Pre-Season Predictions: League Two

So a little later than planned but here is my guide to whose is going to be hot and whose not in the 2011/2012 League Two Season.

As always I will start with the challengers and there is one that stands out for me this season. Gillingham have added seven new players to their ranks including that of Adam Birchall who signed from Kent rivals Dover Athletic last week.
Birchall scored an incredible 45 goals last season for Dover, including a screamer at the Priestfield in Dover's shock 2-0 win against the Gills in the FA Cup.

Other challengers I think we can expect to see in League Two are last season's relegated sides from League One, especially Bristol Rovers and Plymouth Argyle, meanwhile 'Moneybags' Crawley will also be pushing for back to back promotions.

The bottom of this division will be as tight as ever with your usual candidates, Barnet, Cheltenham and Macclesfield all likely to feature again in the battle to survive the drop. I think these sides will be joined by the likes Hereford and Port Vale in what will be a very close race.

My predictions for the League Two season 2011/2012:

Champions: Gillingham
Promoted: Bristol Rovers, Shrewsbury
Play-Offs: Bradford, Crewe, Crawley, Plymouth
Relegated: Barnet, Burton

Do you agree? Will Adam Birchall be as good for Gillingham as he was Dover? Who has been your sides best signing so far?

As always let me know.
