A Horse With No Name Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 On what do you base that you are Play Off contenders? Sorry but all you have done is like everybody else-played a few friendlies and have a lot of new and mostly unproven players. In Friendlies you are allowed by your opponents to pass a ball and also will not face the blood and thunder of League 1 football. I am sure you will find that you won't be given time to play your "nice to the eye" passing football particlarly away from home. I would say that you will be mid table maybe pushing towards the top seven but also that you will still lose a couple of players before the transfer deadline. You still have to overcome the losing feeling of last season and couple of good friendly results don't put that right. The test will be if things don't go as well as some of you think it will and how you react if you go behind. The truth is you probably had a better team at the start of last season than you have now and can SOD motivate if things do go badly. Well we shall soon see when the REAL action starts. What on earth do you know about League 1 football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 They will be very strong. I think they will be there or there abouts for automatic promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancinDannyD Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What on earth do you know about League 1 football? More than you? Rovers were only there a couple of years back. I'm sure friendlygas could ask you the very same question right back at you ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semblar Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 What on earth do you know about League 1 football? Not the positions eligible for the playoffs, that's for sure! I would say that you will be mid table maybe pushing towards the top seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Oldham could be a good outside bet this year. Made some good signings over the summer. Defense is perhaps a little weaker, but they're set to be able to score goals I think. Very difficulty to make predictions outside of the Premiership, most teams are capable of stringing together a few wins. There could very well be 10+ teams still in the hunt for promotion from L1 as we approach the season close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Fred Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 With a fine 3-2 win against a very strong Cardiff team last night, the Bees are my tip to win the league....them along with Peterborough would be a likely top two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 ...them along with Peterborough would be a likely top two.. If your so certain babs, I'd whack some big money down... Rarely do play off final losers bounce back stronger the following year so I'll have to disagree with you if I may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Having just signed Ben nugent, they will be strong at the back and with Donaldson and grigg up front, they will definately be a force. Heard burnley may be looking at Donaldson to replace Austin. Hope it's true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
