League 2 title and promotion race?

Post by dandeclaret » Fri Apr 25, 2025 6:15 pm

Have you seen how tight that is?

1 - Doncaster P 44 pts 78 GD 21
2 - Port Vale P 44 Pts 77 - GD 18
3 - Bradford City - P 44 Pts 75 GD 19
4 - Walsall - P 44 - Pts 74 - GD 21

3 up automatically, 2 games to go.

Bradford City away at Doncaster on Saturday lunchtime, Walsall no win in 5...

Fascinating finish to the season, I just hope Bradford City can get over the line for our BD postcode Gloryhunters, and I know it will mean a lot to the WAT's if Bradford City can win a league title.... they'll be out dancing in the streets. Good luck to them, jdrobbo and Bosscat amongst others.

Sadly, I’m convinced that they’re going to go up, this time.

Everyone below them seems intent on not putting up any sort of challenge, despite City not being on the best run themselves.

It’ll be reet - a promotion will only be a blip and they’ll be back down to their rightful division soon enough.

eight draws and 4 defeats for Walsall in last 12 matches before which they were way ahead of rivals at the top of League Two-8 points from a possible 36 is relegation form.

Walsall were 12 points clear at the end of January and are now in a playoff position.
Poor run attributed to Stoke City recalling striker Lowe who at the time was their top scorer.

So that means P18 W2 D11 L5 after P26 W18 D3 L5
One hell of a slump in form.

I was wondering what was behind their drastic drop off in form; they were coasting at one point.

Born in Bradford, grown up a Burnley fan. Years of abuse from City fans (amazingly, they were above us for too many years, during our worst times). Hate them - they’re my Rovers to a Burnley fan from Burnley.
