I know these places have publication deadlines and the like, but it feels so early to be trying to make predictions.

I think Wrexham could be disappointed missing out on the top seven😁

Judging by the headlines today with them flying to games last season, I think there will be teams next season that will take great pleasure in beating them, they may have a shock coming you get the impression they think it will be easy

Spot on. There's some tough dogged teams in League 2 who will raise their game against them.

Can’t ‘hate’ us that much if it is 14th.

14th feels about par at this date and time

Lots of hot air merchants having to justify their existence in the  off-season.

Seems like a good year to fly under the radar and possibly cause an upset.

Don't want to be favourites and have everyone gunning for you...

Yeah - I thought putting Walsall in that section was a bit strange myself.

I guess it says how far we've fallen when we are in the same category as Barrow.

So let year they had us in 1st and we finished 10th

The only logical conclusion is we are finishing 18th then :)

Making predictions about League two teams in June or July is about as useful as making predictions about next year's European championships come Christmas.

Probably less so as you'll at least have some clue about the relative squad strengths. Half the club's in this league will buy 4 to 6 players in the last fortnight before deadline day. Some will sell a couple.  It's a lottery before then frankly.

My only prediction for league 2 is the play off spots won't be decide until the last game😀
