		<description><![CDATA[Part 34 of our Great Teams series sees us welcome Jonathan Rodgers, a long time fan of Derby County. Here, he recalls one of the great Baseball Ground campaigns - always a fiendishly difficult place to visit as an away fan and a place that simply oozed character, history and tradition. Jonathan can be followed on Twitter at @popsider It's started already. Ten months of undoubted, solid progress for Derby County has only recently finished (12th place and a number of talented Academy youngsters coming through) but Rams fans are already speculating about next season. Can we have a tilt at the... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/great-football-league-teams-34-derby-county-1986-7/"> </a>

		<description><![CDATA[We are delighted today to welcome back Ben Piggott, illustrator of the very fine images that adorn this site and a supporter of a club newly arrived in our midst, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Here, Ben conveys his mood as the Old Gold settle back among us. Ben previously authored an astute analysis of the Championship players who featured in last year's UEFA European under-21 Championship for us and can be followed on Twitter at @Apt_Pseudonym. Now, this’ll sound like I’m only saying it to suck up to a lower-league football blog, but I’m quite looking forward to getting back into the Championship.

		<description><![CDATA[With Norwegian Ståle Solbakken having recently joined the managerial ranks of English football having cut his teeth in Germany; the similarly coiffeured Uwe Rösler has taken the opposite track as a German who conducted his training in Norway. Like Solbakken, Rösler spent some of his playing career in England although his spell on these shores was a much lengthier and more storied one. Manchester City fans still idolise him as the scorer of a half century of goals for the club and his barnstorming, all action style was perfectly suited to a unit that needed to scrap, a world way from the newly... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/the-monday-profile-uwe-rosler/"> </a>

		<description><![CDATA[Our series of posts this week has analysed the various impacts geography can have on the fortunes of soccer clubs. To round things off, we thought we would examine a cross section of eight cities, towns and city regions which can be said to be under performing in football terms and which may or may not have the potential to rise to Championship status or above. Back in 2010, we picked out Peterborough United, Swansea and Cardiff Cities, Notts County and Doncaster as having Premier League potential and while the inclusion of the Rovers now embarrasses us, we predicated our... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/geographies-of-football-economic-potential/"> </a>

		<description><![CDATA[There are smaller counties which support league football – so what has gone wrong in Worcestershire? Frank Heaven explains. It is a dubious honour. After Kidderminster Harriers narrowly missed out on the Conference play-offs this season, Worcestershire remains the largest county in England without a Football League club. Shropshire and Cumbria both have smaller populations, but they are obviously doing something right that Worcestershire is not. Harriers did enjoy a brief spell in the then Third Division from 2000 to 2005, and look the likeliest team in the county to win promotion to the league in the near future. But... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/geographies-of-football-worcestershire-sores/"> </a>

		<description><![CDATA[In January, Matt Bruce described the progress of the Football League’s New Town clubs as ‘faltering’ since joining the 92, but this past week may go down as the one in which their vanguard arrived for real. As Milton Keynes Dons and Stevenage confirmed their play-off berths in League 1, a nail reducing victory at Accrington saw Crawley Town finally confirm a spot in English football's Tier Three for next season. While the creation of the new towns of England is a narrative particular to a time and a place, the trio are far from alone – if ageing extras from the film Gregory’s... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/geographies-of-football-new-towns-on-the-rise/"> </a>

Here, Chris Nee of England website The Stiles Council, the twofootedtackle podcast and In Bed with Maradona assesses their time in Division One of the Combined Counties Football League and wonders just how far the Channel Islanders might rise following promotion at the first attempt. Some people just get things done. Daunting challenges are embraced with nonchalance and the prospect of criticism shrugged off in order to focus on the task at hand.... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/regionalism-week-guernsey-fcs-flying-start/"> </a>

		<description><![CDATA[Kicking off a short series of posts which consider the geographies of football in England, we take a look at the football scene in Cornwall, tussling in particular with the question as to whether a Football League team will ever pop up in this corner of the country. Over the years, a select number of Cornish footballers have overcome the inconvenience of their faraway place of birth to go on to play in England’s top-flight. Most recently, Nigel Martyn – a son of St Austell originally spotted by the Bristol Rovers’ tea lady while holidaying in Cornwall – and Matthew... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/geographies-of-football-will-cornwall-ever-host-a-football-league-club/"> </a>

		<description><![CDATA[Taking a closer look at a Football League personality this week is Matt Rowson, co-pen of Watford blog BHaPPY (whose precursor was BSaD, the site that originally got me [Lloyd] interested in football writing). This morning, Matt considers the recent rise of Academy graduate and next great Hornets hope Sean Murray. Watford are not the only side with a decent track record in terms of producing its own talent, but we do it rather well. Teenage striker Britt Assombalonga recently became the fiftieth Academy product to be given his Watford debut since its inception in 1998, a rate of roughly... <a class="more-link" href="http://thetwounfortunates.com/the-monday-profile-sean-murray/"> </a>
