That means we need to have a rundown of the lower leagues in the English football pyramid. EFL League One: We know a few things already: Lincoln and Cardiff are going up, and Rotherham, Port Vale and Northampton are going down. The playoff race is very exciting.
There are six teams competing for four places. The big question is whether or not Luton Town can find their way in the top six after spending most of this season midtable (a disaster after having already faced back-to-back relegations). Your hoddler-in-chief will also be keeping a close eye on Bradford City, who seem to be a little inconsistent in their results.
And don’t forget about Leyton Orient on the other side. A year ago they were pushing for the Championship. Today it’s about survival.
Top eight: Lincoln City (100 Pts) (C) Cardiff (91 Pts) (P) Bolton Wanderers (75 Pts) (X) Stockport (74 Pts) Bradford City (74 Pts) Steveneage (72 Pts) Luton Town (71 Pts) Plymouth (70 Pts) Bottom six: Peterborough (52 Pts) Leyton Orient (51 Pts) Exeter City (49 Pts) Rotherham (41 Pts) (R) Port Vale (39 Pts) (R) Northampton (35 Pts) (R) League Two: Can Harrogate Town complete the great escape? They’ve won their last two straight games to bring themselves on level with Crawley Town and just one point back of Newport County and Tranmere. Remember: Only the bottom two sides are relegated to the National League.
