Obviously alot of that is my opinion so what do you reckon? If anyone could fill in the gaps in League 1 and 2 I would appreciate it. Not too bad overall eh?

Good idea! Just this minute finished a season with Zaragoza, promoted! It's the Camp Nou for me next season! :lux: League 2 Best Signing; I know that Ben Hamer is extremely well thought of down at Griffin Park, spent the whole season on loan at the Bees from Reading. Rueben Reid at Rotherham must be worth a shout for best signing too.

Could make a case that Leeds are the League 1 underachievers?

Yeah but then Brighton wouldn't even get a mention ;)

We're definitely the underacheivers. A squad that would look decent on paper a division above; scraping to 4th in L1 then rolling over and dying in the play-offs again. Pathetic.

Agree on most of the rest & good idea. Will think about mine.
