Given it much thought, and this is what I'm predicting. 1 Birmingham 2 Bolton -------------------------------- 3 Huddersfield 4 Rotherham 5 Peterborough 6 Barnsley -------------------------------- 7 Blackpool 8 Stockport 9 Lincoln 10 Charlton 11 Wrexham 12 Bristol Rovers 13 Wigan 14 Mansfield 15 Leyton Orient 16 Burton Albion 17 Wycombe 18 Northampton 19 Reading 20 Stevenage -------------------------------- 21 Exeter 22 Shrewsbury 23 Cambridge 24 Crawley
I have left your original position numbers in this table but this is my order. For context, if Wigan are there or thereabouts at Xmas they will revert to type and buy the 2nd slot. Nathan Jones will get Charlton up there. Lincoln dark horses, and they start on the obvious 6 points they will get from us. Blackpool could build on last season. Obviously I was tempted to interchange them with us; I just feel although we might be matchday ready, I don't think we are season ready. If the window is good - swap us and Blackpool. I've got Reading to stay up but one never knows how many points are taken off them. 1 Birmingham 13 Wigan -------------------------------- 10 Charlton 2 Bolton 7 Blackpool 9 Lincoln -------------------------------- 3 Huddersfield 6 Barnsley 5 Peterborough 4 Rotherham 8 Stockport 11 Wrexham 17 Wycombe 14 Mansfield 20 Stevenage 16 Burton Albion 12 Bristol Rovers 21 Exeter 19 Reading 15 Leyton Orient -------------------------------- 18 Northampton 22 Shrewsbury 23 Cambridge 24 Crawley
