Last year was all about establishing themselves in League 1 and Southend achieved that, finishing comfortably in mid-table. This year, the pressure is on to reach even higher and not catch second season syndrome, with manager svenie looking confident of this.

Last season was very nervous for Accrington and although they ended up beating relegation by a number of points, the threat was hanging over them for most of the season. Once more they are up against it, in what could be Grant Thame's toughest challenge yet
Matt Cole:

Team: Bradford
Predicted Finish: 8th
Actual Finish:4th
View attachment 195298View attachment 195299
Last season was incredible and also heart breaking for Bradford. After going on an incredible run of form in December, they found themselves in the automatic promotion places. However, on the last day of the season, they slipped out of the automatic promotion places and got overtaken by Rotherham. In the play-offs they lost on penalties to Shrewsbury in the final. This season, promotion if not the title is expected, and it will be interesting to see if manager Matt Cole can handle the pressure.
Damien Worrall

Predicted Finish: 6th
Actual Finish: 21st
View attachment 195303View attachment 195304
Bury were very poor last season, flirting with relegation despite being expected to finish in the play-offs. This led to manager Mark Fletcher being sacked and Damien Worrall replacing him. This season, expectations are lower then ever and a mid-table finish would be accepted by the Bury faithful

Predicted Finish: 24th
Actual Finish: 22nd
View attachment 195308View attachment 195309
It all looked to be going swimmingly for Gillingham. In comfortable mid-table until the last few months of the season. They suddenly went through a horrible run of form, and were unable to prevent themselves slipping into the relegation spots. Now back in League 2, they will be looking to bounce staight back up
Oliver Freed

Actual Finish: 7th
View attachment 195313View attachment 195314
Crawley played far better then expected to last season, finishing in the play-offs and losing to Bradford in the semi-final. They also had a nice little FA Cup run that their fans can be very proud of. This season, the fans will be hoping to make the play-offs again.
Nick Phipps

Actual Finish: 17th
View attachment 195318View attachment 195319
Morecambe were poor last season. Expected to finish mid-table, they slipped and flirted with relegation for the best part of the season. Some of the fans are wondering how manager Nick Phipps managed to keep his job, and he will certainly be under pressure next year.
Nezzy

Predicted Finish: 20th
Actual Finish:24th
View attachment 195323View attachment 195324
Last year was catastrophic for Aldershot, finishing last in League 2 by some distance. It will be new manager Nezzy's job to try and rebuild the team and hopefully get back to League 2 in the near future
James Beadle

Predicted Finish: 2nd
Actual Finish: 16th
View attachment 195328View attachment 195329
Last season wasn't great for Darlington, and new manager James Beadle will be hoping to change that this season, with a play-off spot the minimum expectation
Mark Fletcher
