By Total Football News

The Lions boss was full of praise for his team’s defensive efforts after they became the first side to stop Wrexham scoring at home this season in Saturday’s 2-0 win.

And Neil has challenged his fifth-placed side to keep things tight from now until May if they

Southampton 3-2 West Bromwich Albion: Armstrong’s double continues Eckert’s fine start

By Total Football News

West Brom academy graduate Tom Fellows showed the Baggies just what they are missing since his £10m summer switch to Southampton as he created the opening goal.

Fellows turned and ran three quarters of the pitch before finding Scienza on his right, who scored expertly into the far corner.

As fluent as Southampton were, West Brom didn’t help themselves and they gifted Saints a second when Callum Styles played the

The latest loss is undoubtedly another heavy blow in Cifuentes’ reign but the concern runs deeper than the boss in the dugout.

The points amassed by Leicester so far this season come with a major question – will some be lost to a deduction?

It remains the great unknown for the Foxes as they fight a legal battle with the Premier League over spending breaches relating to the season they

Ipswich created more opportunities, the best falling to substitute Ivan Azon who headed wide and was then denied by a desperate stop from Watford goalkeeper Egil

Sunderland maintain fine home form as Wolves lose again

By Total Football News

Wolves were unfortunate not to take maximum points in their two previous matches against Tottenham and Brighton after conceding late equalisers.

Yet there are few positives they can extract from this trip to the North East.

Vitor Pereira’s side were second best for long periods, remain the only winless team in the English top flight and now appear in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the table.

Swansea briefly threatened to mount a comeback after the break, with Josh Tymon going closest when he rattled the woodwork, but Ryley Towler’s header eased any Portsmouth nerves and Cyrus Christie’s error allowed

John Eustace: Blackburn Rovers boss says the club are heading in the right direction with fine form

By Total Football News

Blackburn’s form is in stark contrast to last season, when the club struggled for form in the Championship and Eustace arrived as replacement for Jon Dahl Tomasson following a run of eight Championship games without victory.

The former Birmingham City boss then kept the club in the division having navigated them to a 19th-place finish, three points clear of the drop zone.

Some canny signings in the summer, including former
