Cobblers, who start against Colchester United at Sixfields, are one of those teams fancied for promotion after going so close last year but they will have strong competition from the likes of Stockport County and Bradford City, among others. Reporter James Heneghan takes a stab at predicting how the final League Two table will look (don’t shout, it’s just a bit of fun!)….
13. Tranmere Rovers
Difficult team to predict after going close last season. Have snapped up ex-Cobblers Jordan Turnbull and Paul Lewis while Kane Hemmings and Elliott Nevitt are strong attacking options. Title odds: 18/1. Photo: Pete Norton
14. Walsall
Michael Flynn took charge towards the end of last season and he's wasted no time in overhauling the squad under new ownership. Could be up there if it clicks. Title odds: 25/1. Photo: Pete Norton
15. Stevenage
Another club who have been very busy in the transfer market. Steve Evans knows the score at this level and it would be no surprise if he has Boro overachieving this season. Is there a more Steve Evans player than Danny Rose? Title odds: 33/1. Photo: Pete Norton
16. Barrow
Pete Wild looks a smart appointment and he brought ex-Town forward Billy Waters with him from Halifax. Favourites for relegation with the bookies but I reckon they might surprise one or two and potentially even push top half. Title odds: 66/1. Photo: Pete Norton
