Quarter season league two review.

So, a quarter of the way through the season seemed like a good time to see what's happening in my favourite English division, league two.

No-one's gone into administration yet, so that's a good start.  A jumper was lost at Oxford, Barnet players reimbursed the travelling fans who watched them lose 7-0 at Crewe, Northampton hilariously knocked Liverpool out of the League Cup, Chris Sutton walked away from Lincoln, and my favourite story so far, Simon Davey was fired by Hereford a mere 10 games into the season. 

Click here to see the long version of why Darlington fans hate him. The short version?  Well, whilst still in charge at Darlo he went to the U.S in the summer, and when he was there he resigned by email, saying he'd got a great job in the States, a once in a lifetime opportunity that he had to take for his families sake etc etc.  Thne he gave up that magnificent and in no way fake offer in order to join Hereford.  Bloody Hereford!  So I'm very happy he got fired, as are some other people.

On the pitch, there's been some epic games with the 7 goal game barrier being reached 7 times already, including a 7-4, a 5-5 with 4 goals in the last 10 minutes, a 6-4, and Hereford, post Davey firing coming back form 3-0 down at half time to win 4-3.

Torquay looked really good in August, and kept a clean-sheet streak going from last year for another 4 games or so, a streak that ended rather cruelly at 998 minutes.  Since then things have gone wrong and they've slumped so far as to be out of the playoffs.  Chesterfield are your current leaders, with Port Vale and Rotherham making up the rest of the automatic promotion spots.  Barnet and Hereford are currently in relegation places.  To see how that and the rest of the division fits in with my pre-season predictions, click here.
