ITV will show some Championship and EFL Cup from 2025. Only 5 Championship games starting from 2025. But the 2025/2026 season 10 live games will be shown on ITV. https://www.efl.com/news/2024/may/3...-championship-fixtures-free-to-air-from-2025/
Ben Godfrey seems to be joining Atalanta in Serie A. Not really worked for him at Everton, I wonder if we have any clauses that may provide a windfall. Doubt he is moving for more than we got though
Former player Ian Murray has been sacked by Raith Rovers after losing their first game of the season. Kneejerk comes to mind.
We signed Borja Sainz from the lesser-known Turkish Superliga club Giresunspor, his first club outside of Spain. The better Turkish clubs tend to attract good players from top European leagues, who are approaching retirement.
Given how injuries seem to plague us season after season, I keep wondering how we compare with other clubs in that regard. Strangely, considering how virtually every other aspect of club and player performance is scrutinised, analysed, ranked, no such data-based comparisons seem to be available when it comes to injury records. How many days on average are lost to injury in the Championship? Do we lose more than most, fewer than most, or are we just bang average? If the former, why? I've always heard good things about our medical department, and we're told -- I imagine correctly -- that they have best-in-class facilities available to them at Colney, now including that recovery pool. But what sort of objective data is available underpinning the department's reputation? Given how important it is to have players available and in top condition, you'd expect medical departments to feature high up in clubs's lists of priorities when it comes to resource allocation. Do they? I've no idea.
Yes! At times when I have been doing the match day threads I try to find the injury data out about other teams and it can be really hard to find things. A few sites do track that sort of thing, but you really have to search and often then it is hit and miss in accuracy and usually only who is currently injured.
Jonny Howson listing his best 7-a-side team (from players he's played with). Three Norwich players. One you'd absolutely expect to see, plus one a little more surprising... To save yourself a click... Wes in midfield, plus his striker options were Grant Holt and none other than Luciano Becchio.
Gabby Sara scored his first Superliga goal for Galatasary last Saturday in the 5:0 win against Rizespor (3rd goal). He assisted another, and had a hand (foot?) in a third. Looks as if his team mates have worked out how to play with him.
