Who’s coming down from League one

Well it looks like we have a good chance of staying in the league now so I had a Quick Look at who will be joining us next season.
Carlisle are already relegated and looking at the other contenders hopefully Burton , Port Vale and Fleetwood join us as they’re a lot nearer than Cheltenham .

With Chesterfield already promoted I really hope Halifax manage to join them in the Play Offs , they’re both good away days plus they might bring a few to Blundell Park.

I’m also hoping Mansfield blow it as that’ll be another game that’s not too far away

The NL playoffs will be interesting as there’s not really a single club who you’d consider to be a traditional ex-league club (unless you’re really old!).

It could well be Bromley or Altrincham, either of which would be real eye catchers. Alty for me, preferably, as I know someone who supports them.

Could do with Mansfield getting promoted to clear out some financially backed teams and make the division more even. Chesterfield replace them for a close-ish game.

Likewise why FG would be a bonus if they get relegated. Colchester are financially backed too bizarrely even though they are constantly circling the drain.

None of the teams coming down seem like they would distort the division financially from what little I know of them. Fleetwood's backer is in jail at the minute which presumably means they are no longer getting propped up hence the likely relegation.

It's early in the piece but I think Doncaster will do well next season. That win against us set them off on a long decent run .

Hopefully as you say Mansfield go along with MK , Wrexham & Stockport and it should be a more balanced league .

All teams with less resource coming down and at least 1 from the league below will be a small hitter in financial terms . I doubt Crewe will fare so well if they stay down and it will be interesting to see if Barrow retain Wild if they don't make it through .

Two of the more well supported clubs Bradford and Swindon have troubles behind the scenes so might not be competitive , possibly even strugglers ?

I guess we have to get ourselves sorted out to see if we can have any sort of meaningful impact on league 2 next time out.

Problem with Doncaster is, the stand out players have been loans. They have Matty Craig, Adelakun and Lo-Tutala. I don't see any way they keep any of them. Adelakun is far far too good for this level and it's only injuries that have held him back, I imagine if Lincoln don't go up they'll have him in the squad or he'll at least be at L1 level so replacing that quality of player will be tough. Lo Tutala has been outstanding for them and Hull will want him to move up a level. Matthew Craig signed a new deal at Tottenham last year so they obviously rate him highly and I expect he'll be in L1 next season also.

If Wrexham, Stockport, Mk and Mansfield go up, replaced by Carlisle, Fleetwood, Burton & Cheltenham then this league looks considerably easier than this year.

This season has been the toughest I can remember, Chesterfield coming up will be a challenge but the play-offs in the NL don’t look all that much either.

Add in Morecambe & Accrington who seem to be cost cutting to the extreme somewhat . It should make for a much more interesting league you would have thought .

Fleetwood, presumably, are beginning their descent back to their natural level with their sugardaddy locked-up for the foreseeable. I'd personally like to see Burton survive the drop on account of Max Crocombe and Martin Paterson being there, but either way the four coming down look to be outfits who have played a lot of football at this level (or below) this century.

This season's unquestionable unprecedented difficulty level shouldn't excuse our own glaring errors and deficiencies, but it does look like there'll be much less of a head wind in League Two next season. I'd personally prefer to see a Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield top three this season as I can't bring myself to wish any form of success on MK Dons, but as long as three of those four go up it doesn't greatly matter all that much.

I just want MK Dons & Colchester gone for the actual matchday experience  ,two away days I have enjoyed  far less off the pitch in recent memory tbh . I just find them both souless experiences and the beer isn't particularly good.  

A re-visit to Burton would bring back bad memories but would be fun to take over their own patch again , in better circumstances for us : a last day win to get us promoted and relegate them to their rightful place  would be some sort of karma .

Got to stay up first before looking !
