I'm fairly sure the only reason these are done are to make me look stupid come April when Northampton storm their way to the title, but never mind. Here goes...
1) Luton - Should be able to bounce straight back up
2) Nottingham Forest - Third time's the charm
3) Doncaster - Been tipping them to do well for a couple of seasons now. I think this time round they should deliver.
4) Oldham - Should be able to pick themselves up from last years play-off defeat to challenge again.
5) Carlisle - Could suprise a few teams and make the play-offs
6) Brighton - I'm biased. Sue me
7) Milwall - Could sneak into the play-offs, but like I said, my bias is towards the Albion
8) Swansea - Strong last season, but will falter without Lee Trundle
9) Tranmere - Been threatening to do well for a few years now, but I can't see them making gains.
10) Hartlepool - Should do alright, but a second promotion would be too much to hope for.
11) Leeds - Should do alright, but the points penalty will prevent a play-off place
12) Yeovil - No repeating of last years heroics,
13) Southend - They'll feel the loss of Freddy Eastwood which will stop them getting too far up the table.
14) Port Vale - Leon Constantine impressed last season (and by that, I mean the bastard scored against us repeatedly), but he's buggered off. Mid-table mediocrity follows.
15) Crewe - Will struggle without Dario Gradi
16) Huddersfield - Often disappointing, and I can't see Peter Jackson surviving the season.
17) Gillingham - Can't see the men from Chavville, Kent making too much of a splash this season.
18) Northampton - Strugglers, but should survive.
19) Cheltenham - Managed to survive last season, can't ask for much more this time round.
20) Bristol Rovers - Survival their only goal this season.
21) Bournemouth - Didn't impress last season, can't see things improving this time. So long to the Cherries
22) Walsall - Good last season, but should struggle this time round.
23) Swindon - Straight back down for the guys from Swindon, League One should prove too much.
24) Leyton Orient - Maybe it's the fact I don't like them. Maybe it's the fact they're shit. Either way, I'm putting them last.
Well there's my two pence worth, what's everyone else's thoughts?

I'm confident we'll do well this season, but there's a hell of a lot of competition for the top spot - realistically, there's easily gonna be 6-8 challengers for much of the season, IMO. Certainly play-offs for us though, I'm hoping
