    Bradford v Harrogate on SkySports tonight 

    2 ex CAFC players starting for Bradford

    Billy Clarke and Lee Novak
    At the start of the century Bradford were in the premier league. Harrogate were in the Northern premier league division 1.

    I can't believe a club the size of Bradford have spent so much time in L2 in recent years. Parky got them up (and to Wembley) but after he left they've slumped back down again

    Oxford v Crewe called off at 2:40PM due to a player in Crewe team testing positive.

    This afternoon’s Sky Bet League One fixture between Oxford United and Crewe Alexandra has been postponed due to a positive case of COVID-19 being identified within the Crewe Alexandra squad.

    Each case is judged on its individual merits, and due to the circumstances, the Club has advised the EFL it is unable to fulfil the fixture as players and first team staff are now required to self-isolate in line with EFL and Government guidance.

    A revised date for the rearranged fixture will be confirmed in due course.



    The replayed game was tonight 


    And its been called off due to covid cases again, despite Crewe playing on Saturday.

    So they had the Covid cases on 3rd October didnt have them on 10th October when they beat Wigan, but now they are back again on the 13th when they are due to play Oxford again.

    I'm struggling to understand the rules regarding football postponements, as sometimes the games have gone ahead despite a team missing several players

    Yeah its odd how Crewe are allowed to have these games called off - But then there has been so much fuss about Tranmere who were forced to play their reserves

    The EFL even put out a statement saying that with Tranmere they couldnt guarantee that they wouldnt have been given a 15-pt penalty had they not played Salford

    It’s very confusing what’s coming out from the club. They’re saying four more players have tested positive. Presumably the Wigan players from the weekend will all need to be tested too.

    The second time Oxford have had their game vs Crewe postponed at short notice, and for them it must be infuriating that Crewe managed to play another game between the 2 dates.

    Robinson has been on the phone to the EFL to complain. I imagine he's about a 3rd of the way though his call  :D

    A surprising scoreline, MK Dons beating Gillingham 2-0. Gillingham were 4th before today

    5 in 5 for Toney at Brentford now.

    What's the betting he moves to the Premier league for £30m+ within 2 years?

    Interesting question 

    With the whole of Wales going into a full lockdown from Friday for 17 days.

    What happens to Swansea, Cardiff and Newport games.

    Is there an exemption for sports due to testing or will they just be postponed

    Werent Leicester allowed to keep playing when that region went into lockdown during Project Restart?

    Jammy Millwall get to play a Luton side without James Collins who tested positive

    Jammy? We absolutely schooled them tonight all over the pitch. Doubt he would have made much difference.

    In a season when there already appears to be no outstanding side in the championship, a solid side like Millwall are (annoyingly) almost certainly going to be in with a promotion shout. Still early days though.

    It always pains me to say it but they have been well run the last few years and made a good appointment in Rowett in my opinion. If they had a bit more money to give him they would probably have a good shout for this season...they still may be like you said.
    They dont have the budget of say Brentford or the teams that came down, but they won't be an easy game for anyone.

    I also think Boro could be a bit of a dark horse this season

    Can a Neil Warnock team really be a dark horse?

    He seems to be one of these Managers who naturally gets his team competing at the right end of the table

    Millwall have won the games you expect them too, lost against Swansea and drew at home to Brentford. They’ve got a nice few games over the next 3 as well. Getting into November and December their fixtures warm up a bit, so I’d expect them to drop off slightly, however I wouldn’t put sneaking into the playoffs past them this season.

    If I was just looking at results I’d agree with you, but we played very well against Swansea. A draw or even a Millwall win wouldn’t have been unfair. 

    I think we’ll be there or there abouts the play offs come the end of the season. GR has got us playing some really nice stuff, as a cohesive unit. Every one knows their job, and we have decent cover for every position now, which helps as games this season are going to come thick and fast. 

    Btw, who did I have that (drunken) bet with a few weeks ago? The one where if we don’t go up I’ll donate a bullseye to the Upbeats but if we do go up he has to walk naked on South Bermondsey platform with nothing on but a Charlton scarf? 😂

    Another 2 goals for Toney already in the 1st half tonight, you suspect that if Brentford don't go up, he'll be yet another player leaving Brentford for a fat profit

    Impressive start to the season, 7 so far, scored twice 3 games in a row.
