Didn't think much of Derby? Although way to early to judge. As I've said previously, I happen to think Preston will struggle.

Results so far below.

Two more games to come, with Sheff Wed v Plymouth at 4pm today.

Plymouth 2 down to Wednesday who are not that good bit Plymouth are awful !

Plymouth look absolutely awful. Sheff Wed battered them today. Why do clubs employ Rooney?

We are now no longer in the relegation zone!

Rooney’s on fire

Early days but I couldn’t believe how bad Plymouth were just now.

A genuinely shocking performance.

Luton v Burnley - Up next .

Two of the promoted sides play in the final game of the weekend.

Luton v Burnley kicks off at 8pm.

HT: Luton 0-2 Burnley

Not overly impressed by either side but poor defending by Luton has given Burnley two big opportunities which they took.

To be fair to Luton they have a lot of injuries.

I expected Burnley to dominate the ball but that’s not how they’re playing tonight.

Ned both goals identical in what happened a simple ball over top outpaced defender and both passes through goalies legs ... not impressed by his efforts to make a save .... Luton surely will keep a deeper line to negate the ball over top? If do that though the game will be finished as burnley will just pass for passing sake ... their goalie booked for time wasting in 1st half!!

2-1 Burnley now! Not impressed with their goalie either?
Luton much quicker going forward this half

3-1 now to burnley 70mins

4-1 80mins... hard to say is it burnley playing great or Luton being bad? Certainly poor goals given away

Not looking good for us sat play with no fear but bulut plays defensive no good standing off at burnley we will get hammered up and at them if he plays 5 at the back its going to be another shit show this season
And our last away game we got hammered at rotherham.

If we concede early they will slaughter us. Burnley very impressive tonight. Very slim or no chance of us getting anything on Saturday.

Monty you know no two games are alike? Win 6 nil then lose next game... 4 very poor goals given away..... you've not lost until 3nil down with 5 added mins left!

I'm as optimistic as it comes when it's City, but even I can't see anything other than getting slaughtered haha

Burnley probably got best squad in championship so will be tuff but as said no two games are alike wouldn't be 2st time a team as upset the favourites.

4-1 FT

Burnley very good in the second half.

Luton huffed and puffed but never looked like winning really, but do have a lot of injuries and no proper new signings yet.

Rose tinted glasses here maybe but they’ll be expected to hammer us and we just lost at home. Stint be surprised with 1-1.
