The Lower League Thread - Real World Football - FM24

Can't even remember the last time Bigi actually played a game for us. They will probably won't be given a fair chance and be shipped out on loan while we sign some chancer's who'll end up being a complete waste of money.

It'll be interesting to see how many players will leave and who will leave . . .

Was Bigirimana not injured for quite some time? Armstrong should get the chance at least since I'm not gonna think Prem clubs will pay the big bucks for him just now. Vuckic was great at Rangers but hasn't quite cut it at Wigan

Hoping Halifax win the FA Trophy, but really want to see you guys back in the League

Thanks! Would quite happily trade a win in the FA Trophy for a Playoff Final win. To be honest, none of us are at all bothered by the FA Trophy, it's had a weird feeling amongst fans ever since we've been down here.

Both finals are live on BT Sport by the way if anyone is gonna watch, kickoff is 4pm this Sunday, similar next week too I think.

Ahh I miss having Sky Sports when the play offs kick off! Good luck to Plymouth tonight against Portsmouth, really don't like that club or its fans.

Oh do the play-offs start tonight? I thought the first one was a Championship one on Saturday?

Rumours of Rafa to Everton seem to be getting more air time...

I don't think Everton fans want him given the fun and games that went down when he was Liverpool gaffer. The one I heard for them was Frank de Boer.

I'm prepared to wait and see. I love the idea of a Champions League-winning manager seeing enough to like about our shitheap of a club that he would be prepared to rebuild the playing squad in the Championship, but I'm still braced for a total cockwomble like Steve Bruce.

Don't think so.

I think he's seen as someone who got distracted and stopped concentrating on the football, - it's a real shame for him - he looked a real top prospect 4 years ago.

Unbelievable scenes after our second went in, could've/should've scored more in the first half but second half they were all over us so I will take a draw all day long. Lucky to finish with 11 men, mind. Our striker put his head to the back of a Portsmouth defender (I wouldn't really call it a head butt) which should've gotten him a red. It did start a touchline scrap though where their manager and our coach got sent off! Cracking atmosphere though, evenly poised for Sunday, 6pm (thanks Sky)!

I fucking hate the play offs though, I was so nervous yesterday and now I'm even more nervous! This can't be good for my health. I''ll probably have a heart attack if we get to Wembley.

Should have been a red card for the foul that led to the Portsmouth spot kick as well, don't think there was any covering defenders.

Haha I thought so too! Although Paul Cook is a scouser... but I'd fancy Wotton all day! I wonder if they'll both have to sit in the stands or not for the next game..? It's all well and good going up through the play offs but I really wouldn't fancy losing in the final!

Maybe, I've not seen any highlights yet but from what I remember there may have been a few coming across. Apparently our left-back should've or could've gone too for a bad tackle but I don't remember it, I was too caught up in the atmosphere and the occasion I think! The game sort of flew by, especially the first half.

I did also hear from blokes at home watching on Sky that their coverage was incredibly biased towards Pompey; I know they had Linvoy Primus as a pundit and no real representation for Argyle, and all they really went on about was the FA Cup win, being in the Premier League and Pompey's hardships with administration, ignoring the fact we're still recovering from our own time in administration.

I can't tell if the Forestieri offside touched Hooper to justify it or not, but the tripe whammy for Brighton of losing 2 of their best players and then conceded still fucks them sideways.

Yeah, four injuries in a play off semi final is FM levels of brutal. Don't fancy them to turn the 2 goal deficit around at their place now

Yeah. Not least given Hemed, Knockeart and Goldson are three key players, and Sidwell has been a key player of late. So, yeah, they're shitted up.

Derby choking come the season end, again. Thought this was a Hull home game at first, their fans were louder and their play is better. Two goals up at half time in the first leg, though the second one was a very fortunate deflection off Shackell. Derby need to score in this second half to stand any chance of progressing to the final, don't see them getting 3 without reply at the KC Stadium.

Newcastle could well do with looking at some of the Derby squad as potential additions, Ince and Hughes maybe amongst others?

Not sure tbh - we're likely behind PL clubs in the queue for Hughes and Ince is often very inconsistent. An article earlier suggested Keogh... new CB's required so he'd be a decent possibility. But I'm still expecting the idiots to buy random and absurd buys from the French/BeNeLux leagues to randomly turn up.

I'd like Odubajo at Hull, but I'm guessing we'll have competition given he's widely seen as one of Hull's best players. It sounds like they've destroyed the Rams today, and looks like they'll at the least be Wembley-bound barring a Derby turnaround of biblical proportions.

I watched a bit of Derby / Hull earlier and can conclusively say I would like to swerve every single player associated with that match.

If we keep a back five of Elliot, Mbemba, Lascelles, Dummett and Anita we'll have the best defence in the division by an absolute mile.

Good to see Grimsby back in the Football League.

Plymouth have booked their place in the play-off final, beating Portsmouth 1-0 in the second leg (3-2 on aggregate) but the main question now needs to be asked - who will they face at Wembley - Wimbledon or Accrington? Great chance to finally get promoted.
