    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...

    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...

    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...

    Yeah, Bradford just seem to have turned on the afterburners at the right time. Looks like they're finally getting their arse in gear and wouldn't surprise me if they ran away with it. Walsall look to be spluttering over the line but because they got so many points at the start of the season...

    Awful from us. We lack goals massively. I'm not sure what the plan was going forward in the second half. We were playing walking football and it was so easy to defend against. Harrogate came for a 0-0 and got it....loads of time wasting, not really interested in winning but we have to force...

    My hope is that you feel like you've done enough to be safe this season (which I think you have) and you don't play with too much desire. In the reverse fixture, we had all the play but your defending was heroic and you seemed to have a knack of being able to block shots. I sense another...

    That'd be some going for you, particularly with the fixtures you have coming up! Your next 7 fixtures are Fleetwood, Salford, Donny, Notts, Vale, Grimsby & Bradford. Not impossible but you're basically playing a lot of the top 8 there. If you get 2nd from that you deserve it!

    Yep. It seemed like we weren't expecting you to come out of the traps fast. Anyone with half a brain could have foretold that. We needed someone to put their foot on the ball in those first 20 minutes but instead we were just lumping it up to Hackford who is terrible at hold up play (it's not...

    We weren't great at the weekend and without disrespect, this is a game we really have to be targeting 3 points. We will likely have another couple of key players injured, so we'll have to see what team we put out. It would be typical Vale to put in an absolute shitter though.

    Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

    Some brilliant followings for league 2. There are teams in league one and the championship who would be delighted with those. Seems like lower league football is thriving at the moment...our attendances up over 2k on average since 2020.

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    Although we've lost the least amount in the division, because of Moore's small margin tactics, we draw too many games. We've won 2 games this season by more than 1 goal. That's pretty poor as a top 7 side. If at the end of the season, it works, then nobody will complain. But conversely, it...

    The game went exactly as I thought it would really. Although Tranmere are down near the bottom, they've actually got one or two decent players, it's just their confidence must be shot to pieces. A new manager was always going to give teams a bit of a boost and they came out like a team...

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    So difficult to predict in my opinion. We weren't very good today but still undefeated in 2025. Win on Tuesday and it's 10 points from 12 in spite of those losing their heads on our forum. None of the teams are going to win every game, so no team should lose their heads when they drop points...

    It's the nature of being a lower league football fan. The default position is that things will turn to shit at any minute.

    Nah. You'll win today. Salford are absolutely shite.

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    Think we're probably likely to finish 5th/6th. Doesn't feel like we're quite polished enough or ready for automatic promotion. We never tend to absolutely wipe the floor with teams, which is likely to lead to a few narrow defeats. We would, however, be very tough opposition in the...

    They're absolutely awful mate. We beat them comfortably on Saturday. Their only shot on target was a penalty. Our keeper had literally nothing to do.

    Crosby likes passing it across from one side to the other. If you've got defenders who are comfortable on the ball, then it's great. But he tried to turn Nathan Smith into Maldini....it's never going to happen.

    Vale playing against a team who've just sacked their manager and installed our ex manager as their interim manager...what could possibly go wrong? I would have preferred Tranmere to win last night as now this puts more emphasis on this game. No doubt Crosby will want to get one over on us...

    Walsall are just very well coached, excellently in fact. They know how to play a bit themselves but are also good at stopping people playing against them. On paper, there are teams with better players in this league. But it just goes to show that a team where everybody knows their job and...
