A sleep-inducing defeat in Brum but “who cares” as the playoffs await
|
For obvious reasons, as soon as Oliver Langford’s final whistle went at St Andrew’s, the TV was turned off. As deserved as their promotion was, I had not the stomach for an Ipswich Town love-in, nor the sight of blue flares, jubilant pitch...

Once Operation Playoffs is over, time for the page to be turned

Even Norwich City couldn’t screw it up from here. Could they"

Finally! EFL checks on Norfolk Group are complete and we move forward

It?s only right to start with those three little words:
I was wrong.
November?s abject 3-1 defeat to the ten men of Blackburn at Carrow Road was a personal tipping point. Wagner had to go.
