3. L: GERHARD STRUBER - (Barnsley)
The Barnsley manager will surely have been left frustrated after the loss to Luton Town’s as his side boasted SEVEN more shots and has confirmed his desire to bring in some more physical players to compliment his existing squad. Photo: Mike Hewitt
4. L: THOMAS FRANK - (Brentford)
Having missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, Brentford have lost star man Ollie Watkins and could lose striker Said Benrahma and goalkeeper David Raya. The London club then lost 1-0 to Birmingham City - a bad summer for manager Thomas Frank. Photo: Catherine Ivill
