Would Jatta have made a difference do you think? 

Certainly not having our leading scorer hurt. You'd think the international breaks wouldn't be problematic in this league 

 

Missed calls, missing players....we're running out of excuses.

Went to Northampton v Blackpool today and sat in the away end. Had a grand day out although it was weird being around people celebrating the win.

 

The thought of league one football again is truly terrifying

League one was a great adventure, infact the relegation of 2008 was probably a blessing in disguise.

I missed this!

 

Be playing Shrewsbury next season then  

 

I'm guessing closer to his home considering he managed Wycombe and QPR previously.

Well colour me surprised.

Quote

A source with knowledge of the buyers’ plans told the Guardian they would ultimately like to attach an American football franchise to ­Orient that would play in the European League of Football. The 16-team competition will begin its fifth season in May and would welcome the addition of the first British franchise

Why buy a london club, when there dozens in the same city. I just thing you would be struggling to find the fan base. You think it would make sense to buy a club that you capture the whole area. Like a Norwich, maybe a Cambridge. In fact Cambridge Utd is probably a city with lots of potential to create an ambitious club. Maybe Lincoln City.

I's the pull of London.  A lot of Americans won't know anything exists outside of London, despite the rise of wrexham, London has the pull, many assume any club based there can become huge.  Added to this the franchise for the european league, london would be key there too.

Yeah probably true, you would think some sort of football advisor would say you better offer copying wrexham model seeing as its seems to have been a success. I actually someone like Lincoln City, only one of two efl clubs from Lincolnshire. Big city etc.. as potential i think to pushing into the championship. Passionate area.. with lots of history.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a collapse like Walsalls? Mental.

Losing Nathan Lowe was big. They haven't won many since Stoke recalled him. He's still 3rd in the league in goals and assists.

Comfortable win at Newport today.

 

Brace for Charlie Whitaker 

 

Much needed 3 points.

[isaidno]

6 points between the top 6 in League Two, with no team in any real sort of form.

And might get closer with Port Vale vs Bradford and Doncaster vs Walsall playing.

Went to MK Dons v Fleetwood yesterday. Poor game on the whole 

MK 2-4 

If you get chance to see Scott Hogans 84th min goal for MK it was a cracker. 

Those regularly attending the KP may have forgotten what a goal looks like 😂

 

Hoping for a LCFC goal next week v Newcastle 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Read a good article about how no one wants to win league two this season 

 

Colchester, who were the hottest team of late, have now lost their last two, including at home to Grimsby.

 

No one seems to be able to find any consistency.

[Super_horns]

So Port Vale the big winners at the top of League two tonight .

 

Morecambe give themselves hope at the bottom .

 

Wrexham and Wycombe both held with Charlton winning behind them .

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see them finish on top.

 

Not much changed for us with the results today.

 

Need the win tomorrow against Dons.

[teblin]

Went to the Burton game tonight, fairly local to me bit of a 2nd team.

 

Wasn’t overly impressed with orient (I blame wellens) but what I did is enjoy is both team having a go and it was end to end at times.

 

Big win for Burton.

[RowlattsFox]

2 big away wins for Fleetwood in a few days, shame every home game I go to is ****ing awful  

They would be right in the play off picture were it not for throwing away home wins with last minute equalisers. 

[spacemunky]

Certainly won't be any sort of welcome home party for Crowley tonight. Hope he does what he's been doing since he left us for the Donkeys, absolutely nothing.

Lovely goal from the old man
