A better summary I think.

Yup.

Of course you can’t blame relegation on them, but you can certainly point to moments where we should have won and were in commanding positions before fucking it up.

Ultimately you cannot argue you are good enough to stay in the league with our home record. Losing a three goal lead to ANY team with 20 minutes to go is unacceptable. 96th min equaliser for Cheltenham so typical of our season. Lack of fitness is massive. Jacko is not the problem but I also don't think he will get us out of L2.

We are in that league for the long haul this time.

Lots of clubs are.....we don't have a divine right to zoom up the leagues.
And don't forget the car parking will be a lot easier. :ugeek:

Kill me if this ages badly but my view is L2 is the "easiest" of the leagues to progress out of. No absolutely massive wage bills (Wrexham excepted this time), and less of a gulf in quality between bottom and top. Plus there are three auto promotion places.

I reckon we will finish about 11th in L2 next season. Early prediction.

It's not as hard if you've got a bit of momentum as Wrexham will have. When you've had an abject season and been relegated first thing you have to do is to steady the ship and make sure you don't end up in trouble again.And that won't be easy if were going to have another 12 in 12 out scenario

This time next year we'll be a non-league club.

Which is exactly what the AFC lot were saying this time last year. They are sitting in 21st.

If we don't get out of L2 in 2 seasons we will be there for 5-10.

Mansfield have been stuck there since we scraped a 1-0 against them to win promotion.
