  • Ep68: Match Day 6 - (Futile) Predictions Episode!
    Sep 20 2024

    In this episode we take a look at all of the upcoming fixtures for Match Day 6 in the EFL Championship.

    This has to be one of the hardest leagues in the world to predict so the word futile isn's out of place. We got a few correct results and scores last week, but both of us scored relatively poorly.......but David got 2 points, and Tom got 7 points.

    The scoring format is;

    Correct Score = 3 points

    Correct Result = 1 point

    Incorrect Result = 0 Points

    Join in and predict the sores and let us know in the comments on our Youtube channel how many points you get for the week.

  • Ep67: Manager of the Month Curse! and What's Going On At Stoke City?
    Sep 20 2024

    Summary

    Graphs and Charts for Episode 67 (Ignore the numbering on the document lol)

    In this episode, Tom Butterfield and David Bromley discuss the impact that Regis Le Bris has had on Sunderland so far this season and whether Sunderland are a good bet to continue their good run of form regardless of the recent surprise loss away to Plymouth Argyle F.C.

    They also take a deep dive into the recent surprise sacking of Steven Schumacher at Stoke City F.C. Most fans and Championship followers seemed to be surprised by the timing of the sacking..... and the sacking itself..... but the numbers never lie, so David looks at the attacking output Stoke have served up so far this season to see how they stack up to the rest of their competitors.

    Was there a power struggle between Jon Walters and Steven Schumacher? Can all of these managers who have come in and out of the Stoke City revolving door be bad managers? Or should we now take a closer look at those in charge of player recruitment?
