The best of league two

[Tranmerewhite]

A few categories to see what people have thought of opposition teams and players, no voting for your own players or clubs.

I’ll put my choices below and people can copy and edit as they please.

Best opposition player: Tough one between Reece Brown and Danny Mayor for me, but the bucket shaker gets it for me, long time since I’ve seen an opposition player carry a teams performance so much.

Best away support: Bury fans were very loud for the opening ten minutes and then when they took the lead but they were quiet in between that. Exeter didn’t bring many fans but I thought they were really good even at 2-0 down.

Best home support: Home support is pretty awful in this league, Lincoln the only ground I visited where the home fans made any noisy at all, but they were good.

Best matchday experience: Again Lincoln. Decent away end, easy to park despite it being a bank holiday and plenty of watering holes to choose from. The locals were all friendly and the drinks/food in the away end were decent too.

Best opposition player: Danny Mayor got rave reviews but wasn't at the Bury game! The stand in Morecambe keeper I will say, we absolutely battered them but he was like Dino Zoff! Saved a penalty and made a string of top saves. They won 1-0 in a game that would of been 5-1 if not for him.

Best away support: None have really stood out. Mansfield travelled in good numbers for their size but were fairly quite. Tranmere deserve a mention on a Tuesday night.

Best home support: Not been many away this year but Notts were alright considering their position

Best matchday experience: Notts is a decent away day, decent pubs, decent ground... just a tiny concourse but enjoyable experience nonetheless.

Epic trolling of Viking_Magpie!

Best opposition player: Lots of good individuals this season, a few stand out ones for me like Tyler Walker and Christian Doidge but I'm going to go for Stevenage's Ilias Chair. Scored a screamer against us, and has done so against other teams - think at least 3 of his 6 goals have come from outside the box. As with Walker and Doidge, he's too good for L2.

Best away support: Going to go for Lincoln purely for the numbers they came in for our game a few weeks ago.

Best home support: I'll go for Mansfield, loudest home fans I've heard this season. Although, honorable mentions for both Bury and Lincoln.

Best matchday experience: Lots of honorable mentions like Mansfield, Forest Green and Lincoln, but I'm going to go for Crewe. Just always enjoy going there, decent away area/view with away fans situated alongside the pitch (rare in most grounds), a quality chip shop right outside the stadium and a couple of decent pubs, decent parking, train station nearby etc whats not to like.

As an exile I’ve not done too many games this season, but of what I’ve seen:

Best opposition player:
The best team (on the day) I’ve seen us play was definitely Carlisle, and the standout player was probably Hallam Hope. Saying that, all of Carlisle’s attackers were good. Chair (Stevenage) also stood out when I watched them.

Best away support:
I’ve only seen 4 Macc home games this season - Swindon, Colchester, Stevenage and Newport. No-one really stood out but I’d probably give it to Newport.

Best home support:
Notts County were the best home fans I’ve seen this season, particularly since they lost to us in a crunch match. Good number and noise. Tranmere and Lincoln have had noisy home support in previous years, but didn’t go to either of them this season.

Best matchday experience:
Port Vale probably wins this one - mainly because we took good support, made lots of noise and won. It’s also close geographically, their home support was good and I like their ground. Notts County a close second.

Best opposition player:
I thought crawleys Panutche Camara looked pretty good. He's still young but I think he will do well at this level. Sam Surridge though was probably the best player I saw this year.

Best away support:
Oldham.

Best home support:
I wasn't impressed with any team I've seen this year. Lincoln would probably have got my vote if I had attended, since they make a reasonable effort these days. Abstain

Best matchday experience:
Cheltenham, new ground for me to tick off. Nice town, nice ground sound locals, some ok pubs nearby. Long way from the train station but not too bad if you're coming from somewhere southern.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Best opposition player: Danny Mayor, Unplayable when we played at Gigg Lane. Thankfully he missed the game at our place. Also Chair at Stevenage and Nelson when he was at Swindon for me. Maybe the Oldham keeper for somehow keeping a clean sheet at our place back in October.

Best away support: Only Lincoln and Notts who have bought over 1000. Lincoln were loud once they equalised and I'll go for them because nobody else has really stood out that I can remember. But I'm intoxicated at every game.

Best home support: Notts for winning the we beat Mansfield cup at last. Decent turnout given they were bottom at the time, Lincoln fans were good at Sincil Bank but I'll say Notts.

Best matchday experience: Should be Notts as its a good day out in the city but the police are doing everything they can each year to make it awful. Hopefully I can say this is MK at 5pm tomorrow...

 

[Lborostag]

Best opposition player:
Might be because its quite recent but Chair for Stevenage was very good.

Best away support:
Oldham on a tuesday night were the first that sprung to mind.

Best home support:
Grudgingly you have to say what Lincoln have done is impressive. They get the pee taken out of them for their new fanbase but I went there in the conference in 2013 as I think our away following outnumbered them, so its a huge turnaround.
Best matchday experience:
Lincoln win again just because its a nice city and we had a good result there.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Best opposition player:
Been quite a few this season but, for the ability to stand out in a crowd, my vote goes to Stevenage Ilias Chair. Quality in abundance (I know he's on loan at Stevenage from QPR) and two superb goals pulling a draw out of a game in the last few minutes we had tied up and put to bed.

Best away support:
Loudest were Mansfield after their 94th minute equaliser at the Bank (only away end I've still heard after leaving the ground). Tranmere on Easter Monday were the most persistently noisy during a game though so either get my vote.

Best home support:
Probably split between Notts County and Bury. Both were vocal throughout the game but County can have my vote after the post match events at Gigg Lane left a sour taste.

Best matchday experience:
1.Morecambe (this season and last) remains a real favourite- fair old trek up to the NW but really simple to park nearby, locals friendly and post match Fish and Chips next to Eric on the seafront is cracking.

2. Mk Dons simply because we took our largest recorded away league following....ever and we won! The atmosphere will live long with those who were there.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Best opposition player: From the few times I’ve seen him, CJ Hamilton was outstanding, though I notice his form dropped off recently.

Best away support: Oldham were pretty good early on in the season. It’s been a poor season for travelling fans mind.

Best home support: Only been to 3 away games this year so really can’t comment on this one. Lincoln had the most fans I guess?

Best matchday experience: There’s maybe some bias because it’s my hometown but Notts will be missed if they go down. As mentioned, good pubs and Meadow Lane is a fantastic stadium.

 

[MonkeyDust]

Best opposition player: Woolery, Bishop, Norwood all impressed in games I saw. I’ll go for Norwood though, looked too good for League 2 on Tuesday.

Best away support: Oldham

Best home support: Mansfield were good when we played them, massive game at the time and they were loud.

Best matchday experience: Crewe. Easy to get to, decent pubs, good view. Easy. Macclesfield was a good day apart from the ticketing shambles, and Tranmere would have been up there but getting promoted there is old news now.

Not been away at all this season, so:

Best opposition player: The one that really sticks in my head is Newport's Tyreeq Bakinson think he was only 19 when Newport visited BP too. Looks like a real star in the making.

Best away support: There's a few teams that have brought numbers and made a lot of noise. Lincoln, but of course they thought they were gonna lift the title, and Bury stood out in recent weeks and I remember Tranmere being pretty boisterous. I'm gonna give it to Oldham though who brought many more fans than I expected given a relatively middling season beset by off-field issues and made the sort of noise you expect from a team winning 6-0, not losing 6-0.
