Dark Horse for promotion

[Icy Gull]

Is there any one team other than the more obvious Weds/Charlton/Saints/ Hudds etc that you think may be capable of pushing their way into the top 2?

I've got a sneaky feeling that Oldham may force their way quite high over the next couple of months, they have quietly been going about being around the top for a while now. Also thought that they were one of the better teams I've seen at Withdean this season.

Any others?

Brentford. I thought so at the start of the season and thay have shown why in recent months. Realistically, if anyone goes on a run of form in this Division they could go up, very little to choose between the teams perhaps apart from Saints and Hudders who really should be doing better.

I was going to suggest Oldham too.

Few months ago I think it'd had to have been B'muff but they're selling players left right a center rumours that Pugh there nifty (8goal) LW is going to Southampton, So I cant see them doing more than mid table now.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Brentford or yes Oldham as the dark horses.

 

[Napper]

Swindon for the play offs is my tip arriving into them with a fair bit of momentum

Even if they do let Pugh go they've still got Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb.

Cuthbert plays for Swindon and Dibble retired years ago. Not heard of the other two.

Edit: I think Crodo linked up to Dean Grubb. A chap with a very pointy head (Grubb, not Crodo).

To be honest haven't a clue about other teams just looking ahead and there's no one in sight Top of the league and looking up

Um..............you don't mention us ?

 

[fosters headband]

Hartlepool
Win their game in hand and they are in the pack chasing the play off's

 

[Two Professors]

Notts County getting their act together,& the bald ginger crim is well hungry for goals

 

[Icy Gull]

Um..............you don't mention us ?

Could that be because a team that's been 8 points clear and on top for 3 months could never be considered a dark horse do ya reckon?

A win on Friday and the Two Professors could have picked the darkest horse. Hope he's wrong.

Another vote for Oldham

 

[BensGrandad]

I think the thread title is wrong it should read dark horses for the play offs because I cannot see any club coming in late for the automtaic places 1 of which will go to Wednesday with Mandaric throwing money around in January as per usual for him. For all of his faults he has always been good for a club in that respect. Mind you he could be sharing a cell with Arry soon but I doubt it.

On the last bit how did he pass the FA fit and proper rule to take over Wednesday with a charge related to his dealings at another club hanging over him . Surely the FA should have refused until that had been settled one way or another.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Other than the usual suspects I reckon Hartlepool will cause mayhem in the second half of the season and migth sneak in.

I put Bees in my "four for the play-offs" on another thread. They beat Southampton at St Mary's, so that's looking good, I excluded Soton.

But I did put in Swindon to general ribaldry, still think Danny Boy may get it together after Xmas. It's a very open division even now, with the leaders faltering...

leyton orient of course

Even Orient fans aren't THAT optimistic... by the way Whing played a full 90 minutes last Saturday. He's disbarred from the Jan 1st match.
