2023/24 League Two Promotion Thread

[DippyDon]

We get just as much as MK, if not more. Doesn't stop it being enjoyable.

It wasn't enjoyable before our current owners because we were fucking shite to watch. I'd go out of blind loyalty back then.

Do you fuck, you’re a storm in a teacup because you’re Hollywood and can spend as much as 2 leagues above.

I bet Reading won that poll?

Bristol City I believe was the subject of the video

We get it because we're Welsh, and it's only gonna get worse after England win the Euros.

 

[AdamStag]

I don't want to see another play off campaign. Campaign, thats a joke, surrender is more apt. However if it happens I shall attend with my Leonard Cohen mix on my walkman.

Get the feeling one us will end in them, but like you if we end up in them i’ll watch on tv.

You never heard of gareth southgate pal?

Hahaha, fair point.

The World Cup then.

 

[Gills4years]

Think the Gill$ would be okay tbh.

Realistically, our defence is more than good enough to survive in League One.

We probably wouldn't score our first goal until December, though.

Champagne corks being popped over at Edgeley Park, that's them up.

I agree, given their run in anything else would be a massive surprise, which is crazy as anyone finishing above the crazy budget of wrexham would be remarkable.

If there a league version where i can just cash out and take 3rd?

 

[Conker]

Stockport will cruise to the title now.

 

[Scum.]

Having 3 shite keepers is the reason we won’t get autos. Why we got rid of our number 1 in January god knows.

 

[Bottega Don]

3 biggest budgets going up, not often that happens in this league

I hope you are incorrect.

 

[AdamStag]

Of my fucking god county, what a goal!

 

[Bottega Don]

I hope you are incorrect.

Eh? You're the team most likely to blow it at this point not sure why you'd want me to be incorrect

 

[BarraMatt]

Job jobbed for Stockport, Mansfield and Wrexham. Defeat for us today but would be gutted if we don't make the playoffs from here.

 

[Conker]

not top three this season or last for that matter but you will probably be correct if MK replace us.

 

[AdamStag]

Presusre on MK.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Pretty confident we’re making top three after today’s results.

Only game I can watch in person between now and the end of the season is our final home on the 20th so hoping we win promotion that day or if that’s sewn up that then maybe get really greedy and see if we can confirm the title with a week to spare.

Sure there will be twists and turns though.

 

[Carver]

There was a poll on twitter the other day about the most boring EFL team. A lot of people mentioned us, but we've had 7 promotions/relegations and 5 play off campaigns in 19 seasons under this guise... definitely not boring.

You're boring because you play in a big souless stadium with no atmosphere and all anyone can see on the football highlights show are nothing but rows and rows of empty seats.

Oi that is mean. You have to pay on airlines for your seat whereas we each get 4 to choose from most games. Anyway, our crowds are similar (and usually higher when we are in the same division) to yours

You must be high on the list too though with no actual derbies/rivals?

That didn't age well.

Maximum points possible -
Stockport 95*
Mansfield 91*
wrexham 88
Mk 83
barrow 85
crewe 81

Given mansfield’s and stockports goal difference we’ve both in effect got an extra point.

Obviously not everyone can get that many points as mansfield are away to MK and barrow and stockport and wrexham play each other final game of the season.

what happens if one of the games on the last day gets postponed due to a Mansfieldesq pitch?

well given we’re playing you at your place…

 

[chipmunx]

Yep and we had a late late postponed match v Bradford when we had a snowflake for a ref

 

[ForzaCounty]

Can't you just get on with it, like they did in the '90s

[Stocky]

It's permutations galore with us at the moment but if we win at Colchester on Tuesday we're more or less definitley up. If Mansfield were to lose too then we would be officially (P) due to MK and Mansfield still to play each other but any win for us and it's all but sealed due to our massive goal difference advantage over MK Dons.

Not sure we will actually win Tuesday mind, Colchester are grinding now and a quick turnaround for us with travel and a few knocks from today from one pudding pitch at Sutton to another on Tuesday.. Fingers crossed the job isn't too far away from completion. Not overly arsed about going for the title but we will play till the end no matter the outcome Challinor and our lads are a good team but an honest team to boot. We will go for it if the opportunity arises no matter the wounded bodies.

 

[Master D]

I'm just glad you'll be up before the last game.

Colchester will be tough. Awful pitch where you cannot pass the ball and Cowley mincing around in the technical area screaming for every decision.

3 of our last 4 at home, if we mess up then we've nobody to blame but ourselves.

No illusions about that. Said before today away from home Saturday-Tuesday to the arse end of the country to play two teams fighting for their lives on dog shit pitches I'd love 4 points. Getting three today means I'd take the draw Tuesday. Thought process has slightly changed now the permutation has opened up to actually get it done if we can just grind 3 out Tuesday though.

But a draw would set us up for a home game the following Saturday and I'd back us and quite like to complete the job at home.

 

[Crewelad87]

We are limping over the line to get into the play offs, and when I say limping its quite literally limping. 10 players out injured again yesterday for our game at Accrington, most of which you would make a strong case they would start.
