If the already thread for this division please closed this one.
I will like to welcome Burton to this division which it be first time they played in third tier of football, welcome back to Blackpool, Wigan, Millwall, Shrewsbury, Southend and Bury who looking forward to trip to JD Stadium on 29th August.
Who do people think will go up and will finish in bottom 4 this season? I think Bury and Scunthorpe will be dark horse this season and possible finishes in top 10, it be interesting to see how Blackpool get on given people tipping them to finishes in bottom 4 but I think they may finish in mid table.
Will this be season Oldham finally come out of this division since 1997? Probably not and I do think we may struggle this season but hope I'm wrong.

i expect us to score more goals than ever before and i hoping to win the league! top 6 minimum
I don't think we're ready for Wigan yet, it's come round too fast!
gonna win the league!
I think we have a great chance of making the playoffs this season however I'm not sure we're quite good enough to challenge for automatic promotion.
1st Sheff Utd
2nd Millwall
Play off in no order
Bradford
Peterborough
Scunthorpe
Wigan
I do think this be season Sheff Utd will finally get they promotion (knowing I thought they go up last two season) I can't see Wigan finishing in top 2 spot and feel they may take them couple of season to return back to Championship, as I mention before I feel Scunthorpe could be dark horse this season and maybe finishes in top 6 but probably not enough to go up via play offs as I probably tip Bradford or Peterborough to go up from one of them four teams.
Bottom 4 in no order
Colchester
Crewe
Port Vale
Shrewsbury
I don't think Blackpool will get relegation knowing people are tipping them to go down, I feel Shrewsbury will only stay in this division for one season and return back to League two and I think Port Vale may struggle this season and get relegated to League two.
As for Oldham I think they finish in 18/19th place and maybe beat Coventry on last day of season to avoid going down.
I think Bradford will be very strong this year. Four Four Two think you'll finish 2nd
As I said, surely Colchester and Crewe will finally go down
There are only seven clubs in this division this season which are located south of Birmingham and Swindon Town's nearest fixtures this season are at Coventry and Millwall; both grounds over 80 miles away from Swindon, yet geographically, it's not a remote place in comparison to other clubs in the Football League!:o
Can remember watching us in the Beazer Homes Premier division not so long back.
Don't think we'll go down. We'll be pretty competitive I think (hope!) but a nice mid table position will do me.
I see they predicted Gillingham to finish in 7th place
Gillingham looked very strong at the end of last season when they relegated us
Despite us being one or two players short, i think we have a pretty strong squad, plenty of service with Hourihane in the centre of the park, and young Dan Crowley on loan from Arsenal looks the business. Looking short up front, but in Sam Winnall i believe we have one of the best strikers in the league, should he stay fit.
Making the trip to the proact stadium tomorrow, really fancy our chances against a weakened Chesterfield side.
As for Oldham they start the season at Walsall tomorrow (funny a enough Oldham last away match last season was at Walsall) I don't think we got anything from there and think it could take aleast five matches for our first win of season (hopefully I'm wrong)
Predicted: Walsall 2-0 Oldham
Unfortunately for Oldham i think it will be a long hard season of struggle and strife. Either way i wish you well. Surprised we haven't signed Liam Kelly yet, although i am glad Forte failed his medical, terrible player.
I don't see Oldham doing well either but hope you're wrong, you seem to have collapsed since Johnson left
Chesterfield will struggle. Not just because of Dean Saunders who always relegates teams but key players such as Roberts, Ryan, Clucas and Darikwa have all left
I'm surprise Kelly haven't sign for you team but he is one of best players so hoping he still is Latics player come 2nd September.
no surprise that Forte failed his medical given he only played one game of week for us last season, he not terrible player special he was our top scorer last season with 15 goals knowing 12/13 of them came in first half of season.
As for today Oldham draw 1-1 to Walsall which sound like fair results, Forte come off bench and scored our equaliser goal, hopefully he scored more goals this season.
I see Doncaster allow Bury to equaliser after ball were meant to be pass back to Bury goalkeeper but ended up in net.

Surprise to see Sheff Utd lost 4-0 to Gillingham
How did Sheff Utd lose 4-0?!
On the opening day of the League One 2009-10 season, Gillingham beat Swindon 5-0 at Priestfield. Gillingham were relegated at the end of that season, while Swindon made the play-off final.
Also on the same day, Norwich - who were one of the pre-season favourites for the title - lost 7-1 at home to Colchester. They promptly sacked their manager Bryan Gunn and replaced him with Paul Lambert, who was the manager of the said Colchester team. The end result? They won the L1 title at a hack canter.
So all is not lost for Sheffield United - plus Bradford, Peterborough and all other clubs who lost their opening fixture - fans; only another 45 games to go!
But Norwich would still most likely have struggled in League One sticking with Bryan Gunn and not replacing him with Paul Lambert so soon. But Norwich got Paul Lambert and look how they've done since! He wouldn't have taken Colchester to the Prem
I never expect us (Sheffield United) to win every game, I respect the other teams but that was a bloody disgrace. Zero passion, no fight and no muscle. We were outfought and Gillingham wanted it more. Ok, we did have a make-shift back four and for some reason our #1 keeper from last season/pre season didn't get the nod but I expected something from us.
Maybe this was the tonking we needed, we went through pre season undefeated and Adkins has to bring in another CB. We needed one since losing Harry Maguire at the start of last season to Hull City and never replaced him.
Hartlepool (I think) tomorrow in the Cup but I'm looking forward to our first derby of the season against Chesterfield next Saturday.
