Wrexham in the top 3. How does promotion relegation work in league 2?

@canefan You didn't mention it when we (Notts County) were top of the table! Top 3 plus one from the play-offs go up. Much easier to get promotion from L2 to L1 than from National League to L2.
16,000 at the game today - great to see.
To be fair I only saw the headline. Would be amazing if both of the promoted teams made a second jump together

United are really really average. City not out of 2nd gear and it’s already 2-0.

The gap between Man City and Man Utd is an enormous chasm currently.
Mind you, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all challenging Man City in the league at least for the moment.
MU are currently a mid-table team. Anyone and everyone will think they have a chance. MC strolled to victory.

@Billy-Tell I also don’t think Manchester United’s problems are easy to fix with one or two marquee signings. They’ve spent a fortune on a squad full of middle-of-road or past their prime players for whom mid-table is about right.

Most pundits pre-season picked both Notts County and Wrexham to go up this season - along with Stockport.

England's real golden generation. Will make anything less than silverware even more painful.
BBC recently did a poll and gave their own opinion of what a blended team of the current squad and the Beckham era 'golden generation' would look like. It was a pretty even balance with 2004 6 vs today's 5.

Their defensive backs are hopeless. The only player I reckon that is top notch is Bruno Fernandes. But you can’t be a one man team. Casemiro is decent too but didn’t play today.

Jude Bellingham has overhauled the great Zinedine Zidane’s record goal haul in a season for Real Madrid. It’s October and Jude Bellingham is 20 years old. Unreal talent.
Huh? what record goal haul in a season for Real Madrid did Zinedine Zidane even have?

@Billy-Tell They seem to have a lot of players who are useful but there is no set pattern to the way they way. Obviously having Varane, Martinez, Shaw out is not going to help the defence. Casemiro might be past it, Eriksen is probably past it, Mount was never going to fix anything and Antony should be put up for sale.

Add Fernandes to that list. He is old and slow. Disjointed press made it easy to carve and bypass ManU's midfield up but credit Man City. They are dam good. I mean would they have played any better with KDB? Great evaluators of talent. Great coach and they know when to off load players that no longer make the grade (Zinchenko and Jesus).

Good point for Fulham today.
Brighton are our bitches.
They only have three points (no wins) from our last 5 meetings.
Even under Parker they couldn't beat us.
Hoping ManU continue their current form in the next round...
