League 2 Watch

The main takeaway for me is how impressive Carlisle's fanbase is.

Even with another meh season and boycotts, ours is pretty good. Change of ownership and we'd be top 3.

100%

Notts creeping ominously back up the table

[Batch]

Yeah, with Walsall becoming Walstall its all up for grabs

[adje]

Still think Notts are the best side

[iParadise]

I think Walsall will drop out of the autos and into the playoffs with Notts getting that third place.

I will absolutely love it, if Walsall are still in League Two next season  That will surely be the biggest drop off in recent times!

I think Walsalls performance at the CG was probably the most convincing of teams I’ve seen this season. Not exceptional but a well rounded unit of a team. No one else has really stood out as exceptional like promotion winning teams in the past have (Luton for example) but you’ve been able to see certain cogs in teams that show why they’re up there in a poor division.

Small margins and all hypothetical but a full season of a spine of Ripley, Wright, Delaney, Clarke (in midfield) and Smith is a decent enough base, it’s the cogs around them which I think classes this squad as firmly mid table.

Only if McGoldrick is playing

Totally agree, when any non Swindon fan asks me about the teams we have faced I say that not one apart from the early season Walsall side that I have seen at home have shown being any better than us. The Wimbledon game was a prime example where I was expecting far more from them being where they are in the Division, but they just became another team trying more to stop us playing which probably says more about our improvement.

Looking at the local media round here I think after Tuesday Carlisle fans are pretty much resigned to their fate, be interesting to see how they go with loads of cash in the NL next year, I imagine hoping to be a Wrexham..... but their shambolic management (both on and off the pitch) doesn't suggest that and possibly is a warning to all that money doesn't necessarily mean success....

Fair point.

Given we have shambolic management too (off the pitch), this suggests that even a Clem lottery win wouldn't change anything here.  On the pitch, we must be very grateful indeed for Holloway.

No doubt about it. 'Football Jesus' was smiling on us, the day that Holloway appeared out of nowhere....we were on our way to oblivion at that point. Maybe we still are but at the very least he got us a stay of execution...

This is some game at Walsall, who seems to be self imploding yet again. So far! Last year's Town tormentor Tolaj  prominently involved

Shame today’s bottle job is at the expense of letting Port Vale top the league.

Fingers crossed for a 4-3 win for Walsall.
