Totally didn't steal this from @KentishFootballFan last year for the Prem. Seem to do ok for League One (unlike Championship and League Two) even though I know almost nothing about the teams so will try to predict next season's table. 1. Derby County 2. Sheffield Wednesday 3. MK Dons 4. Oxford United 5. Ipswich Town 6. Portsmouth 7. Bolton 8. Peterborough 9. Barnsley 10. Wycombe 11. Plymouth Ayrgle 12. Lincoln City 13. Charlton Athletic 14. Bristol Rovers 15. Shrewbury 16. Cheltenham 17. Accrington Stanley 18. Burton Albion 19. Port Vale 20. Fleetwood 21. Cambridge United 22. Exeter City 23. Forest Green 24. Morecambe
Probably not a bad early prediction. Not sure about Derby though, think it's going to take them at least a season to sort themselves out.

I can only see one Devon club in League One. There is a Cornish side I can see though, of who we will certainly finish above. No Covid to rescue you this time from finishing below us
Jeez , how early is this ? I do like to participate in these league things but I'll wait until a few weeks before the start of the season when clubs in June / July make signings etc ... despite already backing my lot to get promoted at 5/1 on the back of in recent times teams who've been relegated from Championship to League 1 without any embargos etc... have a good record of going back up / making the play offs . Looks like the " my auntie's bingo wings are bigger than your auntie's " aka Plymouth / Exeter will be a rivetting encounter for us all to endure this season , only one winner there though !
We'll have loads to spend in the transfer window after you buy Josh Key for a couple mil. lols Re the Devon/Cornwall derby, let us not remind you of the last time Plymouth and Exeter were in League 1 and were both teams finished. It was even further apart than my prediction this time around is. And let us also not forget we were above the Cornish for most of their promotion season from League 2 that was cut short thanks to our friend Covid after they had numerous home games in a row just before the season finished to edge above us for a matter of hours
Lots of local (ish) games for the South West(ish) based teams this season , like a mini WORZEL league , gotta feeling The Gas maybe dark horses to top the lot but early days transfer wise etc... Good luck to all , looking forward to the banter
Yeah I thought that, until I looked at the league one map and saw that a localish game (SW) for us is Cheltehan, which is as close as Manchester is to Aston Villa - Looking forward to the Brumchester derby next season. I suppose the games for us are local but when you look at the distance between Plymouth and Cheltenham, it can hardly be classed as local or a derby. That being said, much happier than last seasons map and travels! Bigger clubs and more local ones too.
We are officially in the South West region though - Gloucestershire being the northernmost county of the region.
I know, my point was it's not exactly local just because we're in the same region - at least when you compare it to teams from other areas. What's interesting and a completely separate note is that Cheltenham appears both on our ITV local news, and also Birmingham local news on ITV
They do indeed - depending on which way your aerial was facing you could get Midlands Today or Points West in my nan's house on the BBC.
I'd class Plymouth , Exeter , Bristol Rovers , Forest Green & Cheltenham South West based so a bit nearer for some of Plymouth's travels this season rather than Sunderland / Wigan etc... My folks live in South Lincs & get East Midlands today on Sky & something called Look North where they can hear what's going on in Sheffield / Huddersfield etc ... on Freeview in the kitchen , weird stuff !
Another reason why you should get a 'dodgy' firestick if not only to avoid paying Sky & BT money, but you can also select any local news stations so you don't have that issue But yes, we've swapped the likes of Barrow, Hartlepool & Carlisle for Plymouth, Oxford, Cheltenham, Pompy etc so good news for us as well. Shame about leaving Newport & Swindon behind though. Would've been ace if Swindon came up instead of Vale.
Sure we will probably struggle (right now would be very happy to finish 19th) But am going to hold off making predictions for a while yet, bring on the transfer window, etc
