    League 1 25/26

    We were actually playing a game to go top in October and were midtable at Christmas. Yes, the rest of our squad wasn't the best but my point remains that you don't want to rely on loan players as the 1st name on the teamsheet. If they're good, they'll get recalled in January. If we'd have...

    League 1 25/26

    I'd be very wary of using the loan market too much. It basically relegated us as we relied on the brilliance of 2 loan players in Ollie Arblaster and Alfie Devine...they got recalled and we went to shit. Same happened to Walsall in the past 2 seasons. I've liked what we've done this...

    League 1 25/26

    I'd agree. If Chesterfield turn this around then they love passing it around which will be good on a big pitch. Wimbledon's pitch is tight and they keep it tight at the back and play percentage stuff...hence their good home record.

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    He was always quite good but seems to have been around forever. Remains to be seen whether playing in what you would imagine is a pretty poor Danish league has set him back a little. Good experience at 31 though and decent pedigree.

    League 1 25/26

    We've had probably 8 to 10 wrong game defining decisions against us in this last season. Probably about 3 the other way. So God help us if the refs are worse. The level of shithousery is horrendous in league 2, so we're used to that.

    League 1 25/26

    I think the aim has to be consolidation next season. We weren't prepared at all last time we got promoted....didn't have enough league 1 standard players and came back down. We have a better base this time but we need some serious improvements on our defence. From being probably in the top 3...

    What's Happened? Where is everyone?

    This site let itself down by being poorly maintained. Allowed it to crash a number of times or be hacked. Everyone had enough, particularly in league 2 and moved to the other site. It's far better.

    League 1 25/26

    I can't speak for others but we haven't been particularly that good this season. A handful of games where we were quite good but not many opposition will identify us as the best team they played, if any. I'm also unsure how Donny were champions as they didn't look great whenever I saw them...

    League 1 25/26

    I kind of agree. He's been very good for us this season but the step up might be a bit too much. Often teams keep faith with their promoted side but I think we'll need to replace half the team if we want to consolidate. We should have plenty of money and a high profile manager this time...

    League 1 25/26

    I'll have to dig out the footage but I'm pretty certain that you lot sang 'we'll never play you again' about 7 or 8 years ago...yet here we are. I said after your promotion from league 2 that a 3 year old could have got you promoted from that league. Yet many on here were saying how wonderful...

    Whoops! I meant the other one with football and forums and net in the domain. It auto changed my post. Much more reliable...all of league 2 have moved over there...this site is done.

    Guys...why aren't you all over on http://www.onefootballforum.co.uk? This site is constantly breaking and is useless.

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    I agree with your point about Moore. I don't think he's particularly bright and I think Sheffield Wednesday got promoted in spite of him. He's playing to par this season really and he is pretty good at playing and winning tight matches against the teams around us. His difficulty is creating a...

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    I must admit, I'm surprised at how well you're doing. When you beat us on Boxing Day, we were depleted by injury and basically the difference was Cook. The rest of the side looked OK but workmanlike. At the time I thought playoffs at best. It seems that since then you have got into a groove...

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    I forgot Fleetwood! I just don't think we quite have it in us. We look a bit laboured and we massively miss Garrity and Stockley. Always time for us to improve, but if we're not quite in full flow at this stage of the season, I'm not sure when we will. Midfield looked to struggle tonight. Far...
