Predictions 25-26

[gazan]

Okay, I suspect I'm on a hiding to nothing here but I'm going to ask anyway. What are your predictions for the coming season? No fee, no prize, no commitment, just a bit of light fun!
We've seen enough now to get an idea how the season pans out, though in the Alex's case it may be said that they are predictably unpredictable.
So
Champions: MK Dons
Promoted: Swindon, Chesterfield, Grimsby
Alex: 8th
Relegated: Accrington, Newport.
Alex Leading scorer: March
Player of Season: Hutchinson
Breakthrough: Agius
Most promising youngster: Armstrong

Well? What do you think?

Well? What do you think?

I think Swindon will be champions. They looked very good. Promotion may well see Chesterfield and MK go up. The other spot could go to Gillingham.
I agree about the Alex finishing 8th although play offs not beyond us. But that relies on the season not crumbling in January. Accrington have a good chance of dropping and I wouldn't rule Shrewsbury out.

Player of the season March
Breakthrough player Lunt
Most promising youngster Moore

Anyone else? Go on, have a go!

[MeForCrewe]

Slightly early to predict maybe but I'll have a go.
Champs, Swindon.
Automatics, MK Don's and Grimsby.
4-7, Gillingham, Walsall, Crewe and Notts County.
Relegated, Accrington and Newport.
Player of the season, Hutchinson.
Breakthrough player of the season, Lunt.
Most promising youngster, Armstrong. If not this season definitely the next.

[ShropshireAlex]

I do think this is VERY early, as managers always say, takes 10 games to see where you are and we've had 7, so who knows what I'll think at Christmas.
At this stage Swindon could well end up top, automatics Walsall and Chesterfield, play offs Gillingham, Grimsby Franchise FC and Crewe (surely we'll last a season this time)
Relegated Accrington and Newport
Player of the season, O'Reilly
Breakthrough Lunt
Youngster Moore

[gazan]

It is early but more than 1/7th of the season has already gone!!!!!. When contrasting the first 4 games with the last 2 for the Alex, who knows which Crewe Alex will be around all season! So difficult to predict anyway but who says things have to be easy😉.

[gazan]

Thing is I'm going away for 3 weeks after Barnet so thought I'd get it going.

[LordK]

I did a pre season one

Oldham, , Walsall, MK Dons, Swindon (dark horse), Bristol Rovers, Gillingham, Cambridge United and Notts County. Crewe I am afraid were 9th....

So Swindon Champions
Walsall, Gillingham
Then Cambridge win at Wembley

Down Accrington and yes I am afraid Newport.

Player of the season - March
Breakthrough - Lunt
Youngster - No ide

[Harlzed]

Champions - Walsall
Promoted - Gillingham and Swindon (current top three). Salford might just be a surprise package but the two I mention I go for on spending power in January if they?re doing well.
Relegated - Accrington and Oldham
Player of the season - O Reilly
Top scorer - March
Breakthrough - Lunt but him and Agius close for young player of the season. I would also like to think Booth would be up there but that?s a question mark, I hope so.
Youngster - Outside of the above three which to me are all youngsters then I?m not sure anyone is going to get into the side with the options we currently have.

[Harlzed]

On Bogle, have I missed it or is there still no word?

[Teammoo]

Champions - MK
Promoted - Walsall and Grimsby
P/O - Crewe, Gillingham, Fleetwood and Chesterfield
Relegated- Accrington and Cheltenham
Player of the season - O'Reilly
Top Scorer - March
Breakthrough - Lunt
Youngster - (Depends on definiton- Moore or Lunt)
Most unappreciated player- Billo

Thought i would add that last one in as Billo seems to attract moans(no worse than that; but IMO deserves some credit).

[gazan]

Tend to agree about Billington.

[ShropshireAlex]

On Bogle, have I missed it or is there still no word?

After the Forum somebody who was there (not me) posted on here that when asked they said he had returned to training. No word since then.

[gazan]

Well, we've played 11 games now. Great August, crap September, possibly a mixed October? Anyone want to change their predictions? What about those of you who say they like to give it a while. The league is beginning to take shape so let's see some people put their reputations (&#128521 on the line.
Come and have a go if you think you're clairvoyant enough! (doesn't scan)
