no. we were an average mid table side whose manager has stated doesn;t want to spend lots of transfer funds. Franchise, like it or not, are a team on the up, with the backing and the manager to get them there take them rosey glasses off

I'm happy the nation doesn't expect - we can be that sneaky team that "emerges from nowhere..."

Don't say this out loud as I'm not normally the optomistc type, my general state is Cynically trying to depress other people. I think we might be the random team who rinses out the league next season.
You get a team every 2, maybe 3, seasons, who does it. Unexpected like. I think this is the first time since about 1997 that we've fitted the right sort of random winning profile. It'll all depend if we can keep it up over Christmas.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

The Dons reportedly told some youth players that were promised contracts that they couldn't afford to pay them the £200 pound a week promised to them so they were released...

Might work out int the long run but I don't see them taking the league by storm this season. I think we're in with a shout for the play-offs if we can get a few good players in the positions where we need them. Not sure why Leicester are fancied, they're on the slide and I don't see them beign in the top 2 at all |

It's the same every year - all the pundits and bookies do when they assess the lower leagues is go "Right, who's the big sides, who's the sides reckoned to have some cash? OK, they're favourites". Which is why they're virtually always wrong

Just prior to the start of the season, me and a few mates always do predictions for the coming season. Last season I had 1. Doncaster 2. Nottm Forest and Swansea to go up through the PO's
Not bad....also had Bormuff and Gills to go down, certainly got lucky with Bormuff.
The key is to wait and see who is manager, who've they've signed, how they did last season etc.
I think before I could see us doing anything, I need to be convinced we've added some physical strength to the midfiedl and defence.
At this stage it will be very difficult to look beyond Leeds and Leicester....but Leicester don't have a manager, will they lose players etc.....so in other words it's much too early to tell.
