Men and women up and down the country went into work this morning, writes Danny Brothers - some after a heavy commute, some sipping coffee picked up from the local Costa because there was no time for breakfast and some clutching files that had to be taken home and that kept them up all night. So when the boss comes over and demands more, wants a report done by 10am or gives you the next night’s files to work on, it’s the worst possible start to the morning. You hate the authority he or she has over you. You threaten,…

It all comes down to one game. After 49 gruelling matches, a rollercoaster campaign and a twist around every corner, either Stevenage or Torquay United will join Chesterfield, Bury and Wycombe in League One, writes Danny Brothers. It’s perhaps indicative that the gap between Conference and League Two is closing all the time as two sides that have both been promoted within the last two years – Torquay as Conference play-off winners in 2009 and Stevenage as champions in 2010 – prepare to meet for a place in the third tier of English football. Torquay have been there and done…

Radios are pinned to ears, text messages are quickly answered, cheers of joy and cries of sorrow are heard up and down the country, writes Danny Brothers. It can only be the final day of the season and in League Two there was still everything to play for. A title race, automatic promotion, playoffs and relegation were all to be decided and places changed with the news of one goal here or there on a frantic day of action that summed up this division this season. It was Lincoln City that were the biggest losers and suffered the ultimate disappointment…

The race to join Bury and Chesterfield in League One next season is going right to the wire, writes Danny Brothers. Either Wycombe Wanderers or Shrewsbury Town will finish third with the other facing the lottery of the playoffs. For Wanderers, after a morale boosting win over Bury on the Shakers’ own ground, it is in their hands and they will be hot favourites to seal the deal with a win over Southend in the final game of the season next week. The Chairboys have had to wrestle back the automatic promotion place after four draws had given Shrewsbury a…

Billing Monday’s game at Chesterfield as the title decider only really rang true in terms of the Spireites’ pursuit of the championship, writes Danny Brothers, but Bury, the winners of a match worthy of any division, kept hold of their ambitions of stealing the title away at the last while also confirming their place in League One next season. It was a pulsating contest at the B2Net Stadium as the Shakers proved that they’re not only capable of matching the favourites for the top spot but of overtaking them during the final two games of the season. Tom Lees has…
