Solid and great start to the season for Wigan.

Yeh I'm rooting for Fleetwood to be finally promoted this season - another small club in the chamipionship!

I'll be rooting for Shrewsbury this season, I usually have a team in each tier down to National League North and South, the Scottish football league and the Welsh Premier. Last season it was Coventry, so that didn't go too well.

John Sheridan still manager of Oldham following a poor start to the season.

 

 

So far a surprising club on top of the league with Shrewsbury Town leading after 7 games.

 

 

Shame to see Franchise Club beat AFC Wimbledon tonight. Bit surprised it was played at night.

Chalton is champion :D

Are you a Charlton Athletic supporter then, blackmint?

AFC Wimbledon may get in trouble for referring to MK Dons as MK at the game lol.

Oldham have parted company with John Sheridan by mutual consent.

Ady Pennock has also left Gillingham by mutual consent.

And Shrewsbury Town still remain unbeaten following a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe United. A great start to the season for them.

 

 

Shrewsbury are doing fantastically!

Shrewsbury are doing a lot better than I thought they would.

My hometown Gillingham are practically rock bottom, they were practically so close to winning the league 2 years ago, till they blew it in the play offs. I can see them going down a league at the end of this season, they certainly need to pick themselves up a bit and start scoring.

Gillingham actually finished 9th! :P

 

Also, 18 points off the top spot isn't exactly close to winning the league... :lol:

And still Shrewsbury remain in the Top 2, fantastic start to the seaaon for them.
