We are hosting an EFL launch party in London in Bermansey on Friday evening, um, at the at the volley south to watch Wolves Batburn.
So anyone listening wants to come and join us and watch some EFL football.
And have some beers, and do come and join us.
You can find um the link in our kind of s the mup top twenty social media accounts.
Um but yes, Borough, um Borough Top.
Um they had a funny season last season and a lot of mutuals uh a
really miffed as to why Ali and I hold and a lot of other people hold Kim Helberg, their manager in such high regard, um, given kind of the the the narrative is he took over a team who were going to get promoted and ended up finishing fifth and then managed to lose the playoffs twice.
Um and all of that is kind of factually true, of course, because Rob Edwards had uh Barr in a lofty position, they did finish fifth, having gone top of the top of the table, and then they did lose the playoff semifinals and still
gets the final and they did still lose the final.
However, what I would say is watching Barra under Helberg.
I think of often with managers like him who implement a very extreme style of play, um, mid season appointments can often be very difficult because it's hard to to get your, you know, training methods and playing style across when you're playing at least once every week.
And he did it.
remarkably quickly and incredibly effectively to the degree that even though the results were good for long for long periods but also kind of tailed off.
The the underlying numbers and not just XG numbers, like the XG, but also kind of final third entries, box entries, shots, shots on target, everything.
The the level of dominance that they um exerted over their opposition compared to the rest of the league was absolutely staggering.
Like I've never really seen a team
put themselves so far clear in all of those metrics.
And
their issues, it's basic to say, but they had a goalkeeper in Solbyn
who his shot stopping left a lot to be desired, probably not a top level championship keeper.
