League One Season 25/26 Expectation [Poll]

We've loads of talented midfielders, several of whom will not play on any given week as we have too many to fit in the team. Defence and strike force I don't believe to be good enough to sustain a promotion challenge. Individually in defence, lacking numbers in attack.

This is not a complaint, I'm fully aware of the financial constraints we're working under. Just an opinion. Think we'll have some good results and good performances as we have some very good players, but the balance of both talent and numbers is out.

But if I could predict football results I'd be on a beach drinking expensive cocktails. I'm not.

Sticking with mid-table, hoping for better.

 

Sticking with 11th to 16th.

My feeling is results and points are skewed to the positive.

The front 4 hasn’t worked properly yet and we’ve benefitted from own goals deflections and shocking defending.

That luck dries up and I can see us losing a fair few as we head into winter and tougher fixtures.

The good thing, the league doesn’t look that strong again, so we might be able to benefit if everyone stays fit, the team clicks and we keep momentum going.

Big ask though.

 

See no huge reason to revise this.

We have a good team and decent cover in some areas, but a lack of depth in others.

We will win plenty of games, we will have a patchy run though when games start coming quicker, regular twice a week matches - we will inevitably have injuries/suspensions to contend with.

 

Sticking with my original vote of play off contenders.

what I do love is Conor’s focus on collegiality. That can be powerful and do exceptional things. The midfield is also very strong especially if Luca and Philo keep impressing as they have. I see Bland being central to this.

however, we now have a major risk with lack of personnel up top and I remain slightly concerned by our defensive frailties.

 

The front 4 haven’t worked yet? 11 goals, joint top goal scorers in the league.

 

Changed from 7-10 to play offs.

It is a bit hopeful tbh, if we can stay clear of too many injuries and suspensions. That said, we've January to cope with. But with the squad as it is, are IMO play offs capable.

 

I’m going with 7th to 10th with outside chance of play offs. Some strong sides to compete against with likes of Cardiff, Huddersfield, Luton, Bolton, Stockport etc.

 

I've upgraded us to 7th-10th. I said that I wanted to see which of our 4 best players we'd keep, and felt we needed 5 more players. We've kept them all and signed 3 of the 5 I felt we needed. We still lack depth, particularly up top. I think we could fall just short of the play offs once injuries and suspensions properly hit. Keep everyone fit mind, and have a good January and I don't see why we can't sustain our current position.

 

It's my 48th season and I would really love to see us win a league title at some point- relalistically I can see us finishing in play off spots again.

 

After assessing the window, I think we will finish 15th. Recruitment will let us down up top.

 

I voted 7th to 10th when the pole was created. I still think there’s a chance of that but I think I’d change my vote to top 6 now. Our midfield options are brilliant and plentiful. Our attacking lineup is great albeit maybe light centrally. Defensively I’m still not fully convinced but hopefully the other areas can make up for it.

 

Having been told that it's 'brave' to make a prediction, I predicted we'd finish top two in July and I stand by that.

 

I'll stick with my prediction.
