If Scott Parker be Becoming from Fulham?
Is this Nathan Jones’ last chance at Stoke? How can Lincoln survive without the Cowleys?
Below are five things to look out for in the Sky Bet EFL on Saturday…
On paper, Fulham have among the strikes. Aleksandar Mitrovic would still walk right into a No 9 function at a reasonable few Premier League clubs, Anthony Knockaert and Tom Cairney would be the greatest players in the league final time that they featured in a full campaign at this level along with Ivan Cavaleiro was also a star actor for Wolves who more than held his own when called upon at the Premier League.
Having blown Millwall away a few weeks ago, it looked as though they had the capability but have stumbled against a draw and Nottingham Forest for an Cardiff. There’s been a suggestion that under Scott Parker they can be too predictable although they have the ability to set a few goals.
“Compared to some of the recent supervisor appointments in Craven Cottage – in particular Felix Magath – Parker has really made a decent start to his managerial career,” Fulham podcaster George Singer told Sky Sports.
“But, there are some worrying trends that he wants to quickly rectify – notably his strategic stubbornness and inferior in-game direction. I’m figuring he enhance in this regard. However, he wants to fix it quick as time is ticking fast if we want a realistic stab at automatic advertising, which is the club’s clearly stated goal.”
Parker faces his sternest examination of the season so far as West Brom see Craven Cottage on Saturday, live. We’re likely to learn a lot more about him then.
Stoke have cropped up a couple of times this year but, frankly, so long as a club of ambition and their standing continue to prop up the branch, they will be a topic.
The level of patience that the hierarchy of the club have demonstrated using Nathan Jones is remarkable, but there’s little doubting that things need to enhance swiftly, and it is known by him.
Should they lose to Bristol City on Saturday it might appear a strange choice to not use managers to change to then fire Jones, but yet another destructive defeat could be the tipping point.
Some of the information indicates that they have not been acting as their results, and it is mistakes at the ends of the pitch which have cost them so far.
“We aren’t hiding away from it, we haven’t been good enough and we want some big effects,” admitted striker Sam Vokes, that has just scored in the Carabao Cup so far this season. “We’ve played some good football and had a bad luck along the way, however, it’s all about getting those first few points and we know it’s what the fans want to watch. Results haven’t been up to standard and there is just 1 way to flip it we want an effect Saturday.”
Rarely does a manager get so synonymous with a club in only three-and-a-half years as Danny Cowley – along with – brother Nicky – became Lincoln City, but inescapable nature of the English football pyramid is their extraordinary victory at Sincil Bank was going to direct them everywhere eventually.
There’s been some surprise that their next destination would be Huddersfield, who’ve struggled badly so much this year, but if you think about the human element – which Danny and Nicky have been PE teachers and part-time coaches maybe not too long ago – and it becomes easier to understand the inability to resist the temptation of taking over a club which were at the Premier League only four months ago.
“Nicky and I’ve got a burning ambition to challenge ourselves at the greatest possible degree,” Cowley informed Lincoln’s official site upon his departure. “We do not know whether an opportunity as good as that one will come around again and we never need to live with sorrow.
“It has become the greatest rights for Nicky and I, to manage Lincoln City FC. We will forever maintain this football club and with Concord Rangers FC it will always be the result that we search for. We’ll never ever forget the service we have had and know that we wouldn’t be in this fortunate position without all of you.”
Back-to-back an EFL Trophy win, promotions along with an FA Cup quarter-final look as a side, the Cowley brothers are going to be a tough act to follow. First-team coaches Andy Warrington and Jamie McCombe take caretaker charge.
It is the start of a new era for Bolton Wanderers. A new manager from a completely new side on the pitch due to their visit and potentially the dugout in Keith Hill to Rotherham.
Ignoring the reality of their situation – they are 16 points adrift of safety because of their own points deduction – it is defined as an afternoon of hope and enthusiasm for the Trotters in the New York Stadium.
Bolton announced nine new signings and all can take to the field apart from Joe Bunney, who was injured in a road crash.
“Our season starts now, it’s brilliant exactly what the children have done, they have been absolutely excellent, we’re really thankful for them we are now beginning our season,” said new manager Hill.
“We don’t wish to perform 39 friendlies, we want to be aggressive in the league – and we’ll be. We are not here in order to write this season off and ready the football club next season, this year is alive and kicking.”
Dino Maamria might have led Stevenage to within a point of this year, but that was sufficient to protect him seven winless before this week, prior to being dismissed.
In his place comes the fascinating caretaker appointment of Mark Sampson, ” the England Women’s head coach who had been sacked following four years at the helm.
Sampson, 36, has been for just over two months in Stevenage, having been named as a trainer in July. But his caretaker role’s announcement was followed by a round of allegations of discriminatory language against him, which were refuted by the club.
Sampson himself only wanted to revolve around the upcoming game against Carlisle and club legend Maamria’s death. “It has been a challenging period and it is never pleasant when a member of staff, a colleague, who loses his job and someone who was so heavily joined to the soccer club over many decades,” he said. “It’s currently up for us to try and find a means to move forward now.
“That amount of professionalism was outstanding and their reaction since Sunday’s news was a charge to them not just as players but as human beings. The staff and the players come together and helped develop a positive mood and we are working very hard on the training pitch to find a positive result on Saturday.”
