    Saturday's red card was the first George Honeyman had been shown since being sent off at Cambridge for Millwall in August 2022

    Blackpool captain George Honeyman will be available for their next three games after the club won their appeal against the red card he was given in Saturday's defeat by Cambridge.

    The 32-year-old midfielder was sent off for violent conduct in the sixth minute of the League One fixture.

    However, the Football Association regulatory commission ruled that it was a case of wrongful dismissal and overturned the automatic three-match ban.

  13. Pick of the stats: Birmingham City v Preston North End

    Birmingham City will hope to continue their climb up the Championship table when they welcome bottom side Preston North End to St Andrew's on Tuesday night.

    Blues have won two of their past three games (D1), including a 1-0 win at West Brom in the West Midlands derby on Saturday, to move up to seventh.

    The Lilywhites have won just once all season (D1 L7) and new boss Graham Alexander is seeking his first win after losing 1-0 to Millwall in his first game in charge at the weekend.

    • Birmingham City have won each of their previous three league meetings with Preston, and could win four in a row for the very first time, with this their 101st clash.

    • Preston have lost both of their past two league visits to Birmingham City, last losing more in a row in March 1970 (4).

    • Birmingham have drawn all four of their Championship home games this season. The only sides to draw their first five at home in a season in the competition since it began in 2004 are both the Blues themselves in 2018-19 and Ipswich in 2018-19.

    • Preston are without a clean sheet in 14 away league games for the first time since November 2012 (also 14). They last went 15+ without one on the road in March 2011 (26).

    • Birmingham's Jay Stansfield has scored in three of his four league appearances against Preston, including two in two at home.

  15. Pick of the stats: Burnley v Charlton Athletic

    Burnley will hope to back up their first Championship win of the season when they welcome Charlton Athletic to Turf Moor on Tuesday night.

    The Clarets picked up their first league victory of the campaign in style at Vicarage Road on Saturday, thrashing Watford 4-0, but they still remain in the relegation zone.

    Since winning their opening three games of the season, the Addicks are now on a six-game winless streak (D4 L2) following a 1-1 draw with Bristol City at the weekend and have slipped from top to 12th on that run.

    • Burnley have won each of their past five league meetings with Charlton without conceding, with this their first since winning home (4-0) and away (3-0) in 2015-16.

    • Charlton have lost six of their previous seven league visits to Burnley, winning the other 1-0 in November 2012.

    • Burnley could become only the second side in English Football League/Premier League history to go 20+ consecutive home league matches without a win (currently 19 – D9 L10), after Sunderland (20 from Jan-Dec 2017) and Sheffield Wednesday (23 from Apr 2025-Apr 2026).

    • Since the start of last season, the only ever-present side to win fewer away games in the Championship than Charlton (5) are Watford (4).

    • Since the start of last season, Charlton have won three of their four Championship away games at sides newly relegated from the Premier League (D1), already winning 2-1 at West Ham this term.

  16. Watford 0-4 Burnley - the fans' verdict

    A black banner with the words 'Your Opinions' written across in white lettering next to an image of a megaphone

    We asked for your thoughts after Burnley thrashed Watford 4-0 at Vicarage Road to earn their first win of the Championship season - and a first league victory for Clarets boss Nicky Hayen.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Watford fans

    Clive: Probably one of the poorest Watford displays I've witnessed in 15 years as a season ticket holder. No identity, no fluency, abject defending and an inability to play forward, progressive, entertaining football.

    Naibsel: I never understand why managers play players out of position and then wonder why the team struggles. Then change it when the damage has been done.

    Richard: Why do we insist on playing out from the back when we are clearly not very good at it, hence the 1st goal. Burnley did their homework, not difficult, that's why they always had four on the edge of the penalty area every time we had a goal kick.

    Howard: The owners MUST sell. The club MUST have investment or will drop down the divisions.

    Arjun: Watford lacked passion apart from Pollock and the line-up was a disaster. Starting a teenage CB at left-back with two on the bench is criminal. Doumbia was shockingly bad and I'm wondering why he was playing on the wing ahead of at least three or four other players. Kjerrumgaard was equally woeful and shows no ability apart from poaching. I have been defending the manager recently because of injuries but his tactics were awful today. I wouldn't be unhappy if he got sacked.

    Burnley fans

    Graham: An excellent response to an awful start to the season. The international performances by Amdouni and Edwards seems to have inspired confidence in them and the whole team. Much, much more positive, despite a few basic errors that need to be sorted out. Hopefully some consistency moving forward.

    Anthony: Well done lads, you played as a TEAM in the first half. Please keep that spirit and you will be fine. I'm expecting you to be in the play-offs at least.

    Michael: Moments of real quality which provide hope for the Burnley faithful as we move onwards and upwards.

    Tom: At last! Anyone who knew Burnley FC literally could not understand the rapid slide to the bottom of the Championship. Some of us pointed out that one issue was the collapse in the confidence of the very young goalkeeper - arguably the more mature Coudert should have been given a chance earlier.

    The problem was more fundamental than that, though, because Burnley were scoring goals - but also gifting the opposition a horrendous number of silly goals.

    Still, the manager has at last supervised a professional performance with not only changing keepers, but also getting a substitution right - at last! This is a great platform for similar performances. The team's confidence must be sky-high now - well done all!

    Janine: About time. A win was well needed. Hopefully now can kick-start our season. Onwards and upwards.

    Richard: Still work in progress - some sloppy balls given away far too easily and still that feeling of being a little unsure what they are doing. However, some promising attacking play. Can only get better. Got to say Watford were awful.
