Absolutely cracking goal from Cohen Bramell against Lewis Ward once of Reading in the PO semi for colchester. proper rocket free kick in top bins from an impossible angle

Thought the Northampton game was excellent. Both teams going at it. Cheltenham are an excellent footballing side. Very impressed. Two very different styles on show.

Pierce Sweeney also played for Exeter (he’s not far off 150 games for them) as did Jake Taylor who is also captain (and he’s coming up to 200 appearances).

Callum Harriott is still with Colchester but didn’t play yesterday so presume he has an injury or is having to isolate.

Sean Long played for Cheltenham so it looks like the L2 PO final will be reasonably well represented by former Reading players.

Shame Exeter are so limited by their ground and local conditions. They're a good little club who try to play good football. They and Taylor deserve to play at a higher level IMO

Only if they win the play-offs will they DESERVE to play at a higher level. But that's only my opinion based on too many clubs and the 'back where we belong' mantra. Every club is where they deserve to be.

Sorry, rant over (and not really aimed at Exeter or you)

It's got nothing to do with back where they belong. The point was Exeter's (and Taylor's) pitch, stadium and the weather let them down, hampering the type of game they try and play.

I think if they weren't perched next to a railway line in a tiny falling down old stadium where half the time it's raining horizontal they'd probably be doing better.

Cheltenham comfortably beaten at home by Northampton by 3-0. Exeter (who have lost in 2 of the last 3 play off finals) will therefore be face Northampton at Wembley after they beat Colchester 3-2 on aggregate.

So that’ll be a final of Lewis Ward and Jake Taylor v Keith Curle.

The 3rd goal for Northampton and 2nd goal for Exeter were lol-worthy.

Although Ward was dropped for the second leg, so its likely he wont play

I did note Sweeney has not just converted to full back, but a bit of a goalscoring one with 9 goals in 2017/18. He broke through there after a successful trial and was "fan funded" for his breakthrough season - the 1931 Fund members pay £19 a month which funds the wages of one player a year. Quite neat

What a great thing, probably becoming more necessary these days in the lower leagues.
Hopefully they’ll see their payback one day.

What a great oxf*rd game we had tonight. Wycombe gave Fleetwood a pasting, 2 red cards and missed penalty.

I would love to see them up in the league.

Looking like a Wembley showdown between Wycombe and Oxford at the moment. Oxford drew 1-1 at Pompey.

Doesn’t look like that at all. How can a 1-1 draw look likely to be an Oxford win?

Utterly blown away by Wycombe last night but should we be surprised when they have someone of the class of Ainsworth in the dugout? In a leather jacket!

If Wycombe do come up, could it be a step too far like Yeovil and they and up overstretchibg themselves and tumble back down the divisions?

Perhaps but once you get the chance to move up a division, you may as well take it

Some people were saying it was too early for us to go up in 2017. We didn’t and since then, we’ve badly struggled

Was a good result for Oxford
Pompey only lost one home game since the beginning of January 2019
