What’s in The Football League Paper: 07/01/24

It’s the third round weekend, and we’ll have bumper coverage of all the FA Cup third round ties involving EFL clubs in The Football League Paper this Sunday.

Meanwhile, Wigan attacking midfielder Thelo Aasgaard looks forward to facing Manchester United in the tournament on Monday night.

We put Coventry winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto under the spotlight in Player Profile, while our resident expert Chris Dunlavy says axed boss Wayne Rooney shouldn’t take all the blame for Birmingham’s woes.

On a brighter note, new manager of League One Fleetwood Charlie Adam takes inspiration from Burnley boss Vincent Kompany as he prepares to get to work.

And from League Two, we look at strugglers Colchester and Salford appointing Danny Cowley and Karl Robinson respectively, and chat to striker Joe Ironside on hitting the goal trail with Doncaster Rovers.
