We now know the other 23 teams with us in League 2 next season after yesterdays victory for Bradford at Wembley in the play off final. Here are the full line up of teams for League 2 next season... Portsmouth Scunthorpe Hartlepool Bury Northampton Burton Cheltenham Chesterfield Oxford Exeter Southend Rochdale Gas Fleetwood Morecambe Wycombe York Accrington Torquay Wimbledon Plymouth Dagenham Mansfield Newport Top 7 is a must. Can we achieve this with these teams? Who will be our main challengers for a top 7 spot?
I've never seen a more one-sided play-off final. It's good to see Bradford go up, as they would have been very tough opponents next season. As for whether we'll challenge, I still think the squad needs some improvement, especially in midfield, but top 7 must be the aim. Portsmouth will have a good chance as they're stabilising and have already signed around five or six players. Cheltenham might challenge again (hopefully not), and Chesterfield look a very good team that's capable of winning promotion.
Portsmouth. Oxford, Southend, Chesterfield, Gas and Plymouth should (in theory!) be up there challenging next season, although I think the league will be slightly weaker than this season. Congrats to Bradford, they're a strong team who had a fantastic run in and won the final with consummate ease.
