League 1 General Chat Thread

it’s easy to say because we got promoted in it, but the standard of the top three in L2 last season was the best I remember, comfortably at that too.

We lost our best player and our third choice striker, who we let go because he wanted minutes and was behind Lee Gregory and Will Evans. FYI.

You say that but Crawley got promoted and lost 18 games.

It was good at the top (say five) but below that it was more a case of two or three decent players keeping the rest of the team going.

I admire your club and you will do extremely well to stay up. Because every time you get a decent manager or player you get picked off. Mind you there is no reason why you should'nt stay up.

That’s why I didn’t mention you!

Top three in their own league, MK also a good side just below, then riffraff.

Northampton fans....How's James Wilson doing for you? I noticed on a number of occasions he's been an unused substitute.

He came on for 4 minutes against Mansfield and I don't think he touched the ball. Before that I'm not sure he'd played a minute in the league. I don't think he was ever brought in to be first choice, but he has been pretty anonymous.

I wouldn’t have put us anywhere close to stockport or wrexham last season and it’s remarkable we were as close as we were to them given the respective budgets.

Wrexham were always going to be one of the best in recent times with that circus going on, and stockport had built well from the season before with a much bigger budget than us.

I’d have probably said it was those 2, then mansfield, MK, Bradford and Gillingham (clearly the latter 2 had a bad season for their budget/expectations.

(sound like a broken drum here, so apologies) that’s why we’re fortunate that the manager has got so many versatile players in the team - had we a less experienced/not as good manager we’d have been shagged with the injuries last season.

I’m certainly enjoying the ride of league 1 currently and to be 5th is quality (while it lasts) but we all know tougher times lie ahead.
