Us, Blades, Bradford
Blackpool, Colchester, Shrewsbury, Oldham

1) 9th

I can't find 8 teams better than us on paper. Swindon and Chesterfield are a lot weaker this season. Barnsley are 50/50. Big turn around at Wigan. People talking about Bury and Scunthorpe but reading between the lines I think they've both spent money they don't have.

[The Red Baron]

Fifth
Andy Williams
Liam Mandeville or Mitchell Lund.
Sheffield United and Wigan, plus Rovers via the play offs.
Port Vale, Blackpool, Colchester, Shrewsbury.

I agree, if my prediction was based on just the players available then I think we are definitely in the top 6. However although I think PD recruits well I'm not sure he as yet has the tactical ability to get us up there.

4.   Peterborough 

Not sure about that one. Time will tell. They had a distinct lack of goals last season. To remedy that they've signed two strikers who were playing non-league football least season (Joe Gormley from Cliftonville and Lee Angol who was playing at Boreham Wood). It's always a big gamble with that kind of approach so I don't quite understand how anyone can predict them to go up with any kind of confidence.

I'm getting worried now, lowest prediction is 9th. We can't all be this positive surely?

Pre-season optimism,its a terrible disease mate.
Ask us to do this again at 5pm Saturday!

Are Colchester really that bad, and Chaplow young player of the year. I know we've got one or two oldies in the squad but hmmm ?

[ZiggerZagger]

Could be a good season, or a disaster. Depends on how PD performs tactically and whether he can refrain from abusing the officials.

1) 1st 
2) Williams. Or that rather large foreign chap in the nets
3) Middleton.
4) Doncaster Rovers, Bradford City, Sheff Utd.
5) Crewe, Colchester, Port Vale, Blackpool.

I backed us at 14-1, for a top two place just to be on the safe side. I said last season we would finish in the bottom 10. This season I believe we could actually win it. We've got a striker who knows where the net is, so take a bit of pressure of Tyson. A goalkeeper who not only commands it but backs it up with his saves. Plus some fine midfielder players fighting to get into the starting 11. Something that was missing last year...... Hunger.
