The English Lower League thread (Part 2)

[Goalie_Bob]

Birmingham's relegation should serve as a a blueprint on how to not run your club. They were doing fine until they decided to sack the manager and replace him with Wayne Rooney. Enjoy League One!

Hopefully the Wrexham boys sent a message to Tom about seeing him next season.

Bromley promoted to the Football League for the first time in club history (since 1892), Solihull loses after penalties but gets another Wembley final already next Saturday in the FA Trophy against Gateshead.

Oxford level at the half against Peterborough, with Oxford having won the first leg. The winner goes on to play Bolton for promotion to the Championship. Would be Oxford's first time at that level since the 90s

Big save in the 90+7 sees Oxford through. Excited for next Saturday!

Another Wembley day today, the local league FA Vase final (Romford vs. Great Wakering Rovers, both Essex Senior League) starting now and the non-league premier FA Trophy final (Gateshead vs. Solihull Moors, both National League) in 4 hours then.

And Solihull lose AGAIN on penalties with supposedly the same guys missing as they did in the promotion final, ouch

Birmingham fan (left side of video in grey tracksuit) scores a banger during a pitch invasion after they got relegated. Probably the best goal scored at St.Andrews this season.

Leeds starts with a very attacking line-up, with quartet Piroe, Summerville, Rutter and Gnonto on the pitch at the same time.

Will they be able to turn around their poor form and previous playoff failures?

Edit: Gruev makes it 1-0 from a free kick, his first goal for the club. Seemed that keeper let it go in rather easily, he was maybe positioned a bit wrong.

Edit2: 2-0 now after 20 mins, Piroe with a close range header, keeper was too hesitant to go for the ball to catch it.

Few minutes later, Meslier makes a great one-handed save when Sargeant was 1 on 1 against him.

Rutter makes it 3-0 already before 40 mins.

I had no idea who owned Leeds. Makes me hate them even more.

 

[gary69]

Soton takes a lead over WBA after 50 mins with a well taken shot by Will Smallbone. First half was rather dull.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Smallbone?

Poor lad

 

[gary69]

2-0 now at 77 mins, by Armstrong. Looks like it'll be Leeds vs Southampton at Wembley.

WE'RE OFF TO WEMBLEY!!!!!!
