League One 1-24 prediction comp 2025-26

[masi51]

Pretty much just listed everyone in budget order.

I had you down at 22nd second week of June......Would have you about 10th now just because of Wellens factor
We are desperate for two upfront Dalby out until mid-August and Adeboyejo until Christmas
All we currently have for the opening game away to Stockport is a 18 year old kid who is a unit but raw and needs a season or two in the national league.
Unless we bring in two forwards this Window i expect us to finish around the play-offs
We bring a decent forward in i fancy us to push for the top two......We are head and shoulders better than last season

After week one in the transfer window some teams are certainly going for it and interestingly the three play-off teams from the season just gone are all weaker...The three relegated teams have as yet not had the clear out you may expect. The four teams that have come up have up to now lost their main players from last season though i have it on good authority we have signed Teddy Sharman Lowe on loan from Chelsea who was Doncaster number one last season.


These are my predictions after the first transfer window....They will certainly change before August,

1st Luton
2nd Huddersfield
3rd Plymouth
4th Bolton
5th Cardiff
6th Blackpool






21stExeter
22ndOrient
23rdPeterborough
24th Wimbledon

Wimbledon will not attract good enough players to compete. Peterborough are on a downward path and keep selling their best players and are weaker year on year. Orient wont be there come August if they have the same manager, but today their squad is small and needs a re-build. Exeter are slightly weaker but know how to survive and shithouse enough to stay above the bottom four all season.
As i say these are my predictions if the season was starting Saturday

Orient 22nd?

Obviously I'm biased but if we finish bottom 4 I will genuinely donate £50 to a charity of your choosing.

Feel free to save this post and remind me next summer!

This post was written on the 7th of June on at that Date all your loan players had gone back..........You would have to had to play six kids
It also states i do not expect you to be their come August.

If i was doing the Championship on that date i would have had Sheff Wed 10th...... Now i would have them bottom

Today i may not have Bolton in the top six but if we sign a proven forward that would change.

This is going to be badly wrong so if I have placed you at the bottom then congratulations on your now inevitable playoff campaign.

1. Huddersfield
2. Blackpool
3. Cardiff
4. Bolton
5. Luton
6. Reading
7. Wycombe
8. Stockport
9. Plymouth
10. Orient
11. Wigan
12. Stevenage
13. Lincoln
14. Barnsley
15. Bradford
16. Rotherham
17. Vale
18. Doncaster
19. Mansfield
20. Burton (after starting with no wins in the first fifteen like usual)
21. Peterborough*
22. Exeter
23. Northampton
24. Wimbledon

*The only reason I’ve put Peterborough in the bottom four is based on nothing other than they signed Okagbue from Walsall the other day and he is quite probably the most useless excuse for a footballer I’ve ever seen. We beat them at the Bescot end of last season and honestly I had him down as our MOTM.

Mansfield to be relegated theres a few on here on recreational tablets methinks

Surely Cardiff don't keep Salech & Robinson? That'd be as good an attack as there's been at this level.

Wintle, Willock, Robertson, and Colwill would also be a seriously good midfield.

you said the exact same thing last year but with Huddersfield players.....That never ended well

Somebody has to be. Most people have us to be relegated, based on ot a lot really.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Cardiff are an absolute mess. They were also totally awful last year and easily the worst of the three relegated sides by a margin.

I honestly don’t see how some can put Luton 5th and 6th with (a) the squad as it currently stands and (b) the spending power. Yes, we have injuries and players have left, but there is still considerable talent in that squad. We should never have been relegated with the players at the club’s disposal - a lot of it was mentality. In the last 15 games before WBA, Luton actually had top 6 form - it’s just the others in/around the bottom kept winning too!

As I’ve said before, having a projected £30m budget will be a help at this level as there is a gap up to the league above.

I have you down to be relegated each year and i am always glad you survive......Would be no fun without Exeter

Your squad has a soft underbelly and are used to losing.......Who is the Bastard who will roll his sleeves up on a cold blustery January night at Mansfield
Prima Donnas on 20k a week who think they are better than they are .....Tom Lockyer as much stated this and unless you address this you will stagnate in this league.

Does not matter if you have a budget of 100m you can only have a squad of 23 and unless you offload these players you cannot bring hungry younger players in
You are correct it is a mentality, it is hard to motivate millionaires playing in the EFL
Birmingham more or less re-built

You may well walk the league but again you may finish out of the play-offs........I thought Birmingham would walk the league last year not sure about you this season

Don't think I did as Salech and Robinson didn't play for them.

I always predict Bolton to be promoted and you always let me down wouldn't be the same without you though

 

[Spanishstag]

Personally think we will be solid mid table at least ,might even flirt with the play offs for a while but ultimately mid league cup winners

As much as I like you guys, I just don't see it. You were awful in the 2nd half of last season and from our own experience, it's difficult to turn that around. Signings have been solid but unspectacular.

You won't go down but I'd be absolutely amazed if you're anywhere near top half. You'll be in with us, Bradford, Donny etc. Playing for 14th to 20th.
