It is not, in any way, a *strong* league. What an utterly deluded notion. The standard of the division is shocking. Week after week, we play teams who set out solely to defend with their low block and every time, we struggle to deal with it. I have not seen a team this year that I would describe as impressive. The fact that we are as bang average as everyone else is not something to be proud of.

We are hardly playing bloody Liverpool and Real Madrid! There is not even a Stockport or a Wrexham. The reality is that we are meekly losing to dross like Vale and Chesterfield, due to a combination of (mostly) average players and a manager who could not spell proactive if he was given a dictionary.

Realism is required. Then again, given the names of the most recent contributors, is the line of argument a surprise? Any resistance to the status quo must be ruthlessly crushed!

What a strange post. I think you are inside your own head reading some of your posts.

Let me get this right you think the standard of League Two is shocking. You think big spending Port Vale and Chesterfield are dross. It?s weaker this season because of doesn?t have a fourth tier anomaly that was Wrexham and to a lesser degree Stockport. We have mostly average players and a reactive (unimpressive?) manager?

This is the fourth tier of English football. Let?s not forget.

With all that in mind you predicted we would finish 15th so you should be happy with our position right now and throughout the season. If being happy is a stretch then you must be pleasantly surprised all things considered?
