Three Out Of Four For The Bookies

The bookies were fairly accurate in their pre-season predictions on how the League One table would look at the end.

They correctly predicted that the Bulls, Cheltenham, and Crewe would be in the bottom four - but Stockport surprised them with a mid-table finish and deny them a clean sweep. At the top the perennial under-achievers Leeds were supposed to be joining Leicester in a two horse race, with Peterboro a plucky third and MK Dons fourth.

While the Hatters were outperforming expectations, play-off contenders Scunthorpe and Millwall were expected to be mid-table filler, but a number of clubs have clearly been disappointments. Colchester and Carlisle were both expected to be in, or very near, the play-offs, and Brighton were expecting a top half finish.
