(At the end of the season, I still want to summarize the closing stages of the second division of the four major European leagues (English, West, Italy and Germany) through each round of review, and if there is time, I will also add League One, and at the end of the season, I will also pay attention to the relegation and relegation of the third and even fourth leagues.) ）
In the early morning of April 14, Beijing time, the English Second Division ended the 44th round of the competition, and the top two Stockport and Wrexham both won and locked the promotion places in advance, of which Stockport returned to the League One after 14 years, the team was still playing in the 6th division 6 years ago, and Hollywood star Reynolds's Wrexham was promoted twice.
Stockport beat Morecambe 2-0 at home, with striker Olauffe going back injured after breaking the deadlock eight minutes into the game, but centre-back Holsfeld sealed the win with a header just before half-time. Stockport's 11-game unbeaten run and six wins in a row are 12 points clear of third-placed Milton Keynes Dons with two rounds left in the league and have secured qualification for next season's League One.
Stockport were promoted in 2018 as 5th in the National League North Division (6th Division) and in 2022 as Nations League (5th Division) champions, finishing 4th in League Two last season, but failed to qualify through the play-offs, and finally got promoted this season under manager Charlie Knoel. The last time the team played in League One was back in 2009/10.
The other team that qualified for promotion early was Wrexham, who thrashed Forrester Green 6-0 at home in this round, captain Mullin scored twice, and striker Elliott Lee, right wing-back Barnett and substitute striker Mariott contributed successively. Wrexham have won three in a row and are eight points ahead of fourth-placed Milton Keynes Dons, also securing promotion ahead of schedule.
Wrexham is returning to League One after 19 years, League One is also the highest league the team has played in, the team has been playing in the 5th tier for the previous 14 seasons, but after being bought by Hollywood stars Reynolds and McAy Henry, last season was promoted as the National League champion, this time it is to complete two consecutive promotions, I don't know if it can set off a dragon frenzy again in League One next season.
The third direct promotion ticket in League Two is likely to go to Mansfield, who are five points ahead of fourth-placed Milton Keynes Dons with a game in hand, and it is only a matter of time before they are promoted. The top 3 teams in League Two are directly promoted, and the teams from 4th to 7th compete for the 4th ticket through the play-offs.
