
-> on King George Saville Prince of England

good on edwards with the half hour sub, not getting the job so do what you like

yellow card for saville. trenches

"I got this"

my brother remarked the other week that it's a topsy-turvy world when Dave Edwards is your most consistent player

really hope Paul Lambert knows CPR

needing a danny baathist insurgency here

so glad Hannah's staying so i'm watching this at home

there's nothing "Super" about Leicester vs West Brom, lads

ian holloway on his touchscreen there, drawing an arrow big enough to show how big a clearance the defender should have done

shit centre halves is a big part of our problem

also at least one too many selfish dicks who hold onto the ball when they have 3 team mates unmarked in the box

ah, the traditional 2nd half different team

ave it keogh you gimp

Ince with the bullshit penalty

looool

such a crowd pleaser our Dave

this has been a good, inept game

c'mon Wolves we can do these casual gamer cunts

jesus christ open goal from 6 yards

incredible save tbf!

yeah i was more bewailing the fact that he was stood there unmarked

lovely pass tbf!

anyway cmon, game needs an equaliser

ah well

i think Lambert can get this shower into shape tbh, still need at least one centre half with a brain and a proper centre mid beast but if we can get on top of games we should start winning

what's the word on saiss and prince wotsit

what i've seen of either of them hasn't been that convincing although i don't think the Prince has had a proper go in his preferred position

i think it was stupidly early to sack Zenga but when you look at relative lack of progress and some of the rumours about his laid-back approach to turning up and doing his job, it's basically too early to judge any of the noobs as i suspect none of them have been properly managed

so yeah either/both might be the solution to the midfield ish. the defence on the other hand is wretched. i still believe in Hause and would like Iorfa to have a spell at CB but they're kids and they need somebody alongside them with a slightly better ability to read the game and stand in the right place than Danny Baath is ever gonna have

the other reason i'm mildly optimistic about Lambo is because i think he will look to use the players we've got to build some fluidity rather than just replace everybody with Aryan shitkickers but i feel frightened even as i type that
