That "front 5" of Haaland supplied by Silva, de Bruyne, Foden, Grealish is close to unstoppable unless you park the bus and even then Haaland can score ugly goals as well. Unless injury strikes, I can't see any other team being as consistent as City and their system means that they can cope with absences if they have to. Given Liverpool have already conceded a 10 point lead to City in 8 games they look out of it unless City collapse.
Notts County have Macauley Langstaff with 15 goals in 11 games - that's a decent strike rate - no doubt a team higher up will be sniffing around him.

You will need him to have his goal scoring boots on for your top of the tale clash against Wrexham on Wednesday morning. The table toppers have knocked in 31 goals in their 11 games so are no strangers to finding the back of the net. Their defense is pretty miserly too with just the nine having crept past their keeper so you will have to be accurate at both ends of the field at Meadow Lane to leapfrog them into top spot - good luck.

It's a pretty big game in the division with both teams going well and only the top team guaranteed to go up. Getting nervous already

@KiwiPie He picked up an injury against Sweden and played with his calf and ankle heavily strapped against Norway (but still scored the winning goal his 50th for Serbia). He limped off on Saturday and there has been no real news from Fulham since.
The club have been pretty open about injuries to the likes of Wilson and Salomon this season so I am hopeful his substitution was preventative. Writing was on the wall by that stage. Newcastle were going to win so why run the risk. October is crucial for Fulham as we have a run of winnable games that could see us go a long way towards securing our place in the Premiership. Despite what some say we are not a one man team but we still wouldn't want to lose a guy that has been banging in goals at just under one a match for the last 18 months.
It is amusing how quickly the conversation has pivoted from Mitrovic can't score in the EPL to Fulham are nothing without his goals.

Current goals scored table
Arsenal 20
Tottenham 19
Liverpool 18
Rest of Man City 15
Brentford 15
Erling Haaland 14
Brighton 14
Fulham 13
Newcastle 12
Man U 11Fucking cheat code. And also awesome to watch. I sorta want him to just run rough-shod all over the comp and set records galore
-
@mariner4life I first remember seeing Haaland at the 2019 U20 WC, where he won the golden boot with 9 goals (all scored against Honduras). He didn't score against NZ, who won 2-0. Take that Erling!
-
Haaland has been incredibly well managed. Could probably have gone to a big club from Molde, but chose Salzburg. Could then have gone to a massive club but chose Dortmund. Contrast that with countryman Ødegaard who went to Real Madrid at 15.
Makes me feel old though. I remember when his dad was assaulted by Roy Keane. That was nasty.

struggling to think of a worse act on a sports field. Especially from someone of that profile. Especially when he fully admitted it was intentional.

@KiwiPie i at least can confirm i'm interested, all aspects, Wimbledon were there not long ago...chance we'll be there again (although we did get our second win of 2022 on the weekend) plus all the aspects of the fan ownership stuff
currently the fact they cant buy their way out of that league easily is one of the only things stopping more people wanting to sell out....but then the fact they cant get out also mean we'll do anything to stop going back there

Turn your ground back into the venue for the car boot sale and you might make some money.

@Crucial it was a great market! we probably still could in the areas around the ground

I “rented “ old bikes from there for a while. I say rented as every now and then I would have to repurchase it after it got flogged from outside Tescos. £20 every couple of months was a reasonable price

I wonder if it would be better for all teams if it was 4 up, 4 down between League 2 and the National League. One disastrous season and you can fall out of L2 and it is a really hard division to get out of given the number of ex-league clubs fighting each other every season.
-
@KiwiPie Would that help though as you would still have just as many clubs coming down so effectively it would still be as much of a shit fight.
Looking at the teams that are currently in the National League there are a lot who have played in the Football League but most briefly.
I guess you all want to emulate Luton or Rotherham. At least there is automatic promotion. There were some decent non-league teams prior to 1986 who never got the chance to go up.
