League 2 Promotion Thread 14/15

[Bartonyellow]

Congratulations to Burton Albion - fully deserved. A hardworking, committed team.

thank you. we may cross paths again next year!

 

[Dave-Vale]

Congratulations Burton!

Hopefully we will see you next season.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Congratulations to Burton Albion on an excellent season, particularly considering the upheaval of a change of manager in mid-season. It's good to see a progressive, well run club achieve some success.

now come and join us salop !

 

[Bartonyellow]

Congratulations Burton!

Hopefully we will see you next season.

you will be fine. the point at home friday will help, plus the better goal diff.

 

[shakerandy]

Every winning run must come to and some time. I shouldn't worry about us with our injuries, comes with having a small squad but at least the ones who can play have heart unlike last season.

It already has. We lost to Morecambe the other week.

 

[Shrew_fan]

now come and join us salop !

huge congrats to Burton on their well deserved promotion. 1 more point from the last 2 games or a draw in the bury v southend game on tuesday will be enough for us. I'm still hoping for a shot at the title but would be more than happy 'just' to get automatic promotion.

 

[T.A]

Yeah we seem to do worse v middle of the table teams. Can see Wimbledon turning us over.

same same. whoever wins is the worthy winner. if its you boys, hats off to you - as if im honest you are the best team overall.

studying the table you are still bang in it. win at Bury and you are right in the mix. i would not rule you out at all.

 

[THE TERRACEMAN]

• Thank you to all who have sent congratulations. I never dreamed when I started following the club nearly 50 years ago we would one day reach the 3rd tier of English football. The title would be a nice bonus. Onward to establish ourselves in league 1

Tuesday night is massive if we win we will surely be favourites to go up looking at Wycombe injuries

 

[T.A]

Whoever wins will be the favourite imo. Draw and it swings back to Wycombe, at least till Saturday anyway

 

[Chris]

Great way for Burton to comeback after losing last seasons play off final

Another promotion beckons for Shrewsbury's Micky Mellon

 

[Kenneth E End]

How many of his promotions haven't been money assisted though? You can't deny that Shrewsbury have spent a fair amount of coin on their squad.

That said, how many managers gain promotion without the necessary finance these days? Hasselbaink/Rowett and Ainsworth at Wycombe seemed to have bucked this trend, which makes their achievement even more remarkable.

 

[Laker]

Congratulations on your promotion, Brewers. Fully deserved and great to see hard work and honesty paying off.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Bit premature...

 

[Chippy]

Biggest game in L2 history on Tuesday

Are you for real?

 

[3Loggerheads]

same same. whoever wins is the worthy winner. if its you boys, hats off to you - as if im honest you are the best team overall.

Congatulations Burton, fully deserved your team has just kept pulling out results all season and I do think you will win your last 2 games for the Title, as you seem unbeatable.

Pleased for Cansdell Sheriff as well!

Our budget this season has still been less than the one used in our relegation season which gives an indication on the investment required to compete in League 1!

The big advantage I think we had was Micky Mellon was able to start with a clean slate bar 3 or 4 players. It's all very well having money but it does not guarantee success, a Manager still has to put a winning squad together. Also it can be argued our 2 best players this season are Woods and Goldson, homegrown!

 

[THE TERRACEMAN]

I would say we are favourites for the title but if we do lose out and Shrewsbury pip us there will be no sour grapes. Whoever finishes top after 46 games will deserve to do so. After that the last auto-promotion place is really difficult, really feel for Wycombe who are struggling with injuries to a small squad and the loss to suspension of Aaron Pierre who has been a rock at the back. Tuesday's game at Gigg lane could go either way or be a draw, I just wouldn't like to predict that result. Its any ones guess over the last 2 games.

 

[KeithH]

Are you for real?

We tried putting the silly bugger on the transfer list but who the hell would want him?

 

[KeithH]

Such a big game. Shitting it personally

Me as well, even changing work around and heading over for this one.

 

[oakroader]

congratulations to burton albion and to their fans

 

[UTS]

We will lose tomorrow, it's the Bury way.

 

[WAP]

We will lose tomorrow, it's the Bury way.

You generally play better than you did on saturday right? Not a dig at all, we were shit and as soon as you scored you kept it tight. We didn't look like scoring at all in the second half.

Wasn't there but from what you've just described it sounds like the perfect away performance

 

[mowgli]

0-0 on tuesday will do me.

 

[McShambles]

Will it though? I've been thinking about this. As long as Bury avoid defeat tomorrow, I'm still confident about going up automatically, given the small squad crisis Wycombe are having at the moment (injuries, suspensions and players playing out of position).

 

[UTS]

If we get a point, I'll still be satisfied. 1 point behind Wycombe with 6 points to play for.

Any Bury fan would've glad fully taken that 15 games ago
