We have lost a few players from our squad and haven't really brought in anyone new. Not overly optimistic at the moment, though that might change once we get some players in the door. When that happens, hope we can continue to fight at the right end of the table.

Coventry will win the league me thinks.
Posted by: Steve201 31st July 2017, 07:00 PM
Luton Town for me - why are Forest Green so low priced?
Posted by: Flatcap 31st July 2017, 08:09 PM
I am wondering why Forest Green and Lincoln are above Carlisle United in this. 
Bit complicated for me those odds.
Anyone going to any games in this league? I am hoping to get to Cambridge on the 12th to see Carlisle play. 
Posted by: bigwiglaf 1st August 2017, 02:09 AM
As I know someone from another site who is quite a big fan of Notts County, with that being his favorite team, I'm going to go with them to win the league for this season.....of course, since I'm across the pond, I won't be making it to get any of their fixtures...
Posted by: Mack 1st August 2017, 06:54 PM
It does seem strange that Forest Green are high up in the odds. I would see them as a 50/1 at least.

How much are tickets to league two games generally? Do you pay at the gate?
Posted by: Mack 3rd August 2017, 12:29 PM
For Stevenage on match-day is £21.00 (Seating).
Posted by: Steve201 3rd August 2017, 09:03 PM
That's really expensive!

Tenner for Irish league at the gate!
Posted by: Flatcap 5th August 2017, 09:15 PM
Disappointing start for Carlisle, hopefully better next week.
Posted by: vidcapper 7th August 2017, 09:06 AM
I just hope we (Cheltenham) can stay up!
Posted by: Mack 7th August 2017, 12:20 PM
8-2 for Luton Town against Yeovil.
Posted by: Flatcap 23rd August 2017, 12:34 AM
A loss and two wins so far in the league, I am hopeful we can do a Plymouth and go up this season after last season's disappointment.
Posted by: Fogarty 4th September 2017, 03:14 PM
Looking likely that Paul Tisdale will get a new contract for Exeter City after a fine start to the season.
Posted by: Mack. 13th September 2017, 11:52 AM
Not so great start of the season for Forest Green in their first season in the Football League. Hoping that can be improved.
Posted by: Mack. 19th September 2017, 07:59 AM
Chesterfield and Port Vale both sacked their managers following Saturday's matches.
Posted by: Flatcap 28th September 2017, 06:08 PM
Chesterfield are due to appoint a new manager on Friday, Branston has left the club.

Jack Lester has been appointed as the new manager of Chesterfield. This has just been confirmed.
Posted by: Flatcap 4th October 2017, 07:29 PM
Port Vale have appointed Neil Aspin, a former player as their next manager.

Another managerial update, Rossi Eames has gone at Barnet and is replaced by Mark McGhee (a blast from the past there).
Posted by: Mack'sXmasSack 3rd December 2017, 09:09 AM
Once in the Premier League at the start of the millennium to the lowest Saturday league crowd in Coventry for 59 years on Saturday. Just 6381.
Posted by: Flatcap 22nd January 2018, 11:52 AM
Mark McGhee has now moved upstairs and Graham Westley is now in charge of first team affairs at Barnet.

Back on track for Luton Town as they beat Exeter City 1-0 yesterday and go eight points clear.
Posted by: Flatcap 14th February 2018, 09:56 PM
Since our last update in here on the managerial merry go round, Shaun Derry and Cambridge United have parted by mutual consent.
Edit: - Grimsby Town and Russell Slade have also parted company.
Posted by: Steve201 18th February 2018, 12:28 AM
Hope Stanley win the league!!
Posted by: Flatcap 27th February 2018, 07:20 PM
Rather surprisingly, Steve Evans and Paul Rayner have left Mansfield Town.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43219556
Posted by: Mack. 28th February 2018, 08:24 PM
And now: Dave Flitcroft is leaving Swindon Town for Mansfield apparently. The management merry go-around never fails to disappoint us.
Posted by: Flatcap 1st March 2018, 12:10 PM
It certainly keeps us entertained and awake.
Confirmed news from Mansfield.

Only four games happening in League Two tomorrow again all games called off due to the snow.
Posted by: Flatcap 3rd March 2018, 12:45 PM
Carlisle game is going ahead according to the BBC along with Cambridge..
Posted by: Mack. 12th March 2018, 07:42 PM
Swindon Town have appointed Phil Brown as their manager until the end of the season.
Posted by: Steve201 15th March 2018, 08:12 PM
Hope Accrington the poorest team in the division get an unlikely promotion this year!!
Posted by: Flatcap 17th March 2018, 08:42 AM
Swindon have also signed free agent Ryan McGivern and appointed Brian Horton as assistant boss to Phil Brown.

Darren Sarll has been sacked as Stevenage manager.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43449319
Graham Westley has been sacked at Barnet and Martin Allen has been named as his successor. It is Allen's fifth spell as Barnet manager. Mark McGhee has also left the club.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43456712
Posted by: Mack. 19th March 2018, 11:26 PM
That would be great if Accrington Stanley did win the league.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 21st March 2018, 06:44 PM
Dino Maamria, formerly of Nuneaton, has been appointed as the new Stevenage manager. He had three spells as a player at the club.
Posted by: Steve201 21st March 2018, 09:43 PM
Yeh for Billy Kee! Plus Jon Coleman brought them up from the conference and they've kept faith in him since!
Posted by: Mack. 2nd April 2018, 11:43 PM
Shame to see scenes of fighting in the Crewe v Port Vale match and not from the players.
Posted by: Steve201 2nd April 2018, 11:45 PM
What happened here?
Posted by: Mack. 2nd April 2018, 11:50 PM
This:
https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/fa-could-study-referees-report-1411188
It was The Sun website about it.
Posted by: Steve201 3rd April 2018, 12:00 AM
Looks like poor stewarding!
Posted by: Mack. 3rd April 2018, 02:16 PM
With two games in hand, looking likely that Accrington Stanley will be promoted to League One.
Posted by: Mack. 17th April 2018, 10:28 PM
And it has happened, Accrington Stanley have been promoted to League One for the first time in their history.
Posted by: Steve201 18th April 2018, 07:18 AM
They could be playing away at Sunderland next season!!
Posted by: Mack. 21st April 2018, 06:56 PM
They will be now.
Luton have been promoted to League One.
Posted by: Steve201 21st April 2018, 08:01 PM
When's the last time Luton played at this level? I vaguely remember them being in the top flight!
Posted by: Flatcap 27th April 2018, 01:25 PM
Jack Lester has left Chesterfield.
Keith Curle has announced he will leave Carlisle in the summer. We have been waiting for news on this for some months now with his contract expiring this summer.
Posted by: Mack. 17th May 2018, 11:06 AM
The two games all level-pegging as we go into the second leg with it being goalless between Exeter and Lincoln City and 1-1 between Notts County and Coventry City.
Posted by: Mack. 28th May 2018, 10:44 PM
And back up to League One go Coventry City.
Posted by: Iz 29th May 2018, 02:36 PM
Gah, not again! That’s the second year in a row Exeter have lost out on the playoffs 
And it looks like Tisdale might be finally moving on, I’m not sure what that’d do to the club’s consistency.
