Not at all biased, and a fair assessment. Only thing I would say is that in our first season under Paul Cook (when we got beaten in the playoffs by your local-ish rivals) we drew a hell of a lot of games and ended up in the play-offs. I do think there is a probably an automatic place up for grabs - and that's assuming neither of Lincoln or the other lot do a Devon Loch.
Lincoln have slipped a little bit lately. It's true that Mansfield have drawn several games but wins and draws keeps the scoreboard ticking over. I think the rest are barely separable but Carlisle are coming up on the rails and I have a feeling Oldham are not finished yet. The relegated clubs from Div 1 last season were MKD, Colchester, Bury and Northants, right?
MKD, Bury, Northampton and OLDHAM were the relegated teams.
Thank you, Ballzy.
So do I...I don’t think anyone saw Accrington Stanley coming this time last year....and the season you won the League 2 title you were 7 points off of third place after we beat you in mid February I seem to remember.
Won 20 out of the last 25 games,only a couple of defeats in that run.
Must be tough being a Yeovil fan at the moment. Their team full of foreign journeyman and loan signings look to be slipping out of the league. Meanwhile one player they let slip through their grasp, Jordan Storey, has been sold for good money and is making himself at home in the Championship. And another player who was local to them, Archie Collins, is scoring wonder goals for the local rivals instead.
To be in the same division as Torquay, Yeovil, Rovers, Swindon and Argyle would be pretty neat.
