2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

This is very true, which was why we had such a poor December. Missing Byers and Garrity, our Captain and vice Captain at the same time decimated us in a key area. Patching it up could only last so long and eventually we crumbled. It's no coincidence our form has turned since their return. By having Byers or Garrity available, we become a much much better team. Garrity out for a few weeks means we're all nervously praying nothing happens to Byers in that time.

We tend to get areas of the pitch where everyone just gets injured or sent off all of a sudden. Midfield wiped out December, the other week wing backs were either injured and / or suspended. Now it's our strikers injured or suspended.

But in the words of other posters on here..."no point crying about it".

To clarify WB, I know you're not crying, it's a topic worthy of discussion. It's frustrating seeing your best players out, and inevitably has you thinking, if only.

You've had loads of injuries but keep winning, Notts are supposedly playing poor but keep winning, Wimbledon have just conceded a goal so probably won't let another in for the next few games, Donny keep having purple patches, we keep winning at home so we'll see what the next week brings. Have any of us got finger nails left?

I just think it’s going to be incredibly close for those two spots from five teams all the way through now. I don’t think there’s much to choose between any of us. Probably come down to who times a little run of wins right at the end of the season.

As long as we stay in touch after we play Wimbledon, Grimsby, Chesterfield and Crewe over a 2 week span I think we've got a great chance. I suspect that might be a lot to ask though with the form everyone else is in

If their is anyone in this division playing better than Sarcs right now then he is a hell of a player.

Yep you're correct, he certainly is one hell of a player...

Yep, and therein lies the reason that there's only really a single playoff place up for grabs. Really can't see the current top 6 not being the final top 6, just the order that needs sorting out.

We need to get our run of wins in March, because April looks a lot more difficult. If we win 5 or 6 of the 8 games in March then we should be in a good place. We've got to target wins at home to Harrogate, Morecambe, MK Dons and Barrow. The latter 2 will be playing for nothing really. Colchester away suddenly looks much tougher and Tranmere might trip us up if we're not on it. Fleetwood looked good when I watched them the other night, but have they got anything to play for? Crewe to round the month off....they've got a really tough run of fixtures coming up, so could be well in the hunt or completely out of it by then.
