Leicester - 9th in Championship
Ipswich - 14th in Championship
Southampton - 18th in Championship

Cardiff - 1st in League One
Luton - 15th in League One
Plymouth - 21st in League One

Cambridge - 9th in League Two
Bristol Rovers - 16th in League Two

It is crazy; it’s usual to expect one or two of the Premier League teams to bounce straight back, and the likes of Luton were also expected to do well from the off. Early days yet, but definitely an unusual stat! :ayatollah:

Chris, it's a very strange stat.

I have no doubt that the relegated teams in each division will improve but very strange that none of them other than us are in the top six in late October.

Luton were my pre-season picks to win our league but it hasn't gone to plan. Unsure how it will go with Wilshere, either really good or really bad - hard to judge because his only previous experience is a small sample size at Norwich.
