Quoted from Mariner_09


Surely Wrexham will finally get their act together this season. They’re the only massive moneybags left in that league. Although below them with Notts making eye catching signings, Chesterfield with Tshimanga fit again, Southend likely to have worked out what they’re doing it isn’t going to be any easier to get out of that league this coming season. Looking at it dispassionately, it’s a good job we went up when we did.


I agree. I think next season Wrexham, Notts, Chesterfield and maybe even Solihull and also Southend will be a bit stronger than last this coming season and for one team to be as good as evens in a 24 team league is a bit mad, in my view anyway.

I suspect it will a straight fight between Wrexham and Chesterfield (assuming Tshimanga is fit) for top spot.

I am just bloody glad we are out of it.

I can see and hope Wrexham will be winners by a fair few points (I hope as they're in my lucky 15 also!)

Makes little sense for us to be such long odds compared to Stockport.


They finished on 94 points whereas we finished on 77. Those odds seem reasonable to me.

This is EXACTLY how I see it too. Even the Southend thing. I see them as getting better and ultimately at some point getting back into the EFL, although possibly not yet. What i do NOT see, is Oldham or Sands View United challenging.

Not bothered about non league clubs, jumper for goalposts. Big fan of one up one down tops, re election where the relegated club is the only turkey voting for Christmas seems fair. Or just bin em off.

If you look at our form over the last 20 games though, we were averaging 2.05 points per game, which would have given us 90 points in the full season. So the team we finished with was closer to them in form terms than the table suggests, plus we also beat the 5th, 3rd and 2nd placed teams in the play offs. So maybe we are a little undervalued.

True. That squad doesn't exist now though as we have lost some of them - smith back to dull (probably replaced with better though in maher). Raihky and sousa as squad players have been lost. Fox is possibky the most important loss. Or maybe its our absolutely brilliant plan b pairing of Abrahams and especially mani (not that they were brilliant as individuals but as a plan b they were the best we've had in ages and transformed our ability to play without mcatee). We may have picked up a better version of one of them in danilo hopefully but that is yet to be seen.
