Question Pre-season predictions -- YOUR Vote Required *URGENTLY*

[Rusty Shackleford]

Wow, tipping Shrewsbury and Rotherham who finished, what, 4th and 5th last season(?) - that's a really brave call. Putting their reputation on the line there.

The Racing Post's tip of Barry Corr is however ballsy. Having done all that research and then to pick a player as top-scorer who starts the season on the treatment table and has a long history of injuries is certainly courageous. No doubting his quality, but he has it all to prove fitness wise. Add in playing for a defensive manager and a change in forward partners from an assist man to a goalscorer, which may well mean a slightly different role for BBB, and that's a huge call tipping Corr.

Anybody not tipping BBBC is obviously a fool or a knave.

Whilst BBBC will obviously rip the division apart once more, I think goals will be the wrong measure of his success. I think his role switches from goalscorer to targetman to accomodate Harris. He'll still score, but it won't be his primary role and therefore shouldn't be what he is judged on.

I am no doubt both a fool and a knave, but I think Corr as top League Two goal-scorer is an exceptionally bad bet.

I'm not sure about that. He won't play as many games as we now have the depth in the squad to rest him if he picks up a knock but our best football under Sturrock has been playing 4-3-3 and I'd expect us to play that a lot this season, with the side then being set up to supply Corr. Whether he'll be top scorer in the division it's hard to say but I'd be fairly confident that he'll outscore Harris.

I think YB has a point, and Barry might have something of an off year in the goal scoring department. He might not quite crack the hundred mark.

In terms of the bookies - and there are big variations, with Southend as big as 25/1 with Coral and as low as 16/1 with SkyBet - generally speaking we are 12th in the betting.

Good work. Looks like Hills have adopted a policy of being best price on every team in League Two, so if you're looking to bet a team in our division, that's the place to go.
