Welcome to the Run-In: Part 2

So what’s changed in the last week? Well, not that much: everyone stuttered except for Stockport County, who weren’t impressive but managed to nick a win against AFC Wimbledon. Of course, the timing of the Easter Monday fixtures probably made us feel worse than everyone else: having seen our rivals stumble, we had a chance to really take a grip on the promotion race, but … Continue reading Welcome to the Run-In: Part 2

After you, Claude.

Does anyone actually want to be promoted from League Two this year? The remarkably erratic form of…well, just about everyone makes the final stretch of the season incredibly difficult to predict.
