Title: League One predictions
Post by: NickDRFC on July 31, 2025, 09:40:35 pm
Who’s winning the league, who’s joining them in going up and who’s going down? And why?

Luton are certainties. Notable mentions to Stockport and Bolton.

Think Northampton & Rotherham will struggle.

Come on, Gaz, you're knowledgeable enough to know there are no certainties in football. Yes, they've got some real quality players in the squad, but that doesn't guarantee success.

A long way to go yet, but they looked really ordinary tonight.

They've signed Jerry Yates today, and showed why they need a player like him in the match tonight.

Very decent fee for him as well. Dropped down a league but they will be paying him good money to make up for that I am sure.

Luton have money but won’t spend big as new stadium more important than having a large wage bill. They have no momentum to build on so could be very nervous away from home . I agree with relegation thoughts .

The negativity amongst Luton fans is massive and last nights performance will not have helped. A few losses mixed with poor performances could cause that to get worse and then transfer through the players. Definitely not a certainty for promotion at present. Bolton, Stockport and Orient are more settled and in a stronger position at present. Relegation wise, Wombles, Exeter and Rotherham

 I said Birmingham were certainties last season and they got 111 points!

Orient have had a large turnover of players.

I can't see Orient doing as well as last season, but stranger things have happened. The key to success for all teams this year will be who can put a bit of a run together, as I can see many teams taking it in turns to beat each other. I don't think anyone is running away with it like last year.

Rovers in the 'strugglers' category on one of the websites I looked at - probably same on a few more - can't see 'em struggling myself.

Cardiff a class above Peterborough. Rubin Colwill looks a good player.

Only one player started for them above the age of 23. Only one above 25 for both teams too, crazy.

Fergie doing his usual thing then, sign young players, develop them and sell them on for millions.
