So what do you do when there’s no ‘top level’ club football to keep track of? Well, you remember that there’s still loads of football elsewhere, and loads of football is, we believe, much better than no football. Much better. We’ll be concentrating on Leagues One and Two, plus a select few Non-League games, and really anything else you would like us to concentrate on.
So what are the games to keep an eye on? Well Shrewsbury can continue their frankly implausible start to the season away at Walsall, unbeaten as they are after struggling for most of last season. For background reading, Jeremy Alexander went to see manager Paul Hurst last week and discuss their wholesale changes over the summer.
Second-placed Wigan face Scunthorpe, themselves hovering on the edge of the playoff places, bottom of the table Plymouth go searching for a win against Fleetwood. Then in League Two the early kick-off sees a stirring Coventry visit Barnet, leaders Notts County face eco vegan lads Forest Green Rovers (who are bottom of the table, alas), while Luton could leapfrog Accrington into the automatic spots if they win the game between the two.
And then there’s a massive bunch of Non-League games. Loads of them, obviously, so it would make sense to pick a few - let’s say five - to follow closely. We’ll pick the five over the next hour before kick-off, but if anyone has any nominations, do send them to Nick.Miller@theGuardian.com.
And while we’re waiting for it all to start, have a look at this...
