The struggles of Midlands teams near the bottom of their divisions is proof of the variety of ways in which things can turn sour for clubs. twoht
There’s a strangely unbalanced look to the top four divisions of English football. With the season accelerating into a packed autumn schedule, Midlands clubs are struggling.
The further down the divisions you go, the brighter the picture starts to look. In League Two, Northampton and Mansfield Town are 3rd and 5th respectively, but Walsall are down in 14th. There’s little value in trying to draw a comparison between, say, Nottingham Forest signing 23 new players during the summer and Coventry City having the start of their League One season torpedoed by the state of their pitch.
The current positions of the Midlands Premier League clubs shows the variety of ways in which things can start to turn sour for a football club once a season has started. At Villa, Steven Gerrard seems to be running into a brick wall, with a combination of injuries and players in poor form causing the team to fall some way short of the much-vaunted ambitions of pushing for European football.
