League 2 General Chat Thread

This is the world's biggest digital clock when working / the worst ever scoreboard They say the great wall of China can be seen from space, I'm sure they can spot this monstrosity too.
It was bought from Wembley. We've actually got more panels and could have made it even bigger. Thank fuck we didn't, must cost us a fortune in leccy when working

A few seasons back we had a scoreboard that was apparently bought from Gloucester Rugby Club...it never worked properly, often contained spelling errors and used to moan when you turned it on.

Well after his last years quote of getting to League 1 will be easy what could possibly go wrong with this one?

What a twat.

Don't be daft, clinging on to league status with a whole TWO games left to play clearly means we'll be seeing Champion's League football at the New Lawn within the decade - if they pay their Sky subs in the bar.

Where is everyone tonight??

Seems dead as fuck on here.

Carlisle at home today, complete dead rubber although a chance of a first double this season following our win at their place.

Don’t know how they will be approaching it but we are set to make changes, Dior Angus recalled from Tamworth looks set to start alongside Pope as we look at options for next season with possibly a youth teamer such as Calverly featuring.

I’d like to win to get past the 50 point mark and at least improve last seasons tally. Keeping up the long run we’ve had with only two defeats since early February would keep the positive factor ahead of a big summer in trying to stop the two year decline.

Of course another caveat is we are currently 18th, finish any lower than that and it will be the lowest finish in decades, living memory for a huge percentage of the fan base.

Either way Pope’s last gasp equaliser last week means I don’t overly give a f**k about the result for the first time in two years after the strain of it all so happy days!

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Happy days indeed

 

[valefan16]

Happy days indeed

That’s how atrocious the last two years have been that having a game without such on it (in a negative way) that praying for safety to be assured so you get an extended summer break without it shafting you’re weekends makes us happy! Hopefully Aspo and JR make it so that next year we are at least looking forward to games!

Is the season over yet?

I imagine Curle will be keen to end his reign with a couple of wins and the chance of a higher finish for his CV. The players may also be performing with the assumption that whoever is to take over from Curle is watching, so we could well up our game for this one.

 

[Agombar stool]

Yes

Great thanks for confirming. I actually don’t know who we are playing today!

Wake me up when next season arrives.

 

[valefan16]

One hope i do have is that we play without the shackles on today and put in a performance, when the pressure is off I.e. when expected to get beat we’ve put in our best performances, Luton 4-0, Coventry and Lincoln 1-0 for example, both Exeter games (even tho we spmehow lost at home).

Big day for the likes of Turner and Angus... not sure if both will start as that would see Pope dropped.

 

[Luke Imp]

Accrington for us today. They need a point, we need a point...

Saying that, despite drawings quite a few this season, we don't play for draws and Accrington have the least amount.

Rowe's out for the season. He's had to have an operation on his ankle injury picked up against Port Vale so he's back at Ipswich. Habergham missed the game at Coventry but no-one seems to have heard anything about his injury.

We haven't had a season like your one, but even for us it looks set to be our lowest finish since 1994. In fact, looking back at our history of the fourth tier, our typical finish at this level is about 6th or 7th so it has been a disappointing campaign really, rounded off with a nice pointless fixture against and equally disappointed Swindon side.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

We're unchanged from Tuesday, looks like we are #goingforit. Could be an exciting game.

 

[valefan16]

Angus and Turner start, Worrall not even in the squad as we have a bench with a few youth lads included.

Worth a look.

 

[Habbinalan]

Barrow AFC cling on to National League place by their fingertips in the classic Barrow way - by losing at home to already relegated Chester.

Now I can relax and listen to a feast of football in Wales. Draw would be the obvious forecast but it's a strong team and bench so I can see it finishing 3-4 again

Subs: IRON, DAVIES, DARLING, DUNK, MINGOIA, AMOO, CORR

 

[valefan16]

Angus scores on his EFL debut!

 

[BelizeHatter]

Nobody wants that third auto spot then. All losing there must win games

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Cov going mad at Whaddon Road.

 

[valefan16]

Weak loss with a changed side especially second half once Howkins had gone off injured we struggled with a huge defensive error to gift them the win.

Angus looks decent, probably the big thing to learn is that Pugh should be nowhere near this side if we want to progress next season!

 

[Forza Imps]

Mansfield still in with a chance but all we need is a single point. In our hands.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Weird referreeing performance didn't help but yet again we threw away a lead (twice in fact) and got our 10th red card of the season. Glad when it's over.

 

[Conker]

Either you or Coventry lose, and we win.....

I'll be suprised if we win against Crawley, and like I have said we will be a waste of time in the play-offs I reckon.

 

[Vanni]

Good job Barnet, winning away at draw specialists Morecambe is no easy task.

Where's Impish btw? Told you Grimsby were too good to go down didn't I?

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Finally a good Coventry performance. About time!

 

[GTFCfish]

See you all next season guys.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Our new kit and three new sponsors, at least two I'm sure linked to the Power Court development.

Lol. You're one of our own. But. I could hardly give a fuck about that so why post it, who on here do you think will?

I just did it for the laughs and facepalms it'll inevitably get.
