League One 1-24 prediction 24-25

[Dan Phillips]

first 4 will not sure about Peterborough myself

I'm thinking Huddersfield myself.

Can just see a big hitter getting it horribly wrong.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Got to be Birmingham, surely. All that spending entrusted to a first time manager?

The most top heavy League One I've seen in years. Gonna be a lot of sackings this season if there's the slightest blip of form at some of the big hitters. Very interested to see how Birmingham adapt to this level especially under an unproven manager. Last seasons Top 2 in L2 will be fine, Mansfield may be dragged into the relegation dogfight but I back them to survive and Crawley will go down fighting.

Think anyone from Stevenage downwards could go down really. Whereas anyone from Stockport and above has a shot at the Top 6. Potentially the most interesting League One in years given the strength of most of the newcomers and a few big hitters staying down.

I did think that but didn't want say it then they go and smash the league.

Forgot to update my predictions but I do expect Birmingham to win the league. My main concern for them would be Alfie May, he will get them goals but I'm not sure he's a League One title winning striker. Maybe a bit counter intuitive but I feel to get Alfie to thrive you have to play in a system and style where other players don't get many goals

Plus we are definitely bringing in 1/2 more strikers in before the window closes, odd as it may seem but he may (pardon the pun) not play every game as a starter, its a long season and we only have grandad Jukey as the only other option so far.

Saturday we created nothing and i felt sorry for the bloke.

That was pretty much the story of our season. Create absolutely nothing but May will get a goal out of nothing.

I certainly hope we give him a few chances, he ran his socks off for scraps.

Not going to do a 1-24 Four spots at the top Guaranteed anyone with aspirations of going up are playing for two places.

Play-offs been scrapped this season?

Two Automatics come from those four teams....The other two will be in the play-offs with the two who make up 5/6

That’s the same as every season though, isn’t it?

“Anyone with aspirations of going up” have two automatic places to play for.

quite correct...and a further chance in the play-offs. In my opinion the three promoted clubs will come from the four i mentioned..........It is only a prediction nothing more

Really.......I was not aware of that

 

[Moomin]

No chance we finish on fewer points than we secured last season. Top 10 finish, at least.

It might be a bit early to start this thread but we now know the 24 runners and riders so I thought I would start it.

This type of fun competition has been run in the League Two section for the past couple of seasons. The idea is to list in order (1 to 24) the final order of teams in League Two for season 24/25. Points are awarded for how many places are different to your prediction, the poster with the lowest score wins. For instance if you predict Burton to will win the league but finish bottom then you score 23 points, but if you predict Burton finish bottom and they do, you score nil points.
By adding the twenty four teams points together gives you winner.

So lads and lasses put your predictions on this thread.
