⚽Match Thread vs. Sutton United FC 27.02.24 [EFL L2]

I think both clubs are finding out now that the gap between the National League and League 2 is greater than we thought, and frailities we both got away with last season are being punished this season

That's definitely the case. The difference between the leagues is substantial - although don't tell Chesterfield fans that, as they think it'll be a cake walk for them next season. Given how big the gap between them and us was last season they're in for a huge reality check. Deluded doesn't come close to describing that lot.

A lot of teams last season were beaten before a ball was kicked when they faced either of us, that's not the case this season. Every team has threats, are generally well organised, fitter and have the belief they can beat you regardless.

You might be right but Chesterfield look better equipped already. Loads of EFL experience which we certainly don’t have - even Wrexham had a few players with little or no experience in the EFL.
Where Wrexham are ahead is the manager has been successful in the EFL. The home form they have allows for results like last night. Average 2 points in L2 and you will be promoted.
Chesterfield will do well next season. Especially if the likes of Stockport, Mansfield, Wrexham and that fake club go up.
