Sixth place is currently on track for 71. To get to 72, Birmingham would need 44 points from 20 games, which is a big ask but we’ve seen what Cooper can achieve quickly at that level.

They could make the playoffs, but 2 of those teams will be probably from Ipswich, Southampton and Leeds. Assuming Leicester continue on. Just plain better teams.
-
On that, hypothetical, run of form, they’d be strong contenders.
-
Didn't know Swansea were looking for a new manager but turns out they've been looking on t'other side of the Trent.
Feels like Notts' owners are pretty savvy and will find a decent replacement again.
-
What exactly has Lopetegui done to be so selective and confident in his own abilities without anybody questioning that? From what I can see of his CV he did a reasonable job over a very short time span at Wolves and has had a long career before that being mediocre or worse. He must have a busy PR person.

OIFBC boss Luke Williams set for Swansea (Coventry also planning a move for OIFBC striker Langstaff - could be a very bad January for them)
Ex-Oxford boss Karl Robinson in at Salford (he would have been a great appointment for OIFBC).
Ex-Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray set for Birmingham. -
I just looked up Tony Mowbray because it oddly feels like he's managed pretty much everyone bar a few in the EFL. Turns out he's only 60, despite looked at least 10 years older than that only and stopped playing in 2000. I say only,I still think of the early to mid 00's being 10 years ago, tops.
And anyway I thinking of Pulis. I couldn't be arsed googling him by this point though.
-
Mowbray confirmed for Brum. Seems a blandly competent choice.

Mourinho sacked by Roma

Can't say as I've heard of him, but the current Notts owners seem to have a fairly good idea what they're doing.

Wealdstone raiders eh?
They want sum? You’ve got nah fans! Etc etc
-
Think we missed Troy Deeney into Forest Green Rovers about a month ago. And he’s out now.
-
I rather enjoyed his post match resignation speech.
-
Was that the one where he slagged his own player off? It was definitely a more honest style of media management, I'm not sure it's optimal for team success.
-
Felt like the sort of thing he’d seen other managers say in a dressing room and didn’t understand the difference.
-
It's definitely the sort of thing that players and coaches say to each other. As a general rule you don't say it to the media.
