The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

[HajdukSplit]

Late point for Bournemouth, not enough to secure automatic promotion but with their games in hand they should do it soon

In League One, Wigan’s promotion delayed for now as they failed to beat Plymouth at home. Five teams still in the relegation fight

Forest Green Rovers promote to League One

 

[robertmac43]

Going down after being in the football league since 1907

 

[SSF]

I just dont understand really why the Lamsagams are still there.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Fulham promoted already, but they face Nottigham today who still have an outside shot at 2nd and automatic promotion.

 

[robertmac43]

Massive game in League One between Rotherham and Sunderland.

Also 3 teams all on 80 points, going to be a wild last couple of match days

 

[gary69]

Forest won and Bournemouth only got a draw.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

3 pts back of Bournemouth for 2nd with 3 to play and they play on May 3rd. Juicy.

 

[HoseEmDown]

The battle for playoff spots in league one and two are tight, still a decent amount of teams still alive. The relegation battle in league one is tough too with 2 of the 3 playing playoff chasing opponents. Even the national league has a nice playoff chase going on. Good season for drama.

if forest win out, theyre up in 2nd. Exciting exciting

 

[SSF]

I think everyone is rooting for Forest to pull that off bar Bournemouth fans.
Also, everyone rooting for Luton to make the PL

 

[robertmac43]

Yeah I would love to have Forest and Luton come up at this point. Luton for something different, and Forest for nostalgia/ Laryea

 

[DoyleG]

Going down after being in the football league since 1907

One of the original PL teams as well.

 

[These Are The Days]

And this is AFTER Forest lost 6 games and drew 1 in its first 7 games.

 

[AlanHUK]

yeah we had our worst start in 108 years.

since cooper took over we've picked up the most points in the league. But it's not just results, he's changed the whole atmosphere around the club. I've not felt the kind of vibes I get at games since he took over since the mid 90s. He's embraced the clubs history while others tried to bury it.

edit: a lot of credit also has to go to Dane who's done amazing things with recruitment

 

[robertmac43]

League One final day tomorrow. Some big matches

 

[HajdukSplit]

Wigan and Rotherham promote to the Championship

Wycombe vs. MK Dons
Sunderland vs. Sheffield Wed

Gillingham relegated on goal difference, joining them are Doncaster, Wimbledon and Crewe

 

[SSF]

L1 playoffs gonna have 2 easy teams to root for who sadly play each other in the semis.

2 goals from Blackburn in the last 20 minutes sure would be nice too

MK Franchise doesn't strike me as easy to root for, rather be stung by a stray wasp than see them win anything.

 

[gary69]

I've always hugely liked Sheff Wed over Sheff Utd, so I hope they get promoted and Utd start slipping down the ladder in the next few years.

 

[robertmac43]

Great news, great story!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

A Luton win over Fulham today would lock them into the playoffs

 

[robertmac43]

I want this for Luton! Interesting club history and something different to offer.

 

[These Are The Days]

Great news, great story!

This is incredible. Back from the dead

 

[Jovavic]

They missed out on a "They couldn't BURY us!" line
