    We are only a few hours away from the new season kicking off, does anyone want to have a go at predicting the final league table?

    I'm conflicted when it comes to City. On paper I don't think the squad as it stands is good enough to finish in the automatic promotion places, but I have confidence in our manager and I trust that if we are pushing for promotion come January then we will do what is necessary to push for a top three finish.

    1 Newport County
    2 Tranmere Rovers
    3 Bradford City
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    4 Mansfield
    5 Forest Green Rovers
    6 Salford
    7 Leyton Orient
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8 Carlisle United
    9 Bristol Rovers
    10 Port Vale
    11 Exeter City
    12 Stevenage
    13 Walsall
    14 Colchester United
    15 Northampton Town
    16 Harrogate Town
    17 Crawley
    18 Rochdale
    19 Barrow
    20 Sutton United
    21 Swindon Town
    22 Oldham Athletic
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    23 Hartlepool United
    24 Scunthorpe United

    No chance! Far too early and I'm not going to tempt fate.

    There's a comprehensive forecast on the blog to which I posted a link in the General Football forum.

    There are probably ten teams in this division who might win the league or finish anywhere in the top ten.

    I don't think you can guess until you see which teams are scoring and which are keeping clean sheets.

    Top 10 for us but too much to consider to say exactly where in the top 10.

    I think you might be right there. Almost certainly there will be 10 teams in the top 10. One of them might win it. :p
    Seriously though, my gut feeling is top 3.

    Good one!

    It's been over 20 years since Bradford finished top 3 in any league though which puts me off a bit at this point.

    Just stop yourselves! It's early days and we look to have a good squad with a good manager. But L2 is a marathon. My hopes are we'll end up in the automatics. But heck folks, it's the start of August. Injuries, suspensions, potential Covid situations for us and for opponents, even the bookies are flip flopping from day to day about favorites. I would SO love us to be there, but it's madness to predict right now, due to the unstable unpredictability of what's happening around us. Harrogate Town have had their next three games postponed because of Covid.

    Just a bit of fun isn’t it. Shows which teams forum members rate and expect to be up there in the top three or playoffs and who could struggle.

    don’t think anyone expects to nail the 1-24 bang on.
