Lewin Nyatanga is a big injury concern for Bristol City after leaving the field on a stretcher after 17 second-half minutes of Bristol City’s friendly with Blackpool, which the Championship side won 2-0. He joins a number of players including fellow Welshmen Christian Ribeiro and James Wilson on the rather crowded treatment table. Bristo City’s only fit Welshman Gavin Williams is probably looking over his shoulder nervously.
Darcy Blake is named as a contender to play in goal for Cardiff City… on the grounds he’s already played everywhere else! Cardiff’s situation is worrying but it’s always good to see some light-heartedness.
However Darcy won’t be able to help out in goal during the Carling Cup as he’s expected to be on duty for Wales.
Darcy played well as Cardiff were beaten 1-0 by Deportivo La Coruna.
Freddy Eastwood helped give Coventry City the lead against West Bromwich Albion but unfortunately WBA scored a late equaliser.
Robbie Savage will remain as Derby County’s captain next season. Yes, if I was manager of Derby and I was aware Robbie wanted to stay as captain, I’d let him too. I wouldn’t dare do anything else.
Robbie and Gareth Roberts played as Derby County lost 2-1 at home to Birmingham City but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that result. Gareth got Derby’s goal.
Robbie’s wife Sarah reveals there’s more to Robbie than the tan and the hair – and that there’s more to her than the dumb blonde Robbie’s columns suggest she is. And why shouldn’t there be? I’m on course for a double first in my degree but I’ve only just found out that liposuction isn’t when they suction your lips to make them big like Leslie Ash's.
Robbie was planning on bringing out his autobiography when his career came to an end – something many footballers would do well to emulate. But instead, Robbie is bringing out early for personal and heartbreaking reasons.
Swansea City are eyeing up Doncaster Rovers captain Brian Stock. Like they don’t already have loads more Welshmen in their first-team squad than Cardiff City. Brian however thinks Doncaster are ready to move to the next stage.
Brian played as Doncaster beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0. It sounds like a giant-killing but it’s not.
Roy Keane says Ipswich Town youngsters including Troy Brown will be given the chance to impress this season.
The Leyton Orient blog thinks Leicester City’s Nicky Adams, who had a very successful spell on loan for them last season, could possibly return on a permanent deal if Brentford don’t get there first.
Andy King scored for Leicester City as they lost 2-1 at home to Sunderland.
Middlesbrough kept their unbeaten pre-season record intact when they drew with Union Berlin. Danny Coyne missed out with a calf strain which is a worry as first-choice keeper Brad Jones will miss their season-opener due to suspension. But Danny says he’ll be fine.
