Twice I saw us in that clip, both times in yellow. For a moment I genuinely forgot about any league games and thought they’d CGI changed the Wembley game to put Sunderland in red.
Opening and closing with injury-time winners for and against us are such great bookends to their season - looks like they'll spend a little time on it at least from the trailer, very excited!

Its quite remarkable how the first game / last game were so similar in a way
- First goal was a defensive error - Winners came from behind with a last minute winner - The losing side in each game partly lost due to injury
i.e. Gooch's challenge on Pearce should have been a red and basically left us with 10-men at the end
Max Power going off was a huge shift in the game @ Wembley which was a unfortunate collision with Sarr (the sole difference of the comparissons)
Belated and given the current climate have caught up with STID.
A terrific insight particularly into Jonny Williams, his injury issues but more than anything his self doubt as reflected in his interview with the psychologist. He comes across as a thoroughly decent guy and I just hope for him, as much as for us, that he can just have a decent run without injury that will give him the strength of character to perform at his best. He's still only 26 after all.

Hard to believe that he's only 26, a bit like Sage really , I wonder if that's the name he uses to post on hear ?
Wembley again “It’s good you want to keep the football club but maybe your family don’t,” [owner Stewart] Donald’s partner, Lora Clarke, reveals she told him on the eve of the play-offs. The final against Charlton is game 61 of a marathon season and the wheels have fallen well off by then. Donald looks exhausted by everything. Methven’s anger towards Ross is relentless and the supporters’ mood has reversed. Charlton win in the 94th minute.
Really do love Jonny Williams even more after seeing him so far (Up to Ep6) - Can see why he loves it here as you'd expect him to see Bowyer in that Coleman / McCarthy role that he mentions about trust etc.
Made me smile when it was Matthews who greeted him when he first arrived in training - Wonder if the roles were reversed when Matthews arrived at Sparrows Lane
Finished series 1 at the weekend, well made documentary and as others have said very insightful.
The whole part focusing on Jonny Williams was obviously interesting for us, but I also found it enlightening to see the wider look at mental health on players. I guess it’s easy for us to only look at the physical side of players sometimes, and forget they may need help on psychological side.
Looking forward to series 2, not just for us featuring, but seeing more how the behind the scenes works for a club in freefall.
Do we watch the last episode first then start from the beginning, watch them all from the beginning in one go or watch one a day, savouring the experience?

Last episode first, then watch it all from the start.

Its not as if they are going to be covering anything from a Charlton perspective.
And with the works so terrible right now, who wouldn’t want a chance to relive that amazing day ten months ago - even if it’s just for a few minutes.

I've watched the first 2 episodes and I can confirm that your prediction is correct............

Certainly gets good coverage what with the trailer focusing on the EFL Trophy
