Lyle Foster, Rob Edwards, Andros Townsend, and Gustavo Hamer have all faced difficulties at newly promoted clubs. The gap between the Premier League and Championship is widening, making it harder for teams to compete. Relegated sides also face challenges due to reduced income.
Lyle Foster; Rob Edwards and Andros Townsend; and Gustavo Hamer have all experienced early season struggles at newly promoted clubs .Lyle Foster; Rob Edwards and Andros Townsend; and Gustavo Hamer have all experienced early season struggles at newly promoted clubs .– and three of those came when Burnley beat Luton. Together, they have a goal difference of -50. The gulf between the Premier League and Championship has perhaps never been so stark.
That, though, is a much broader issue. More immediately, for a league that markets itself on its competitiveness, on the idea that everybody can beat everybody on their day, it’s just as big problem if everybody knows who’s getting relegated as if Manchester City win a sixth league title in seven years.
All three of last season’s promoted teams have specific issues. Sheffield United sold two of their stars of last season, Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge, in the summer. Although they did eventually secure James McAtee on loan from Manchester City for an extra year, Tommy Doyle returned to his parent club and is now at Wolves.
Burnley are the big disappointment, given how they dominated the Championship last season playing slick, intelligent football. A tendency to give the ball away when trying to play out from the back has been their big problem, and led to both Bournemouth goals on Saturday. That result against another relegation candidate felt significant, lifting Bournemouth out of the bottom three, which is now occupied exclusively by the promoted teams.
