League 1:
The two teams in League 1 are continuing to play well and above expectations, and are both comfortably in mid-table, with the Gillingham home ground being turned into a fortress.
League 2:
The biggest story in League 2 has been the rise of Bradford, who have gone on an incredible run of form with manager
Matt Cole being labelled as a genius by some fans. They are already in the automatic promotion and there is even talk of a title challenge, and if they can keep up this form, who knows? Crawley are lurking just outside the playoffs, on goal difference behind Port Vale. Crawley weren't expected to do much at the start of the season, and a play-off place would be an incredible achievement for the club. Down at the other end, Bury have been very disappointing so far this season, and there are rumours that manager
Mark Fletcher might not be offered a new contract for next season. Accrington and Morecambe have also been disappointing, especially the latter, with manager
Nick Phipps under a growing amount of pressure and
Damien Worrall has already been installed as the favourite to replace him if he gets fired.
Blue Square Premier League:
The only club in here are Darlington, who are casting nervous glances behind them and are in serious threat of relegation, with manager
James Beadle looking unable to turn the tide.
