They were in danger of relegation until the last 2 weeks of the season and finished level on points with Cheltenham, so how come they are 6th favourites for next season? Have they suddenly got some cash to splash?

Crawley? Probably play offs. I'd expect Plymouth, Swindon and Dagenham to be near the top, plus the usual suspects from in and around the play offs this year.

This year will be a test of the old 'well run,' 'within our means' nonsense they kept spouting. They were punching well above their weight last year and costs will need to be cut to fit back into League 2.

Brodie's gone on loan to Fleetwood for the season so expect they'll sign at least one striker

What's happened to these mysterious "Hong Kong based backers" McFraud was spouting off about? Although it'll be nice to him crash and burn, I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for any of the Crawley fans who are worried about his continued involvement with their club but dare not say anything.
