    Just watching league 2 play off final, we could do a lot worse than Dan butler left back for Newport, out of contract in June, 24 yr old. played 120+games in last 3 years in league 2, won newports player of the year 2 of those 3 season's. Good energy and great delivery and more importantly proven at league 2 level which is what we need

    I’m watching it too.

    The quality is gash.

    Exactly. A strong window and automatic promotion is a real possibility. I've not seen one team that's been anything more than average in these league 2 playoffs.

    Mate, the standard is god dam awful.

    Don't let anyone lower your expectations.

    Bradford City must get out of this league next season.

    You’re still only comparing us to the top sides currently in L2. We finished bottom of 4 teams relegated (by some distance), so we still have to improve just to get past those sides

    Oh, here he is again telling us we shouldn’t accept anything other than auto-promotion, whilst telling us to give the failures from last season another chance.

    The 2 don’t go together Fordy. Stick with those players and we won’t get anywhere near top3. Manage to offload half and replace them with much better quality and we do have a chance of going straight back up.

    Now, how do we manage to offload the wasters?!?!

    The quality in Div1 was not very good this season and yet we came bottom with one of the larger budgets...

    Watching a game of football and deciding the whole division must be crap is a new level of stupid.

    Well done guys.

    The advantage we have in league 2 is a lot of teams just have players on 1 year deals so there are some good players can be got on free transfers if we can compete on wages which we should. We don't have to spend loads to build a good team, it does depend on what big earners we can ship out. For example jamille Matt i think is out of contract, hes a donkey but that's what you need in league 2, even doyle would score with him alongside him

    To be fair we had a touch of quality in our promotion season in league two, Nahki Wells was miles ahead of anything that these two teams have.

    Our 2012-2013 side would have beaten both of these teams.

    Seriously mate the likes of @BoingBoing@BoingBoing and @Jason McKeown@Jason McKeown are trying to lower fans expectations.

    Feck that I am out with a major bookmarker now and we are favourites for next season for a reason.

    Don't let anyone lower your expectations.

    This league is shi&e

    Experienced or not, good managers wheedle out poor players and replace them in order to improve. Did Guardiola or Klopp come in and suddenly make their teams better? No, they worked with the better players and got rid of most of the rubbish.

    The problem is that most of ours are in the rubbish category? They were before they arrived and will be once they’ve gone. And even the great managers mentioned above wouldn’t be able to change that
