who are our likely promotion rivals

[Vernon]

no one particularly stands out

 

[sonofagun]

Pompey
Bradford
Charlton
Coventry
Barnsley

 

[Baghdad McBadLad]

Barnsley and Pompey

 

[John Steed]

Have to admit I know nothing about this league. I'd better start learning.

 

[Arkle]

Pompey
Bradford
Charlton
Coventry
Barnsley

I'd add Luton, Scunthorpe, Southend, Plymouth, Peterborough to that list. TBH, Shrewsbury went from 20th and 18th in the previous two seasons to 3rd in this so it's fair to say that any well managed club can make a promotion/playoff challenge.

 

[Boo]

Pompey
Barnsley
Charlton

 

[thecloughywobble]

I wouldn't rule Burton out.

 

[weebil64]

Our only rivals are us, let's have a change of attitude.

 

[foggy]

Have we learned nowt? I’ll take not falling any further first and I’m Mr f***ing happy clapper.

 

[Upthere]

Doesn’t matter who they are

We are Sunderland

Got our own job to do, focus on us and us only

 

[Secret Visage]

Complacency.

 

[Jgrainger]

This suggests we are nailed on for promotion and we certainly are not.

 

[ned_werby]

all of them

 

[safcforever]

Nobody. We’re gonna way league 1 invincibles

 

[KittenMittens]

Methven mentioned 7-8 clubs the other day and he knows that league. That was before Coventry got promoted too.

Think we'll need a big squad to cope.

 

[manilla]

who says we are going to promotion contenders

 

[twangmackem]

Without sounding negative, isn't this de ja vu? We all thought this last season and that turned out well, I do feel we'll go up first time mind

 

[Sleepy]

who says we are going to promotion contenders

Me

 

[bomber]

Who are the 4 teams worse than us is more lime it.

 

[BNM]

We will do very well to be in contention for the play-offs.
