We’re almost at the end of the month, which means it’s just about time to check in on the Championship and what the next month has in store for Tottenham (hopefully unrelated to the Championship.). But before that, let’s take a look at the next three levels in the English football pyramid:

EFL League One

I know Wrexham are the darlings of the EFL right now with their back-to-back-to-back promotion still in play, but Leyton Orient is the story you should be most invested in. For starters, their badge is killer. Second, of course, is that connection to Spurs.

And this is Jamie Donley, currently on loan at the club. He’s made a really good impression at the club so far, and here’s to hoping he helps push them further into the playoff spots.

Top six:

Bottom four:

EFL League Two

I’m just here for AFC Wimbledon. Would love to see this club get promoted. I had actually convinced a friend of mine to attend one of their games when he visited London earlier this month (Wimbledon won 2-0).

Top seven:

Bottom two:

National League

Look at that - North London’s very own Barnet are top of the league! They are in a three-horse race with Forest Green and York City for title and automatic promotion. The other two will be consigned to the playoffs.
