The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

[JPBolts]

Oh no the return of the dark ages

What an insane comeback...love to see it. I'd like Wednesday to go up (selfishly) because it will make League 1 a bit weaker next year for Pompey.

Game should have been over. Going to 7 minutes is one thing but nearly 8 when you put up 6?

Peterborough totally bottled it though, they were not like the team from the first leg and were just allowing Wednesday to do what they wanted and not even trying to play any kind of football.

Eh, there was an injury and a sub in added time. Yeah it was Wednesday's man, but still. I didn't find it that egregious.

What a match, those inside the stadium will never forget.

Don't know the details but apparently Darren Moore was targeted with all kinds of abuse after the 1st leg for the whole week, but the crowd was certainly behind the team from the start when Moore acted like a choir orchestrator.

The manager has to get SO much credit to keep his team and the fans believing, you saw it from the 1st whistle.

 

[NJDevs26]

I’ve often criticized the two legged playoff but that one game might get me to switch my mind. I had no dog in that fight but now I’m rooting for Sheffield Wednesday to get promotion.

These promotion games at all the levels are insane though, whether it’s two legged or single elim.

 

[JPBolts]

I’ll put a lot of money that the winner gets Villa at home first game in the PL.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Either team would be a great story.

Luton score but called back for being an inch offside and then they lose their captain to injury within the first 8 minutes

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Luton go up 1-0, they are much the better side. 4 years ago Clark was playing non-league and now puts Luton up.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Really hope Lockyer is ok... Atmosphere is electric..

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Coventry equalize on the break! Pretty stuff

Here we go.....

 

[KlausJopling]

Wow. Was just about to post about how everyone on Luton has been playing tired since the start of the 2nd half.

Edit: called back rightfully.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Woooooow, i’m glad the game wasn’t decided on a error by a youngster like that

 

[KlausJopling]

Luton up!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Oh the poor man…

 

[Prntscrn]

Kenilworth Road will be sick

 

[Rob]

Only EFL match I watched all season.
What emotion at Wembly. The FA Cup in June won’t even compare.

 

[Eye of Ra]

first time ever for luton to be in PL?

 

[HajdukSplit]

first time ever for luton to be in PL?

In the 'modern/re-branded' Premier League yes, but they were in the first division in the 80s/early 90s. They won the League Cup in 1988

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Come on you Hatters!!

 

[trostol]

Good for Luton...hope they figure a way to stay up...

 

[spintheblackcircle]

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Alfie had a good 30 minute piece on Luton last year

 

[gary69]

I preferred Luton to be promoted, but obviously they will face a massive uphill battle to stay up next season.

Even if they go straight back down, hopefully there will be some memorable wins and other moments for the fans.

Manager Edwards did a great job since taking over.
