    i actually think this year's League one is going to be the most competitive yet, so for us a solid start and consistency from the off is an absolute must. It's hard to call the top 10 let alone top 6 imo this year

    You have the three relegated teams who will be heavy favourites for promotion, the likes of Rotherham and (hopefully) ourselves who have backed successful coaches heavily in the summer and then there's the odd "surprise package" team who come out of nowhere.

    It's going to be very tight at both ends this year I think. We've done well so far with recruitment but there can't be any resting on laurels, anyone else we bring in will need to be of equal quality to what we've done so far.

    We are 9th favourites at 5/1 on Paddy Power. 
    Last week we were at 6/1, so there has been money bet on us. 
    Above us are:
    Birmingham 5/6
    Huddersfield 13/5
    Bolton 13/5
    Rotherham 7/2
    Wrexham 7/2
    Peterborough 4/1
    Reading 9/2
    Barnsley 9/2

    I’m quite confident at the moment we will be better than Wrexham, Peterborough, Barnsley and definitely Reading unless they get taken over and sign loads of brilliant players

    Surprising to see Reading backed above us given their troubles…..

    And Wrexham, they didn’t even win league 2 and have only added a couple of players to that squad vs Stockport who won the league and have made quite a few good signings

    Their squad is weaker than last year!! I can’t see anything but another relegation battle for them

    Wrexham's odd are just following the money
  • If the season started today we'd have to have a terrible season to finish below Barnsley, Wrexham and Reading.

    The rest given how far above us they finished last season, or the fact they were in a higher division, and the transfer windows they've had I can understand why they'd be shorter odds than us.

    Barnsley have lost a lot of players, new manager, and only signed 1 player and 1 player/coach who isn't going to play week in week out.

    Wrexham have lost a couple of players and only added 2, Dobson and Brunt. They didn't even win the league last season, and were closer to finishing below Mansfield than they were to finishing above Stockport, who have had a much better window so far.

    Reading have lost a few players, have signed no one, are under an embargo where they can't even sign players on a free or a loan, and are only ever 1 missed payment away from another points deduction.

    Obviously all that being said there is plenty of time for the above to change, but right now there is no way we should be finishing below those 3.

    Peterborough have also lost a few key players, they usually recruit well to replace but I’d imagine they won’t be as strong this year either

    Based on current squads and managers I would have us in 5th behind Birmingham, Huddersfield, Bolton and Rotherham. I think we are currently better placed than Reading, Peterborough, Wrexham and Barnsley.

    Of course that is only on paper and plenty of those will under/over achieve.

    They have, and they may also lose more. I can just understand why they're shorter odds than us given how far ahead of us they were last season. But yes as of right now I don't think they'll be as strong, but would expect they would still be in the playoff conversation. Unlike the other 3, unless they make some significant signings.

    I've got a strange feeling that Bolton might fall off this season. In my opinion they were the best team last season and bottled it. Seems to be a growing unrest around Evatt among their fanbase and the pressure to gain promotion this year might cause problems if they don't hit the ground running.

    Have the same feeling. It's frankly bonkers they haven't got promoted in recent seasons with the team they have and Evatt has serious questions to answer.

    I'd agree with that analysis. The 3 relegated sides will be up there, while Bolton should be top 6 again. Barnsley and Posh need rebuilding.

    I don’t think we can complain at the business done so far the owners are certainly backing NJ. I don’t follow other clubs transfers really but surely only Birmingham can match what we are doing in terms of backing ? If we don’t have a decent season I’m not sure anyone can blame the ownership 
    Rotherham have had a good window as well. A yo-yo side anyway but with Evans now in charge they'll be tough to beat, Clarke-Harris will score goals and i'd be amazed if they're not in the promotion mix.
    If we finish above hem we'd have had a good season.
    Evans is not everybody's cup of tea but he knows this level.  I'd have liked him at Charlton, not over Jones though.

    They’ll be three teams promoted. We just need to be one of them. Couple more signings of the quality we’ve just had and I think we can achieve that.
    Got this overwhelming fear that we'll be playing Wrexham in the Play Off Final 
    He scores the winning penalty then runs into the director's box and two finger salutes Scott.

    They are the Man United of North Wales.

    Reading being better backed than us without signing a single player and having a few leave is absolutely crazy and just shows how the betting doesn't always follow reality

    Lets face it, that's a pretty low bar ain't it...🤦‍♂️

    Well apparently Dobson shit now and Coventry is levels above him according to some on here now. 🤪
    Dobson is the new Semedo.  We’ve lost our three best players and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that Hector was in our top 8.

    Well he's not shit but he's not going to be elevating Wrexham up the table on his own. They have the same issue that we did - Dobson is excellent at what he does but he's a really good player if you are trying not to lose games but not so much if you're looking at match-winners. He's the platform you build off and they've not done much building yet.

    Bolton are going to lose a couple of their stars from what I've been hearing. Santos, Morley and Charles have all been asked about
