The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I just noticed Burnley have conceded only 9 goals all season 😳 problem is they are barely scoring over 1.0 a game. Relegation race really heating up with Pompey and Plymouth picking up form
 
With 14 matches to go, it's still wide open from 2-8 in League 2. Doncaster is 2nd, but they have played at least 1 more match than everyone behind them

2-Doncaster-58 (+1 game played)
3-Wimbledon-57
4-Notts-57
5-Bradford City-57
6-Port Vale-55 (2 games in hand with Doncaster, 1 game in hand with everyone else ahead of them)
7-Crewe-52 (+1 game played)
8-Grimsby-51

None of the top 8 play each other this week, so there's no telling what this will look like in 7 days. Bradford City is the only club 2-8 who have a midweek match in addition to the Saturday match.

Yeah, it’s crazy with Burnley and that defensive record. I think JJ Watt made some sort of bet with the team as well. After yet another clean sheet this weekend it’s only 2 goals allowed in the last two months.

Quick update before today's matches. Bradford City won both of their matches springing them into 2nd and with 1st place Walsall lost again, they are just 4 points back

1-Walsall-67
2-Bradford-63
3-Doncaster-61

4-Notts-58 (1 game in hand)
5-Wimbledon-57 (1 game in hand)
6-Port Vale-56 (2 games in hand)
7-Crewe-55

8-Grimsby-52 (1 game in hand)
9-Salford-48
 
Crazy match day on Tuesday. Only ONE of the top nine picked up 3 points, and that was 2nd place Bradford, who find themselves racing up behind Walsall, who have pissed away a 10 pt lead

1-Walsall-68
2-Bradford-66
3-Doncaster-61
4-Knotts-58 (1 in hand)
5-Wimbledon-57 (1 in hand)
6-Port Vale-57 (2 games in hand)
7-Crewe-55
8-Grimsby-53 (1 in hand)
9-Bromley-51
 
Pompey beat Championship leaders Leeds at home today, taking 4 points of them this season.

Top 3 this year scored 0 goals and won 0 games at Fratton. An absolute masterclass managerial job by John Mousinho, especially when you consider we've lost 6 centerbacks for the season (with a 7th missing significant time earlier)...captain Marlon Pack has been playing centerback, and he's normally a DM.

I have felt all year we'd be safe, and with today's win Pompey sit 10 points clear with 10 matches to go.

Once again, the top 9 were not in good form as only 3 of the top 9 got all 3 points.

1-Walsall-68
2-Bradford-66
3-Doncaster-62
4-Wimbledon-60 (1 in hand)
5-Knotts-58 (1 in hand)
6-Port Vale-58 (2 in hand)
7-Crewe-56
8-Grimsby-56 (1 in hand)
9-Colchester-52 (1 in hand)
10-Bromley-51

Wimbledon, Port Vale, Colchester, Grimsby and Knotts all have matches Tuesday to make up matches in hand, so there will be some consolidation before next weekend.
 
The weekend ends like so:

1-Walsall-70
2-Bradford-69
3-Wimbledon-64
4-Port Vale-64 (1 in hand)
5-Doncaster-63 (1 in hand)
6-Notts-62
7-Grimsby-59
8-Colcester-58
9-Crewe-58

ETA: Some big matches this weekend:

Walsall-Wimbledon
Colcester-Grimsby
Crewe-Port Vale
