(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 17, Beijing time, the English Second Division played 5 make-up matches, Mansfield City defeated Accrington 2-1, and returned to the third division after 21 years, and the first relegated team has also been produced, Frost Green was relegated at the bottom, and returned to their fifth division after two consecutive relegations.
Stockport County and Wrexham both locked up their tickets for direct promotion at the weekend, and on Tuesday, Mansfield City, who had a game in hand, were not off the chain either, with the 38-year-old Irish midfielder Quinn taking the lead in setting up striker Maris to break the deadlock from a corner and then scoring the second-half winner.
With a 2-1 win, Mansfield City are level on points with Wrexham and eight points clear of fourth-placed Milton Keynes Dons with two games remaining. The team is headed by former England international striker Nigel Clough, who took over the coaching of Mansfield City in 2020 and took the team from 16th to 2nd in one step at a time. And his father is Nottingham Forest legend Brian Clough.
Mansfield City are a 127-year-old veteran but have played in the lower divisions, most badly in the fifth division, and last in the third division in 2002-03. This return is also a great happiness for this small town team.
A third promoted team was formed, and the first relegated team was also released, with third-to-last Colchester beating Grimsby at home, giving the team eight points ahead of bottom-placed Frost Green, who were relegated two rounds earlier, with a game in hand.
Frost Green, who were relegated from bottom of League One last season and bottom of League Two this season, are back in their familiar national league for 2024-25 after a long period of play in the fifth tier.
The remaining suspense in League Two is a place in the promotion play-offs and a second relegated team, in terms of promotion play-offs, Milton Keynes in fourth place has already secured a place in advance, and Crewe in fifth is not a big problem, and the remaining two places will be between Barrow in sixth, Crowley in seventh, Walchal in eighth and Doncaster in ninth place.
