2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

Hmm, I think that’s a little unjust though. You could argue our last three 1-0 wins were a bit grind-like, but we’re only 7 goals behind free scoring Notts - and ironically, we’ve scored more than Vale, albeit they’ve played a game less.

For me, the question whether we’re good enough for autos doesn’t come down to blowing teams away, it comes down to how solid we can be between now and May. 6 clean sheets from our last 7 games shows we’ve perhaps found a way of playing which is just as good as scoring 2-3 per game.

Admittedly, we have such a tough April. Auto’s will be gained/lost here - for a number of teams.

16 games left. If someone could offer us a dozen of those as 1-0 wins, I don't think I'd be the only one to snap their hands off.

He can't be classing his own side as up there then, as we've scored more and conceded less than them so must have had more comfortable games than them at various stages.

For much of the season we have been anything but glamourous, DM as you know is a fairly Southgate type manager despite the talent and we've had many a glorious 1-0 grind... up until January when we've gone 2 up front and are a bit more glam, especially with the Swiss Harland with his slick stylish appearance pinging them in.

I wouldn't take what my fellow valiant said as that much of a negative either, play to your strengths and be efficient is a good promotion attribute.
