The 2024/25 EFL season is kicking off, and all 72 clubs are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting campaign. Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store for London’s Football League representatives this season.
Millwall had a rollercoaster of a season last year, narrowly avoiding relegation under the leadership of Neil Harris. However, the club has faced challenges off the pitch with the tragic loss of goalkeeper Matija Sarkic. With key figures leaving the club, Harris will need to navigate these changes while aiming to build on last season’s success.
QPR fans are buzzing with excitement for the new season, especially with Marti Cifuentes leading the charge. After guiding the team to an 18th place finish last season, Cifuentes has instilled a sense of confidence among the squad. The addition of striker Zan Celar and the retention of star winger Ilias Chair have bolstered the team’s prospects for a potential play-off push.
Watford is gearing up for a tough season under the management of Tom Cleverley. With key players departing and financial challenges looming, Cleverley will need to navigate these obstacles to steer the team clear of a relegation battle.
Charlton made a smart move by bringing in Nathan Jones as manager, and his impact was evident last season. However, the team will need to adjust to the departure of key players and look to newcomers like Luke Berry to step up to the plate.
Leyton Orient is eyeing another season of consolidation after their promotion in 2023. With a modest budget, the club will need to make strategic moves to stay competitive in a strong League One field.
AFC Wimbledon is aiming for promotion this season, with a strong forward line led by Omar Bugiel, Josh Kelly, and new signing Matty Stevens. However, the team will need to adjust to the absence of Jack Currie and find their footing under manager Johnnie Jackson.
Bromley is stepping into their first season in the Football League with optimism under manager Andy Woodman. While a push for the playoffs may be ambitious, strategic recruitment and the goal-scoring prowess of Michael Cheek could help the team make a mark in their debut season.
As the new season kicks off, London’s Football League representatives are gearing up for a challenging and exciting campaign ahead. With new signings, managerial changes, and key departures, each team faces a unique set of obstacles and opportunities as they strive for success in the 2024/25 EFL season.
