Well done! My flatmate is a huge Wimbledon supporter, has been since decades, growing up in the UK. He streams them and rarely misses one.

I must not understand math or words. Can someone explain how these relationships work?

"greatest" & "fourth place"
"fourth tier" & "League Two"

Greatest-John’s opinion (a very good one)

English football uses a pyramid system where teams can be promoted or relegated to higher or lower leagues.

Premier League- 1st tier
Championship- 2nd Tier
League 1- 3rd Tier
League 2- 4th tier

I'm honestly really nervous about the January transfer window. The difference between Wimbledon's first half of seasons versus the latter half is glaring and it's mostly due to selling players. I know the club has to do that based on where we are in the pyramid and our budget, but still.

I don’t understand English football, does this mean they get a chance to move up the League 1?

That’s right! Top 3 finish we go up automatically, finish 4th to 7th it’s playoffs. 4th v 7th, 5th v 6th in the semi finals - 2 games, home and away, aggregate winner goes through - then the winners of those go into the final at Wembley. Winner gets promoted

We are moving forward. Squad is unified in what feels like a very healthy way. Everyone wants to help achieve the goal. My head says we can Achieve the 70pts for playoffs. My heart would love the 80 odd for autos.
