It'll be interesting to see whether you can make any inroads into the playoff places, with so many 'bigger' clubs in there.
Stockport County did spend some seasons in the Championship (might not have ben branded that, then) a number of years ago, so they have operatd in higher divisions in the past...

Back in the late 1990's they made an 8th place in the second tier, their best ever position. No, it wasn't called the Championship back then, but at least it was in the Premier League era.
Maybe I'll be able to threaten a few bigger clubs, I don't know. First my focus will be on developing the club a little. I started with a closed window and haven't targeted any free agents, so January will be my first opportunity to fill a gap or two.

I'm interested to see what kind of scores are being posted by the game for other clubs; for instance, are Chelsea thrashing just about everybody?
As far as Stockport are concerned, it's going as expected, losing to the big boys and doing well against League 2's usual suspects.

League table coming up shortly, after the next few games played. I won't say that it's THAT one-sided. Fulham and Brentford have also proved to be the most scoring teams so far, where there doesn't seem to be a noticeable difference between Chelsea and the other Prem sides.
I did notice Barnsley starting out pretty well, being the surprise leaders here after a few games. Chelsea just beat them 5-0, dropping them to an 8th place with a negative goal difference. So maybe the Blues are just getting started.

10th is very respectable, given the teams above you. Only Fleetwood are normally sort of on the same level as Stockport. Interesting to see where Birmingham are, and Coventry for that matter.
The negative goal difference needs to be addressed, though, but I guess with so many big teams in there, it's probably not going to be easy to do.

And I've won by the same margin only once, vs Morecambe. So that has affected my goal difference negatively. I am also still to get a draw. Seems very win or lose-ish, never being able to turn a threatening defeat into a saved point. Something to address too, I reckon.
