Orbital Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 As always pre-season a feeling of optimism is in the air going into the new campaign. Looking at our recent purchases it would not be unreasonable to think that the play-offs would be a target for us this year, but who will be our rivals? Wolves will obviously be strong, Peterborough will be there or there abouts, but who else? With Sheffield United about to get £6 million from West Ham as the final instalment of their relegation civil claim you would expect them to put some of that to good use. Will Swindon be able to sustain their form? Who will be the dark horses? It should be an interesting season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wolves, Sheff Utd, MK Dons and Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wolves and Peterborough will be strong. I also think Brentford will be there or thereabouts again. Sheffield United should be too 6 also and Preston should do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wolves, Posh, MK Dons, Notts County, Walsall, Gillingham, Preston, Bradford, Brentford.....all of those will fancy their chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wolves, Posh, Brentford. I think Swindon have taken a step back, Walsall are set to lose their best players, and MK Dons were sliding the wrong way towards the end of last season.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Many teams can go up from this league. Stevenage could be up there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Many teams can go up from this league. Stevenage could be up there too They are a decent team who play decent football good shout for dark horses imo Any way I don't think we should use the p word until after the season has started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysbelieve Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 wolves, mk dons, bradford, preston, brentford, port vale, coventry, notts county, gillingham, posh, sheff united and stevenage. any of these 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if Swindon got relegated. One of my best mate's is a Swindon fan....he's resigned himself to it already As for promo I would say Peterborough are my favs, Sheff Utd have to get out of here at some point, Wolves shouldn't be too far away Dark horses - Leyton Orient, they've signed some useful players Just had a look at the odds for various divisions - Forest Green are 4/1 favs for the Conference with paddy power. The little club on the hill.....what a turnaround up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 A lot of investment there though Woodsy, I went to a couple of games last season, very enjoyable evenings they were too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a lot of investment Chesh, but invested really well too Just seems odd seeing them out in front of clubs like Luton, Wrexham, Grimsby etc. Good luck to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little club on the hill.....what a turnaround up there A lot of investment there though Woodsy, I went to a couple of games last season, very enjoyable evenings they were too. Sadly I and a couple of other locals i know are put off by the ticket prices. £14 for Conference football is just a bit steep for me otherwise i'd pop along when City aren't home.

For not much more than that you can watch a Scottish division 3 team with such stars as Richard 'Baresi' Foster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent Pepper Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think P'bro will do well, especially if they hold on to Gayle. Even after losing Boyd they had a decent run towards the end of the season & won't have the expectation we & Wolves will have. Plus going to London Road will hardly make the opposition raise their game. They also have recent experience of this division & how to get out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep2012 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 alright alright, I was just testing you lot, well done for noticing the extra team I popped in... Woodsy, I think we need a few players to challenge, especially in midfield.... I do trust Mr Ward to get it right though.. COYBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Outside of who's been mentioned Tranmere for me will either be up there again or struggle, can't see there being a middle ground. Had a cheeky punt on Crewe at 33/1 because you really do never know how well they will perform even after selling young talent, we are all aware of the conveyor belt of young players making the step up to the first team. For me it's only a matter of time before they shock everyone; they are ready built for the new football finance world. I also always back Preston; Grayson's turning round what Graham Westley failed with at deepdale and they had hit some pretty good form 65-85% of the way through the season. They have the potential to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
