The League Paper

In the The Football League Paper this Sunday (13/08/23)

It’s week two of the Football League season, and you can keep up with all the latest action in this Sunday’s edition of The Football League Paper.

With the campaign now well underway, we will also be guiding readers towards six of the best players to watch out for in the EFL this term.

Our resident expert Chris Dunlavy asks whether it really will be a new era at trigger-happy Watford after their thumping opening-day win against QPR, while experienced defender Steve Cook explains how he aims to help the latter club tighten up at the back after that defeat.

Like Cook, Alex Scott has a new club, and the new Bournemouth midfielder thanks Bristol City after his big-money move to the Premier League.

Hull boss Liam Rosenior discusses on the Tigers’ prospects this season in The Championship and his first steps in management, while veteran defender Richard Wood aims for more promotion glory with Doncaster in League Two.

We will also be rounding up a busy week of Carabao Cup action, including AFC Wimbledon’s shock win over Coventry, so don’t forget to pick up another detailed and jam-packed edition of the paper, out this Sunday!
