My prediction is that Town will do better than most of you think.

Luton (champions), Mansfield, Lincoln

Relegated

Newport and Crawley

Town - 20th. Ageing defence, we'll miss Osbourne, won't score enough goals and will struggle badly.

If we manage to get at least one decent striker in I think we could finish top 8. If not lower half.

Mansfield, Lincoln, Luton and Chesterfield will do well

Newport and Cheltenham down

Mansfield Luton for automatic and Yeovil & Crawley for relegation.

No idea how Town will go as I fear a lack of goals at present

With the preface that Town don't have a complete squad yet (as probably applies to quite a few other clubs), I probably fancy us to finish roughly in line with what I presume our relative budget is in this league, ie somewhere between 12th - 18th.

I won't pretend to predict other places with such precision based on little more than guesswork as lots of others have done.

In a way, I'll be happy if we can keep out of a relegation campaign, but really, play off contention is a must for a club this size. Without signing the 2 or 3 quality players we currently lack, I can't see us having enough for a top six campaign.

Great piece in the Sunday Times today by Rod Liddle
"And league 2? Rehabilitation for those former habituees of the top division Luton, Coventry and Swindon perhaps, but challenged by a buoyant Mansfield Town. But how about April 14 2018 to decide relegation between Cheltenham and the irritating vegan hippies of FGR. Hopefully it will be a draw and they'll both go down. It's a county for rugby Gloucestershire"
Well said sir.

When did Rod Liddle become a football journalist?

He's not but he's a former liberal leftie who like most converts has to shout louder to demonstrate his adherence to the new cause. So the opportunity to have a dig at pony-tailed vegans is too good to miss for him.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
