“Wycombe Wanderers”.
The team at the beginning of the century played in the semi-finals of both cup tournaments. But at the same time, it had traditionally modest results in the championships. The breakthrough came in 2020, when, after winning the playoffs, the Blues made it to the Championship, for the first time in history. But the debutant was not enough for long, and last season brought only tenth place in Ligue 1.
Now there are new Kazakh investors in the project. But the main successes are associated with the League Cup - there consistently knocked out “Northampton” and “Swansea”, and with both played away. At the same time in the new cycle of League 1 started with 2-3 defeats to Wrexham and Birmingham, and only then beat Rothenham 2-0 at home. In the last round they were 2-2 with Blackpool.
“Mansfield Town
The club was founded later than its rival, but also at the end of the century before last. Its achievements are quite modest, and a dozen years ago the team played at all at the semi-amateur level of the Conference. Now it is a newcomer to League 1 - last season it managed to take third place in League Two, but then Cluff's boys won the playoffs.
“Stags” - a natural outsider of the current, higher for themselves, division. But they started with a win, and an away win at that - it seems Barnsley underestimated their opponent and lost to them 1-2 at home. But then there was a League Cup exit at the hands of Bolton (in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 away win), and in the Championship 3-3 at home to Burton and 1-4 away to Lincoln City. Against such a backdrop, 1-1 with Stockport is already quite a success.
