League One 25/26 - the Runners and Riders, or Schumacher's First Strike

Bradford could be one of those surprise teams. Pressure off - big home crowds - look like they are investing a bit. Wouldn’t shock me. Not unlike Stockport this season.

All things are possible in an an infinite universe. But when Stockport went up (as 92pt champions) they won 12 away games and drew 6; their 42pts on the road was the division's best total. Last season Bradford snuck up on the last day, having gained just 23pts (W5 D8) on the road - the division's 16th-best total. That would take one hell of a turnaround – not to mention that well-bankrolled Stockport also signed about a dozen players last summer.

Not unsurprising... will be interesting to see who of this lad and TSL do better in L1. Not least for England fans...

Would be a decent Sonny Carey replacement for Blackpool, this. Darren Witcoop says Huddersfield were interested but it looks like Blackpool wanted him more.

Heard they did need a new right winger.

J/K Wes is ace (apart from his weird religious stuff).

As it happens, I'm going for a pint tomorrow with my nephew who works for Wes. I'll float the idea of him ditching Blackpool to be our back-up keeper instead.

Blackpool appear to be doing some good business.

Fixtures out at noon tomorrow. I can see us playing Plymouth on the opening day.

Plymouth resign themselves to losing another key man.
