    League 2 Relegation Thread 2018/2019

    IIRC they only beat Cambridge in the FA Trophy when they were still in a lower division (admittedly still a pretty low point). They never beat them in the league or finished above them, I think the latter would have been much more of an embarrassment than a one-off thrashing in a tinpot...

    It's now in your hands though, with your game in hand being on current form a very much winnable one against Newport. Considering where Mansfield are and for them not to get even a shot on target after you couldn't get a clean sheet for months is impressive. Just need to keep this going and it...

    Yes, looking back at it 2010/11 was an amazing season, not just in League 2 but in all five divisions from the Premier League down to the Conference. As you say TrinidadsNumberOne, it was a season where teams either went on incredible runs or collapses, or spectacularly over (Norwich, Exeter...

    Apparently Bryn the police dog was their saviour (google that if you don't know what I'm talking about), but I'm not sure I buy that. It's true that the dog attack caused more injury time than would have otherwise been awarded, but Torquay played exactly the same amount of football that they...

    Yes, and at one point well past the halfway season I remember they were actually above Stevenage, who went on a great run to not only reach the play-offs but win them in their first season in the league, and then the next season as pre-season relegation favourites they nearly won a third...

    I wouldn't rule out Cheltenham being one of the teams you need to look at catching, lost 4 of their last 6 and were lucky with debatable refereeing decisions in two home games against fellow strugglers which they only won by the odd goal - I'd consider them more firmly a part of the relegation...

    Who Gets Relegated Alongside Ipswich Thread 18/19

    Well I was shocked when Sunderland went down and thought they'd get out out of it, as with Wolves in 2013. It just came out of the blue, whereas clubs like Blackburn, Bolton and Coventry had been on the decline for years, as opposed to being shit in the Premier League for a few seasons. Ipswich...

    The Big Bad FA Cup Thread

    Well, the way you quoted my post out of context made it look like I was paying a back-handed compliment at best to Portsmouth, which I wasn't (not intentionally anyway). No need for the sarcasm mate.

    Did the site go down again on Thursday? I'm pretty sure I checked it then (can't remember what time of day) and every day since Friday, with the exception of Wednesday, with no luck. No wonder I had so many posts to catch up on, much to my surprise. Anyway, decent and unexpected point for Notts...

    Who Gets Relegated Alongside Ipswich Thread 18/19

    Well, if they'd beaten you lot then it would have been 4 and 5 points from safety which wouldn't have been a massive mountain to climb. They've been bad no doubt but apart from one week when they were 10 points from safety they'd never been really adrift until now. Just thought with them being...

    Who Gets Relegated Alongside Ipswich Thread 18/19

    For the first time I think Ipswich are doomed, no offence to Wednesday but that was one of their more winnable games on paper. It's not mathematically over of course, but while they shouldn't give up the fight they need to start looking ahead to prepare for the worst to ensure they are prepared...

    Did you not read the rest of my post? If you did, why the selective quoting? You don't have to praise everything to the hilt about something to compliment it. Anyway, sorry you didn't get through, hope Kenny gets you up.

    The Big Bad FA Cup Thread

    Funny that I should be reading an interesting exchange between Portsmouth and QPR fans, and having not seen the FA Cup draw until now, only to find that we will be playing either team! Could be a cracking tie whoever gets through - I don't QPR are clear-cut favourites, as Pompey could do quite...

    League 2 Relegation Thread 2018/2019

    Well, despite what JJ1532 said, I’d say Newport at home is one of the more winnable games. Already look unlikely to go up or down, extremely inconsistent and worst defence outside the bottom 5. Notts won’t find many better opportunities to close the gap, but of course it’s just one game...

    Is there any chance though that this result will spur Wimbledon on and help them find some quality and form that has eluded them all season, or was it more one of those freak results that is part of the magic of the FA Cup?

    Depending on whether you’re a glass half empty or half full person, you could say for Notts the gap’s got bigger or it’s potentially smaller thanks to most of their rivals dropping points, as long they can win their game in hand. What match were they scheduled to play today?

    It would be interesting to know what the largest away following is for a team in the Conference that had never played in the Football League. Maybe something from Stevenage, Morecambe, Yeovil or Burton. As two of the very few "big" non-league non-ex-league clubs left, Woking and Altrincham may...
