The Lower League Thread - Real World Football - FM24

Absolutely gutted about yesterday. We were the better team on the day and should have won. How their keeper stayed on the pitch for the handball outside the area I'll never know, ref bottled that decision. Devasted to lose on penalties, the worst I've ever felt after a match. Not embarrassed to say I shed a tear, so proud of our players.

But well done to Rovers, someone had to win and someone had to lose, football I guess.

Up the Mariners.

So, Leeds appoint Uwe Rosler as their new manager. Could't have thought someone worse for the job than him

Stan Ternant and Mick Wadsworth jump straight to mind. As does Paul Ince. To be fair to the bloke, it's only a year since he pretty much got Brentford up and guided Wigan to the play-offs. And it's not like he's going to be given the chance to succeed or fail properly anyway - first run of poor form, he's gone with his reputation intact because Leeds is a madhouse.

Feel sorry for Redfearn. Decent bloke who's been treated like crap.

What's so bad about Rosler? I don't think his successes at Brentford and Wigan (his 1st season anyway) was a flash in the pan, there's a good manager in him.

I know exactly how it feels to miss out on promotion due to losing on penalties, it hurts so it does.

I didn't say he was a bad manager or something along the lines. I just think that Rosler, not having been connected to the club before, might be in for a hard time before his tenure even started. And with the treatment of Redfearn and Cellino still being at the helm and having a massive say in transfers and everything, I just can't see this working at all

Whomever took over was/is going to have a hard time with Cellino! Rosler is just another sacrifice.

So it's Southend who join Shrewsbury, Burton and us into League 1 after one hell of a play-off final. Scored in the 120th minute to get to penalties aswel

So so so fucking happy Southend got a last minute equaliser after time was added on for Wycombe's time wasting.

Can not believe it was Joe Pigott who scored that equaliser. Used to play against him fairly often years ago

Preston a goal up inside the opening three minutes against Swindon.

Jermaine Beckford the goalscorer.

Preston really going for it. Might be the end of their playoff jinx now being 3-0 up

Beckford once again showing he's a big-game player. Get him playing in big games and he'll fire for you. He did for Leeds at the top of League One, he did for us at the bottom of the Championship, and he's done it again for Preston.
