    SO - Who could it possibly be ?

    Last year it was Shrewsbury who had a good innings - But just fell short.

    I think Peterborough could well take the title.

    But slightly lower down, I think LUTON, following a slow start, could surprise us all.
    Who knows - Maybe even City ? :D

    Wouldn't surprise me if Plymouth gave it a good go.

    I would call Plymouth, or Peterborough dark horses. I think it could be Accrington

    Not too sure about Peterborough Chris, on paper yes but 14 or so signings so far, Marriott going to Derby for an undisclosed amount yesterday (NO surprise there but, it will keep the club going for another year minimum ) I guess all the new signings know of Evans and his reputation so it could pay dividends. If they aren’t there or thereabouts half way through, with no likelihood of progressing he’s a goner. What I don’t get is the Sunderland “ will walk it” twaddle!

    Peterboro' a 'shot in the dark', Kev. They have money and time to spend it in ! :)
    But I agree - I've seen no evidence Sunderland will walk it. Another Sheff Utd ? 5+ years in the 'wilderness' ? ;)

    With the atmosphere - It would still not be a poor experience if City lost. ;)

    Leaving aside the three relegated teams who I don't regard as dark horses, I'll plump for Portsmouth or an even darker horse, Coventry.

    With what Peterborough have spent since January I wouldn’t call them a dark horse l.. They should be favourites to go up! Especially with Evans in charge
