He is correct about Huddersfield's unbeaten league run.

However, their form this season has been unconvincing. Even the 3-2 win against Colchester was fortunate as the visitors deserved to win. Having said that, there is no reason why the Terriers will not return to the form of last season although any team with Tommy Miller in it won't get promoted.

Paul Jewell is my pick !

The Keane guy at Blackburn. Reckon if he loses his next game he's gone.

Tez4life, still disagree about being unbeaten. The playoffs are part of the league 1 program and are part of the decision as to which league you are in, unlike true cups such as the FA Cup. But we are arguing for arguings sake!!

Yes we have had a dodgy start but have looked good at home so far, that is a plus over last year!! I think this division is there for the taking, any team who can develop consistency could run away with it. I expect us, Hudds, Charlton, and Preston to be up there. The Blunts may surprise everyone but the January McCabe Sales may scupper their chances.

Crikey, just checked the Hudds Board.

Looks like the knives have been out for Clark! Won 50% of games in charge but that's still not good enough for a parochial team that's done nothing for 40 years.

And people say our fans are fickle!

Tez aged 4. The only match that actually counted in that 28 league unbeaten run you bottled it and lost 3-0!
You can argue as much as you like about whether it was in the league or not but you still lost!
Also, are you actually defending your manager?!
So far the only thing I've seen on your boards is to permanently slate Clarke (even with a victory)

Trotter Fan In Peace.

Keane at Blackburn will be the first.

Lower leagues? Possibly Sven at Leicester, especially if they;re not in the top two at christmas.

League One. Any of last season's relegated teams from the champ especially if they're not in the top six early. Especially looking at PNE here because I don't actually rate their chances. Phil Brown's a decent manager IMO but he hasn't got much to work with.

League Two? John Coleman at Accrington. He worked miracles last year but lost too many players over the summer and has absolutely no money to play with. I suspect someone higher up, (maybe PNE) will have noted last season's incredible performance and he may well walk sooner rather than later.
