Mansfield Town
Our Prediction: 21st
Boss Peter Shirtliff has been left with the bare bones of a struggling side with which to plot his assult on the new season.
Things will be tight. In a hard division to call, just nine points seperated the bottom 10 teams last time out.
And with so few new faces in the squad for inspiration, Shirtliff may find himself facing another mountain to climb before long.
Key Man : Richard Barker
Title Odds: 28/1
In : Matt Hamshaw (Stockport), C Muggleton (Ch*sterfield), J Mullins (Reading)
Out : R Day (Aldershot), A Rundle (Rochdale), J Talbot (Port Vale)
