Need to score 7 more goals than Stockport and make sure Forest Green stay within 6 to win the real quiz. Unlikely, but I'm sure everyone agrees we deserve this particular record.

Donny giving Sutton a chance here?

Agree with this broadly, I would be open to keeping Baldwin on a reduced role - it seems like it'll be hard to find someone to be play 10 games a season who will fit the system well, but he'd have to be up for that and given his issue seems to be concentration I don't think only playing...

Yeah I can't argue with you there. You never know, they don't consult EFL clubs on lots of things these days...

Well, the difference is with only two promotion places it's more likely to fail, and with that you might see teams feeling as though they have to spend more to "guarantee" it, putting them in a bigger hole if they fail. No arguments on your other points though, the Championship is complete...

I do see this argument but for me it's as much about the sides that hover around the bottom of L2 for years as it is the quality of teams coming up. It might need more thought around supporting teams that go down, but then if it's not as hard to come back up then that might not be needed. On...

I might be reading it wrong but I don't think it even addresses the fixture congestion issue that well anyway - they're going to have cup games on weekends with no PL clashes, so that will only push those league games to midweek, and they're starting later and getting rid of the winter break...

I'd be surprised if we go "full Bradford" (obviously would be delighted) but there is definitely a huge opportunity, particularly with those 18-23s who have seen theirs go up 400% or whatever it is. I was genuinely gutted when they went up, I thought it was really bad news for Notts but it's...

Good explanation of how far away we are really, the quality you had missing as well as coming off the bench and we had to recall a defender from Boston United to fill the bench with about 4 injuries.

We've just got nothing with so few players willing/able to put a shift in and against a really good team it showed. The defence is a calamity waiting to happen at all times but they got nothing from those in front of them, Langstaff and Austin aside. I believe in the style of play if we get...

Team of the season not Best 11 players, so you'll always get some differences between the two. Jones will have been very easy to vote for with his injury history and the record on his side

Agents of League Two players have had a terrible day. Congratulations to Wrexham and Stockport (and Mansfield too, let's be honest). Well deserved.

Notts don't have a defence tbf and we managed a draw against MK, you'll be fine.

Max Dean not read the script at all, the crowd is all set up to turn on the team, so he decides to give them someone else to hate. Deserve to be at least level at half time, not sure we can keep this press up but we've been very good I think.

Yes, thank god they've been keeping it to themselves the last few weeks. Think it'll be really interesting anyway, a team playing a similar style but clearly much more successful with it. I would probably start with pressing high in mind and leave out McGoldrick and/or Crowley, whether there's...
