I would imagine they're not going to be able to get promoted again next season, as I don't think financially they'll be able to spend like they'd need to in order to get promoted. But who knows! I do think it'll be harder because there are bigger teams with big budgets at that level that there simply aren't in League Two, but they're already paying players wages comparable with that level and I don't think it'll take them long to compete for a place in the Championship at all, thankfully.

Bobfoc Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Meanwhile, Forest Green are close to relegation. They're the only League Two club paying more than half what Wrexham are spending on agent fees, but it clearly hasn't worked for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Steve Evans has returned to Rotherham. Let's hope Stevenage thrive in his absence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Stevenage will probably appoint another cretin like Graham Westley again to be fair. Evans is an atrocious bloke but you can't argue with his results, sadly. Worked wonders at Stevenage and did very, very well with Rotherham last time around too.

lanky316 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I'm going to surprise you, I hate Steve Evans again! In fairness, we knew something like this would happen sooner or later and it's down to just hoping that whoever comes in next can keep things at least stable and that the team don't get completely gutted. He's done an amazing job and got us again punching well above our weight so enjoyed the good times while they lasted and just hope we don't fall apart again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 It's a very bad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I cannot believe Doncaster Rovers. 2-0 down at half time in front of 10k at home, came back to win 4-2 late on against Play-Off rivals Barrow and make it nine wins in a row. It's now completely in our hands going into the last day, never known anything like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 How do Doncaster fans feel about Grant McCann these days? He's obviously got them on a great run of form right now, but is there still any lingering resentment about the time he left them to join Hull? Can you trust him not to do something similar in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colly Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Semi EFL (and also because I can't be arsed to find the National League thread), Gateshead have been prevented from taking part in the playoffs due to ground issues. Ruddy council. Weirdly because they've already set the fixtures 5th place Solihull have been given a bye to the final while 4th place Altrincham still have to play a semi.

Bobfoc Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 That surely means that they can never get promoted to the EFL until it's sorted, in which case they'd only be playing to avoid relegation next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colly Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Indeed. Highly motivating. And I've just realised I massively mangled the playoff structure and forgot the quarter final stage... Still find the "2 teams go up" silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Been a long time since that's been an issue. Probably last time was Stevenage? That was a little different as they deemed the ground good enough for England to play games at but not Darlington for... reasons but think that was the last time ground criteria became a problem. It's horrible for Gateshead as it prevents further growth while they try and fix things. Hopefully it doesn't hit the team and they can get things sorted in the future. In other news, Blackburn with one of the great own goals against Sheffield Wednesday. One of the great comedies of errors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you trust him not to do something similar in the future? The fans love him, and never wavered during our very bad form earlier in the season. Things have gotten so bad over the past few seasons that he was welcomed back with open arms. Things he said before coming back and when he did suggested he had reflected on the manner of leaving us in the lurch. Can you trust him not to do it again? I don't trust any manager or player not to personally, but that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted Tuesday at 20:46 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 20:46 I'm sorry to keep harping on about this, but also I'm not. Doncaster have now equalled their club record of 10 wins in a row, set in 1947, with a 4-1 win at Colchester tonight. That's also three straight games scoring 4 goals. It means that we are now 5th and in need of only a point at Gillingham on Saturday to confirm a Play Off place. All for a team who were 20th at the start of last month. I've never known anything like it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted Friday at 20:38 Report Share Posted Friday at 20:38 Really looking forward to spending another year with you lads next season. Never really liked them Premier League anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted Saturday at 13:51 Report Share Posted Saturday at 13:51 Very professional today. We kept it close so we could throw one in if it looked like Cambridge could be relegated, then when it was obvious they wouldn't drop went up a gear to finish the season with a win. Top 10 finish, get someone in next season and hope we can build rather than start to drop again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted Saturday at 16:08 Report Share Posted Saturday at 16:08 That was nerve-wracking...the winning run is over bur Doncaster have made the Play-Offs and finished 5th. 2-0 up and cruising at Gillingham, the goalkeeper handballed outside the box and got sent off, they scored the free kick and then quickly equalised but Rovers held on to cap a remarkable storm up the table. I'm already looking at train tickets to Donny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
