THE MOST IMPROVED TEAMS IN THE 92 👀📈
These 1️⃣1️⃣ teams have been consistently improving their league position in the football pyramid season after season 🤩
However they’ve got a long way to catch the record holders Stockport, with their incredible 11 season improvement between 2014 and 2025 😨
This takes each side’s last league finish into consideration only, not including the current season table. Who’s on course to extend their improvement record? 👇🏽

📊📉📈 League tables lie.
Here’s how the Premier League & EFL are really shaping up so far…
👀👇
Gutting news for Malik, also leaves us with 3 registered center backs, wonder if this opens the door for Chey Dunkley or leaves us exploring out of contract players, 2 or 3 available players who could be of interest
Chesterfield assistant manager Danny Webb tells me that Malik Owolabi-Belawu has injured his Achilles tendon and will be out for the season. Sad news.
Full interviews with Webb and Dilan Markanday up later on @footballheaven

Chesterfield might be the League Two side to buy low on right now.
🔥6 goals from 9.79 xG 3rd-highest in League 2
🥶-3.8 goals vs xG Greatest underperformance
5 points vs 8.3 xPTS.
If the chance quality holds, results should follow.

Such a good player. Won’t be many in the league close to matching his technical ability and willingness to make stuff happen with the ball. If he can bulk up he’ll fly
