A Prediction Thread: Who Reaches League One First?

Me first, gone for the train set. The rich ones will probably do a massive, expensive overhaul during the summer and probably get it right this time. Hope I’m wrong.

 

Salford for me, don’t think the other two will get there unless everything just clicks one season. When Crawley did it they had Evans demanding the earth and spent their way there.

Both ourselves and Salford are probably two of the worst run at this level, constant turn over of managers with little philosophy, you’d expect better with all the expertise at Salford. Although they are giving Bowyer a fair crack tbf, but I think they’ve backed the wrong horse.

I’d gamble on at least two of Chesterfield, Stockport and Wrexham been in league 1 before all 4.

 

Ive gone for the Bantams.

Cannot see any of them getting promoted this season. However, I think we will do it next season. No particular reason other than a hunch

 

Well I've got the mindset that, we won't get promotion under Rupp, so probably Salford.

Rupp out

 

Gone for Salford. I think they've finally realised just throwing money around doesn't mean a thing in L2.

Yes the talent needs to be there, but I think in this league, they best teams have a squad with similar mentality and attitudes that get them over the line, more than ability. That is only created with a togetherness over time, not chopping and changing 15 of your squad every season along with a manager or two, like they have done every season in L2 so far. Their squad has a similar look to last year all be it with a few bits of added star power. I reckon it will be the same next year and click for them.

 

Crawley seems an ambitious option!

 

I'd say none of them but if I was forced to pick one it would be Salford. They have to get it right eventually, probably a year or two down the line if they get rid of Bowyer.

 

Only us out of that list will go up. Salford may if they change manager. Neither of the other two will ever go up.

wrexham/Chesterfield/stockport may go up before us, mind.

 

Salford. I think they’ll bolster their squad with Man U youth and loans. The whole idea seems to be that they are a feeder club of sorts.

 

Look at that staff list. I’d be shitting myself coming to the club tbh!

 

No Bradford Park Avenue.

 

Have you all overlooked this season's sensation?
Sutton United look like steaming on through towards automatics!

 

Was there last night Dave.. Cracking game, York won 4-2...Guinness, Saltaire Blonde on tap and a great game of football for a fiver.

Certainly be taking another game in up there. Got Man City v Sporting Lisbon CL tickets yesterday for a snip at £17.50 a ticket.

Wanna enjoy my matchday experience, so taking in a wider spectrum of football

 

It seems to happen fairly often that those coming up do well in league two.

 

Yep, still a real possibility this season that we'll end up mid table whilst 2 pub teams go up automatically. If that doesn't embarrass the powers that be at City then nothing will.

 

Bradford city in league 1 next season keep dreaming

 

Salford have really got in their own way the last couple of seasons for all their ambition. Watching the recent documentary and the impatience is clear.

It's a funny thing but I never see us being top 3, play-offs seems to be our upper limit. Harrogate before us wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 

So why have they not already done it yet.
