From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

It's a Keegan-esque bottle job if they manage to miss promotion entirely.

The Walsall fans are not very quietly pretty unconfident on them still gaining promotion. Such a fall from a high perch has rarely been seen before at any level. Wasn't it 14 points clear in Decemeber IIRC? now just 3 points ahead having played 1 game more than every other team in L2 other than Bromley. |

On 24th Jan they were 12 points clear with a game in hand.
Now, if Bradford win their game in hand they'll be on the same points.
They're still 8 points clear of 4th, but all the teams below them have a game in hand.
I think they should just do enough to finish top 3, pretty impressive if they don't!

The ending of Lowe’s loan spell in January has had a big impact on their form - goal scoring particularly.

With the way the Jan window works now, League Two is almost two different half seasons. If you look at the table since 1st Jan, it's very different to the first half the season - this is a cool tool for that on some Ipswich website (presumably their Rich Banyard!) https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:league-two/daterange/fromdate:2025-Jan-01/todate:2025-Jun-01/type:home-and-away/Since Jan 1st, the top five are Bradford, Colchester, Notts County, Wimbledon and then us. Bottom is Franchise (oh please!) and Walsall are 16th (!) Until Jan 1st, Walsall are 12 points clear of Wimbledon, County, Doncaster and Port Vale. Morecambe bottom, we're 21st. |

Bloody hell this ref (Notts Co v Crewe) is fucking atrocious. 2 absolute cast iron pens for County not given.

Wouldn't say lottery personally, but there's not much difference between teams - just need a little extra something. We are missing it

Yeah but every team I think is missing that something extra. Maybe lottery is the wrong word but everyone is capable of beating anyone is my point |

We're just an Eoin Doyle away from being HMS Piss The League I understand the point you are making about us potentially being one very good player away… …but Doyle would be pants in this side. Not enough down the wings. Not enough low hard crosses across the box. Not enough creativity. |

then we agree! I was going to bemoan our lack of flair/something different. Then saw we actually have scored as many as most in the top 7, and its goals against that has killed us. But its never as simple as "be better at defending" because that could kill our attack! |
