Who do you think will be among the early pacesetters in League Two?

[Pak Power]

Do you think it will be us or any of the other relegated clubs?
Myself I think Morecombe with Phil Jevons up front and Adam Rundle in midfield (4th Last season)
and Rotherham with Tom Pope and Adam Le Fondre up front (5th last) will be among the pacesetters.

While Le Fondre was sighted at Barnsley's training ground today, If Rotherham keep him they look good to have another good season.

I've gone for teams with good forwards at this level, because at the end of the day that is what gets you promoted.

Anyone think the promoted teams stand a chance of early leadership?

 

[Shrimper]

Aldershot and Morecambe for me will be the early pacesetters.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

We will be with Blair Sturrock netting a hat trick on his debut.

 

[Andy_S]

Aldershot and Morecambe for me will be the early pacesetters.

Christ, that's a depressing thought.

 

[EastStandBlue]

I'd guess Lincoln will be there or there abouts, Bradford as well.

I think goalscorers are the symptom, not the cause of a good team. I'd rate as more important a good team spirit and a bit of momentum. I therefore wouldn't be surprised if one of the promoted teams are up there.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Definately wont be us!. Peter Taylor at Bradford City has a good track record at lower league clubs, so dont write them off.

 

[Medway Blue]

Lincoln, Rotherham if they keep hold of Le Fondre, Wycombe and Alderhsot for me. I see those teams as serious challengers.

 

[DTS]

Oxford I think are going to be a good side as they have the momentum plus a decent fan base.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Rotherham and Bradford should be faves to take the title, also expect to see Burton, Oxford, Gillingham and Aldershot to be up there. If we can get the new squad to 'gel' together I don't see why we can be up there come Christmas... miracles do happen ! (we're currently 20/1 at the bookies..)

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

Oxford will still be on a high from their promotion, Bradford City seem to be getting everything into place, Rotherham United are always difficult opposition at this level, and Morecambe and Aldershot will be out to prove a point. These are the clubs I can see amongst the pacesetters.

Thats a point they have Dreeewe up front, although they finished 20th last season.

 

[Pak Power]

What are Shrewsbury's odds now that they have Matt Harrold in their forward line ? (lol)

Probably better than ours with Blair "Goal Machine" Sturrock up front...

 

[IloveShrimp]

Is that the same Peter Taylor who f**ked us over!

I appreciate this comment is probably tongue in cheek, but I really hope Sturrock doesn't turn into just another striker written off before he's even played 90 minutes for us. Ironically, up front is about the only position we have options at the moment.

No it wasn't.
I haven't rallied against an incoming player so much since Foran and if you go back I was saying no doubt he'd be one of the first signings from the second I heard the rumours Sturrock would be announced as Tilly's replacement.
Like I've said elsewhere, if Broughton, Revell & Harrold got stick from the Roots Hall crowd, you ain't seen nothing yet with the "goal machine"...

 

[Jam_Man]

Did he?

How?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Gillingham, Wycombe, Rotherham and Bradford.

Unfortunately I'm with Rich entirely. Given our player predicament, and the arrival of Paul Sturrock, it was a certainty that Blair would soon arrive at Roots Hall. Also unfortunate, is that he is pony.
