Oh duh :p Forgot there was still a game left before today. Which brings me to the updates:
LEAGUE ONE
All said and done in League Number One
At least, the regular season is.
Promoted: Swansea (we knew this already), Nottingham Forest (after a 1-1 draw by Carlisle, a 2-1 loss by Doncaster (against Cheltenham
), and a 3-2 nailbiter Forest win over Team Canada... I mean Yeovil :p)
Playoff picture:
Doncaster vs. Southend
Carlisle vs. Leeds (who'd be auto-promoted if they had their 15 points ditched
)
Relegated: Gillingham, Bournemouth, Port Vale, Luton
DC76 Canuck of the Year, League One: Simeon Jackson. Started the year in Conference, basically did
everything for Rushden and Diamonds, struggled a little bit early on in his League career after Gills picked him up in the January window, but then came forward with three goals in the late season, including one in the closing 2-1 loss against Leeds.
Runner-up: although he only played one game before being unceremoniously snatched back up into Pompey's reserves, Asmir Begovic. His lone game for Yeovil was outstanding.
LEAGUE TWOPromoted: Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Hereford
Playoff Picture: Wycombe vs. Stockport, Rochdale vs. Darlington
Relegated: Mansfield, Wrexham
DC76 Canuck of the Year, League Two: Terry Dunfield. It was either him or Ross Smith, and Ross Smith did f**k all this season worth mentioning. At least Dunfield had a few assists. And umpteen yellow cards :p
CONFERENCE PREMIERTorquay beat western rivals Exeter 2-1 in the first leg of playoff action while Cambridge and Burton played to a 2-2 draw. Return legs go Monday and Tuesday respectively.
Oh yes, and apparently Torquay decided they needed Simon Rayner back, so they recalled him from Boston in late March.
DC76 Canuck of the Year, Conference: again, Simeon Jackson.
CONFERENCE NORTHThe return leg of the Conference North playoff semis goes tomorrow. Barrow goes in with a surprising 2-0 advantage while Southport beat Stalybridge 1-scratch.
DC76 Canuck Of The Year, Conf North - Simon Rayner, in his stint with Boston. There was no other Canadian in the CN. :p
CONFERENCE SOUTHWell, it's down to Eastbourne vs. Hampton & Richmond. The H&R Block won it 1-0 on away goals as the aggregate score was 1-1 against Fisher. Godfrey and Co. will have to step up to the plate against an Eastbourne team that
crushed Braintree, 5-buzz!
Canadian of the Year, Conf South: Without question, Elliott Godfrey. While he isn't the only reason for Hampton & Richmond's amazing run this season, he's one of the biggest with his 17 regular-season goals!
FEEDERSThe promotion playoffs are over.
Isthmian winner: AFC Wimbledon 2 Staines 1 (bummer :cry: )
Southern winner: Team Bath 2 Halesowen 1
Northern Premier winner: Gateshead 2 Buxton 0 (Gateshead met Buxton in the last game of the regular season and won 5-donut there, too!
So the promoted teams are:
King's Lynn (Southern)
Team Bath (Southern)
Fleetwood (Northern Prem.)
Gateshead (Northern Prem.)
Chelmsford (Isthmian)
AFC Wimbledon (Isthmian)
Who ends up playing where? Here's what should happen by how I understand English football:
To Conf North: Fleetwood, Gateshead, King's Lynn
To Conf South: Team Bath, Chelmsford, Wimbledon
Is this right, or is someone out of place there?
