Northampton have a very good budget and good attendance I think regarding fans.

Think Dark horses are Burton Albion

Can't possibly guess at what stage we might finish until Sammy has finished building his squad but i do have concerns at the moment and time running out but if i had too it would be around 14th, however a couple more quality additions and all can change but you only need to look at my home town club of Shrewsbury to see how other squads are building very strongly. I hate saying it but they must be top 4 material at least and you can't possibly think our current squad is any where near as good surely? All i can say is, well done Graham Turner.

Ben Smith - Doncaster (to be No.2 goalie)
Mark Wright - Bristol Rovers (6mth loan)
Matt Harrold - Wycombe (Excellent signing)
David Raven - Carlisle
Matt Sadler - Watford (On Loan +another excellent signing)
Sean McAllister - Sheffield Wed
Ian Sharpes - Rotherham (ex Rotherham captain/good signing):rumour mill has it they robbed him from us
and i believe 1 or 2 more still to come.

ps
Town have not lost a game yet pre-season apart from a behind closed doors game which was before the majority of the new faces joined them.
Won V Tranmere (Yesterday)
Draw v Coventry
Lost V Birmingham (at B/Ham-behind closed doors in June)
Joma South West Challenge cup Devon
Won V Havant
Won V Rushdon
Won V Ilfracombe
Made the final V Blackpool but pulled out so as not to make any minor injuries worse. 10/10 to Graham Turner, not many managers would have the bottle to do that.

[marky No.1]

They had high expectations last season and oh, look what happened to them.

They will be in the mix tho as will Rotherham, Wycombe, Bradford, Northampton, Chesterfield and Gillingham and here we are expecting to beat the likes of these!

Correct Marky 'they' did have high expectations last year but this year its not the case. The majority of the fans obviously no it takes time to settle but expect Graham Turner to bring the good times back to the Shrews eventually but not straight away. These predictions were my own based on the sheer quality Turner has signed however it just goes to show pre-season results mean nothing as the season they ended up being relegated to the conference (i didn't laugh...much) the Shrews had not lost 1 pre-season game!

That's interesting cos on their prediction thread most of them, bar the odd one, expect them to be 1st, 2nd, 3rd or at least win the play off!

Perhaps that's just another example of how a message board only gives a narrow cross reference of supporters views.

So far I have resisted a prediction, but laughed when Shrewsbury Shrimp said 14th, I thought 13th
No, better not, some people are superstitious better go for 14th instead.
We didn't agree on much as kids, this getting old thing is scary

[marky]

As our squad still isn't complete, I shall continue to refrain from making a prediction. However, it's interesting to note that that league table prediction thread on the Football Forum have us anything from 1st to 20th.

Didn't agree much I don't remember ever ageeing Mick BUT i do agree this age thingy is very scary as i tend to think sensibly nowadays and actually can't be bothered to argue sometimes

Trouble is, you've got almost exactly six days left to make a prediction! I'd held off for exactly the reason you mentioned but with no more friendlies we're pretty close to the off now.

[Blackpool Shrimp]

can my prediction please be added to list .. position 10th. goals 60. points 62

[marky No.1]

Oh stuff it, I've waited long enough. As nobody else is brave enough and i've been listening to a dickie bird I will go for the title!
