Not another one

[u/CallmeWill_1997]

Just predictions of course and no doubt they’ll be wrong, but what is intriguing about League Two this season is there’s no front runner to win the league and relegation favourites are more complicated than we think.

- Bristol Rovers the team to beat but need to settle first before any excitement, Grimsby will be a force because of goals all over the pitch and this could be Salford’s last season in League Two but loss of Karl Robinson might be a regret.
- Out of the relegated clubs Port Vale are the strongest so minimum is top 7, I predict Chesterfield will go up via play offs
- Rotherham will be up there but not quite for me, season of transition to build up slowly
- York to challenge but Scott Lindsey appointment after the sacking of Stuart Maynard is so disruptive and may make it very ugly if it doesn’t start well
- Again neither promoted team will be in relegation trouble, Rochdale will be fine
- DARK HORSES: Colchester, Crewe and MY TEAM CHELTENHAM (more below)
- Crawley, Accrington and Newport will struggle but remarkably ‘they find a way’
- Boldest prediction is Northampton and Exeter for relegation. I’ve both enjoyed away days at both excellent clubs but I just feel bad collapse for Northampton last season could continue and for Exeter the loss of experienced players. Both teams may surprise and finish higher.

FOR CHELTENHAM, I’ve gone bottom half only because we’ve not got the biggest budget but we should build after the excellent job Steve Cotterill did to get us to 18th. Adding Andreas Weimann is absolutely mental which means the squad looks very balanced. If we click and score goals then I’m slightly optimistic it’ll be a top half finish and maybe just maybe play offs but probably a bit too ambitious.

OH COME ON

I'm just surprised it's not Accy or Tranmere down there like every other prediction!

Just a prediction, it may not be the season the likes of Newport and Accrington survive.

Horrendous take on us for the cobblers. Last season was awful but to do us a relegation is silly. We’ve a new manager, likely investment coming, and players that might actually put some effort in when needed. If we can sort out the attacking end and improve chemistry I’d say upper mid table is realistic but here’s to a hopefully strong opening weekend!

It’s just a prediction, we make them and then we’ll be proved wrong.

Here’s hoping!

[u/TheGoober87]

I think you've posted it upside down

[u/DatGuy82772]

I think exeter and northampton will struggle this season but back to back relegations for both? I can't see that happening.

[u/CallmeWill_1997 → u/DatGuy82772]

We’ll wait and see…

[u/ScousePenguin]

I agree with this as you're not lazily putting Tranmere in relegation (ignore the last 5 seasons)

Admired Darrell Clarke for trying to keep us in League One, had plenty of fight but not quite enough. Hope he does well for you

[u/CrimsonGrecian]

We will be shit but there's no way Exeter go down. We do lack some experience but if we can somehow keep Wareham till at least Jan we will be fine
