The 1 to 24 prediction competition

[The Terminator]

1. Northampton Town
2. Bradford City
3. Mansfield Town
--------------------------------------------
4. Tranmere Rovers
5. Gillingham - Harris is a good manager, should make them alot better.
6. Salford City - No idea how it will go with a rookie manager, but squad still looks good for League 2.
7. Stockport County - Won't go up this season, but probably will next season.
--------------------------------------------
8. Leyton Orient
9. Doncaster Rovers
10. AFC Wimbledon
11. Newport County
12. Sutton United - Not as strong as last year and lost key players.
13. Crawley - Literally role a dice.
14. Swindon Town - No idea really due to signing alot of young unproven players.
15. Stevenage
16. Colchester United
17. Rochdale
18. Grimsby Town
19. Barrow
20. Walsall
21. Carlisle United
22. Harrogate Town
--------------------------------------------
23. Hartlepool United
24. Crewe Alexandra

For the first time in a long time, its too hard to predict who will go down.

I only went for Crewe as they have a young side and rookie manager and Hartlepool have signed alot of young unproven players from Scotland - It literally could be any of us.

Can't be bothered to go through the whole division. But watching teams from last season when we perked up I cannot see further from Mansfield & Northampton for promotion. And Harrogate were awful at ours . Hopefully ( don't know his name ) they have replaced that forward that looked like a sunday league player. ( apologies to sunday league players )

[Casey]

Are Carlisle going to finish so far adrift at the bottom that it isn’t even worth putting us in the league table?

Corrected it.

Its all CUFC to me.

Ha ha! Bottom of the league Swindon. Am sure that won't be the case in May.

Second bottom. I think that's our worst league position in our history.

24.Harrogate

Time for some people to start owning up to their mistakes tbf. We know more or less the howlers we've made now with 8-10 games to go.

Carlisle and Stevenage glaring errors but I don't think I'll be the only one. We're currently slightly better than expected but I still have us down for 6th-9th so not wrong yet.

Sutton another error aswell. Don't know why I did that actually. I rate them. Organised side who know their jobs. I genuinley think I did it because I didn't want to upset the Hartlepool fans and put them there.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Threads like these are the reason why I don’t make predictions, and why I never will.

23. Harrogate
24. Colchester

Being as optimistic as I can possibly be, physically couldn’t bring myself to put pools in bottom two, but honestly unless some solid signings come through the door asap I can see us dropping.

lol

 

[Richard Cranium]

If Barra finish 10th and us 24th I’m convinced we’re living in a Footy Manager game and the bastard keeps reloading his save.

I will change those though before the season starts, already thinking I might swap Grimsby and Crawley over, but who knows

I don’t think that’s too bad, a few wildly wrong though including us

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Mansfield can book that open top bus that gave us so much joy in 2013.
Stockport will dominate most teams and finish second
Northampton Saints second team will get the third spot.
Mark Hughes will chalk up another destroy and exit victim as Bradford fail in the play-offs. Tranmere to take the play-off promotion spot.
Nearly everyone thinks we'll finish 13th so I go with that and an FA Cup jaunt to the 5th round.

Colchester and Harrogate to go to hell below us.

What a pessimist I am...

 

[chipmunx]

I've got a few howlers too, including Crawley and Carlisle, but at least the Barrow and Hartlepool bit makes me laugh.

 

[Boz]

I didn’t do that badly, Carlisle and Stevenage well out, Gillingham and Rochdale too high and Rovers just about right.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Without looking, can anyone guess where Hellogregory had Carlisle down to finish?

 

[joethegill]

We've absolutely bollocked up a lot of predictions this season. Apologies for that.

 

[maverick34]

Well it seems I've had my fair share of howlers too Carlisle, Stevenage and Barrow all done much better than I thought, and Tranmere and the Wombles going the opposite way for me. They're the only ones more than 10 positions away from what I first thought though with all the rest currently sitting within 6 places or so I think (if I've worked it out right)

So after todays games - Stockport still on to finish second, Northampton third and Bradford fail in the play-offs; do I then get some kind of special award for this post despite failing to make a full tabular prediction? I've had more faith in Stockport (despite our bogey team status over them) than some of their fans on here. Good Friday 22 they absolutely murdered us for 30 mins at BP, we touched the ball about as much as we did against Brighton, then Sarcevic was sent off and then they went into their shell even though they didn't need to and lost 2-1 to us.

If Mansfield can make the play-offs we could have almost a complete set of the wrist-slasher play-offs on here HelloGregory, Cas and all Mansfield fans...

 

[Conker]

I cannot even be arsed to go in the play-offs and do what we have done throughout our history and bottle it as per. If I live to see a Mansfield play-off promotion anything is possible.

 

[Agombar stool]

Just an idea for a simple competition. (mark your own papers mind) once the season is finished, take your 1-24 predictions and for those teams you got in the exact positions, you get 5 points and for those your are 1 position away you get 2? We can then see who the master predictor is. No prize, just pride.

The Mansfield v Carlisle final is going to be such joy on here.

The winner is player with lowest score. You get no points if you predict the exact position, but get 23 points if the team you predicted to be bottom wins the league. Other points awarded by calculating difference in prediction position and actual position.
