With just one game to go before 2025 is wrapped up, fans up and down football land will be starting to wonder which division they will be in come next season. Some, like Coventry and maybe Cardiff, will be confident the omens look good, yet for Sheffield Wednesday and maybe Port Vale or Newport County they are, let us say, less bright. But fear not stragglers and take stock leaders because football has a habit of keeping you on your toes just when you were are reaching for the slippers. So as we prepare to bid farewell to the first half of the season, it is with one incontestable fact echoing and that is that nothing, apart from the year itself, is done and dusted yet.
