There’s no standout favourite this year and no team likely to romp to the title like Birmingham City.
League newcomers Cardiff City, Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town all predictably are amongst the early frontrunners to make a quick return to the Championship.
Big hitters Huddersfield Town and Bolton Wanderers will be hoping for improved seasons, while Leyton Orient and Wycombe Wanderers will have work to do to repeat last season’s top six finish.
Cobblers have already begun strengthening as they gear themselves up for another battle ahead, with Kevin Nolan happy with his summer moves so far.
Last season Town finished just five points ahead of the relegation places, with a similar season most likely on the cards in 25/26.
