League One next season

I think that last season was a fairly open league. It was often said that any team can beat anyone in the league and I'd pretty much agree with that. However, I think it's going to be even more open than that. Wrexham were unlucky, Torquay had quality whereas (from what I have seen) the teams coming up are not as decent as the teams who came up last season (Donny, Hull, Huddersfield).
Do we then expect to try and push quite high up in the table next season? I think the oppotunity is there anyway. And with a few more quality signings, as Hall was, we could really mount a challenge.

Agree with you about the teams coming up - don't see any of them as a particular threat although you always get a surprise or two.
Of those coming down, you'd expect Forest to do well but can't see the other two being up to much.
Of the rest, Bristol City should be up there (though they never quite make it).
Anyone else to be worried about? I don't think so and if we can make some more signings of the quality of todays, I'd be hopeful of seeing us push on. Mid table should be do-able.

Of the rest, you have to say that Brizzle will be very stong going forward next year. Tranmere may well also push on that extra step, although without Paul Hall they may not have a prayer!

I think Donny will be there or thereabouts. And I'd expect Whingeing Ronnie to assemble his customary collection of Neanderthals and get Oldham in or around the play-offs. Just hope we can defy the odds and maintain a sufficiently lofty position to ward off any nail-biting. The new loan restrictions will be a massive test for those on a shoe-string and I believe luck will play a big part. We're due a bit...

I reckon it's worth a punt now mate, you can probably get 50 - 1.

Crikey! Thats still plenty early enough to get a bet on. If you can tell us the exact postion then we can all look forward to making a few quid this season. I'll look forward to hearing from you.
