best managers in the EFL, who doesn't get anywhere near enough um enough credit for what he does.
Um again, kind of blind some people are blinded by the fact that he got relegated with with crew in in League One when actually the fact that he even there in the first place was incredible given the the their budget at the time and the the the youthful nature of the players who are then picked off.
He's very, very good.
And I think Grimsby will be right up there.
So they're kind of the three unbeaten teams at the top.
Bristol Rovers and York have have been good, although Bristol Rovers have had a couple of back to back defeats, um, which didn't look like it was coming because they look kind of the best team in the league at the time.
Um and then at the bottom end, uh, Crawley looked to be in trouble, Colin Kazim Richards, their manager, um, but just looking really poor defensively, um, conceding a lot of chances and and a lot of goals and uh you kind of fear for them uh possibly returning back to non league this season.
Um, I'm I'm not surprised they haven't sacked him because you know, they gave him a new contract before the before the World Cup started.
I think that they would see the semifinals as being um an acceptable outcome and they probably don't want to, you know, make a decision based on what was probably the most important fifteen minutes or twenty minutes of an England game for a long time and the decisions that were made then.
Um
Well I and you know, I guess there's an element where especially when you take a club manager and there's precedent for this.
Like if you look at Didier Deschamps' managerial career, for example, like there's a precedent for
Club managers or guys who haven't had an experience of of tournament football before it, you know, getting to grips with it as they go.
And I I have a feeling that probably if if Thomas Tuchel could choose his squad again now, he probably would choose differently because he'd have a better understanding of of what and you know, what comes with with this.
But the withdrawals this week
I think are going to be difficult for Tuchel.
Like obviously the the word out of the the camp is that they're injured.
I'll leave it to to those at home to decide whether or not these these players are all are all injured, having just played um Premier League football for the last couple of weeks.
Um you know, and in the two, you know, in Rashford and Maynard's case, having played 80 minutes or so the the in the the you know the the day before the squad was announced.
I would personally have no issue with Rice not going on a two week international break.
