Favourites for the Pit of Doom.

Who are they going to be this season. What's the odds?
Barrow? Dale?

Carlisle for me. The second club is difficult as it could be almost anyone.

As a random outside bet I’m going for Gillingham.

Swindon have made their own equivalent of our John Dempster appointment so I wouldn't think they'd be far away

Rochdale seem to be selling all their best players and Crewe haven’t made any good signings yet.

Agree with Rochdale, think Harrogate and Hartlepool won’t be far off as well.

Barrow could be the new Morecambe.

Carlisle won’t go down. They were in great form towards the end of last season when Simpson took over.

He is an accomplished coach and has taken them out of this division before after back to promotions form non-league.

I’m having a tenner in them to make the playoffs

Neither will Swindon. Harrogate won’t be far off imo.

Sutton might struggle in their 2nd season but my money would be on Dale and Harrogate. However, if the question was who you want to go down, mine would be Stevenage and Stevenage.

I did an early 1-24 and ended up with Harrogate and Rochdale too, with Colchester just above.

Swindon just landed 700k as well from the Twine deal.

I'd like to add Stevenage to that list.

Harrogate will struggle to replace the output that Jack Diamond provided them with. Wonder if Sunderland plan to give him a chance this season in the Championship or whether they’ll loan him out again. I’d absolutely love to have him here but he’s league 1 quality I think.

I get what you're both saying but if you've not got an experienced manager to use any amount of money properly then it's dangerous times. Rightly or wrongly the players here didn't respect John Dempster and I can see the same thing happening at Swindon.

If picking just 2. Barrow / Rochdale Stevenage deserve it but China Man will probably sign that many that at least 2 out of 16 will be decent.

Barrow haven’t pulled up any trees since they’ve came up and i wouldn’t be surprised if they went down.

Harrogate and rochdale good shouts

When Derby go bust, there will be only one relegation place.

I would say Dale and possibly Harrogate
I would watch Stevenage this season I think they will do well along with Sutton
Sutton I would say are our new bogey team though

Eh, Don’t think so, if any football league club goes bust, therefore there will be no relegation place for League 2 into National League.
