  • League Two Silly Season is HERE

    Happy New Year and welcome back to the League Two Lowdown! 🎆

    We are back for our first preview show of 2026, and the January Transfer Window has already exploded. Jack Mitchelton, Harry Gunn, and Luke Payne dive straight into the madness, starting with the eye-watering fee Salford City have agreed for Fleetwood's Ryan Graydon. Is £600k for a League Two player madness or genius?
    Plus, Steve Evans has wasted no time at Bristol Rovers, recalling five loan players—including Isaac Hutchinson—leaving Cheltenham Town in a difficult spot. We break down the winners and losers of the window so far.
    We also discuss Paul Gallagher’s appointment at Barrow, the latest transfer rumours involving Chesterfield and MK Dons, and give our predictions for the upcoming League Two fixtures and FA Cup ties.

  • Is This the WORST League Two Ever?!

    It’s the final preview show of the year! Join Jordan Richards and Luke Payne on the League Two Lowdown as we react to the massive managerial news at Bristol Rovers and look ahead to a packed Christmas schedule.
    First on the agenda: The return of Steve Evans! We break down his appointment at the Memorial Stadium following Daryl Clarke's departure. Is Evans the motivator needed to save the Gas from the drop? We also discuss the ongoing managerial vacancy at Barrow following Andy Wing's exit and what direction the Bluebirds might take next.
    We also dive into the "Weakest League Two ever" debate—is the quality dropping, or is it just tighter than ever? Plus, we analyze which teams are under the most pressure to pick up points over the festive period, including Grimsby Town, Newport County, and Harrogate.
    Finally, we run through our predictions for every single game this weekend, including the Friday night lights fixtures and the massive top-of-the-table clash between Notts County and Walsall.

  • League Two Chaos: 7-Goal THRILLER, Rovers Meltdown Sacking, Holloway Genius & Gills Bottle It!

    ANDY WHING SACKED last week... and now DARRELL CLARKE SACKED! 🚨 The Memorial Stadium has turned toxic as Bristol Rovers lose their 10th game in a row—a new club record. Harry and Luke break down the inevitable decision, the fan protests, and whether anyone can save the Gas from a double relegation.
    Plus, we review the absolute chaos at Salford City where a 4-3 thriller left Colchester stunned, Gillingham throwing away a 2-0 lead against a managerless Barrow, and Crewe Alexandra dismantling Tranmere.
    We also discuss if Newport County are officially "dead and buried" at the bottom of the table and if Walsall's slip-up opens the door for the chasing pack.
