Left Back in League Two

Filed Under football league

The Championship may bamboozle at both ends of the table and League One has plenty of exciting final day fixtures to enjoy, but life in and out of League Two was settled on Tuesday night as Chester gained the point needed to avoid relegation and end Mansfield’s 77-year stay in the football league. The Stags will be joined by a pitiful Wrexham side who have never looked like staying up since hitting rock bottom at the beginning of February, while a special mention must go to Dagenham & Redbridge who have survived a first season in League Two on nothing more than a shoe string budget, a fantastic team-spirit and a handy forward in the shape of Ben Strevens.

Up at the top, money has talked as arguably the division’s richest two sides, MK Dons and Peterborough, cantered to automatic promotion. Paul Ince is undoubtedly doing football management the right way after keeping Macclesfield up last year and guiding the Dons to promotion this year but, personally, the jury is still out on the qualities of Darren Ferguson. Hereford will be joining them in League One, while the quartet of Rochdale, Stockport, Darlington and Wycombe will do battle in the playoffs.

Tomorrow: League One.
