It seems as though the salary caps in divs 1 and 2 is evening things out.
Some traditionally small clubs with low attendances are near the top such as Cambridge, Newport, Morecambe, FGR, Cheltenham
Less pronounced in div one but Lincoln, Doncaster also near the top of div one

Better Managers and we'll run clubs doing well

Lincoln city missed 2 penalties, against Doncaster Rovers, both saved by the goalkeeper, from 2 different players.

I hate saying they missed, they were on target but the keeper saved them

Today...Sunday.
Leicester 1-3 Leeds.
Don't usually watch Premier League, over hyped and overpaid imo.
Decided to watch this one, enjoyable game both sides looking to attack. A goal each cancelled out for offside.
A good win and three points for Leeds.

Been watching play back on Quest football programme this morning, took notice of the state of some of the playing surfaces.
Congratulations to the ground staff at NYS, the playing surface looks superb, Cardiff playing surface look good also.

Derby County's & Blackburn Rovers playing surface really bad, both were bare of grass in places, looking like a Sunday pubs ground after bad weather, & over use. big clubs sh*te playing surfaces.
