Assuming we escape relegation which i know am fully confident we will do so comfortably in the end, which two clubs do you lot think will drop into the BSP?
I have always stated that since Sheridan took over at Plymouth, they will drop as he is in no way the right sort of manager to be getting them out of the brown stuff so Plymouth are my first team.
Barnet and Aldershot are both poor sides but they are gradually accumulating points and i think they will be safe. I can't see Brizzle and York being sucked in so that leaves AFC Wimbledon and Accrington. I do think that although Wimbledon sit bottom at the moment, Accrington look the team for me who will struggle for any sort of consistent form and so my two are:
PLYMOUTH & ACCRINGTON
I hope AFC Wimbledon and Barnet both drop though as they are both London-ish clubs and as you all know i'm allergic to London. :~D
Anyway, we're not going down, under Knill we'll be the dogs boll*cks!!!
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

I'd even like Jeremy Clarkson if he got us playing in the opponents half Steve!

Very wise Dave, very wise.

I've said we're gonna stop up so we're down anyway now!

Plymouth remind me of Colchester (from around 20 years ago) and Carlisle (from probably around 10 years ago or so) who both seemed, on the face of it, clubs that were unlikely relegation candidates in terms of their stature. Had a season of struggle and survived, so then you looked at them and expected a bit of momentum to get them secure or better the following season, yet both Colchester and Carlisle - after just surviving - then succumbed the following year. Therefore, there is a part of me that thinks Plymouth might go. All of me hopes they do, but essentially, because they are Plymouth and because they are essentially swines, they will probably survive.
We need to hit the ground running very quickly under Alan Knill and it may be that we have a bit of 'dead- cat-bounce' and we bounce high enough to see us over the 50pt line. If he is unable to arrest the slide that we currently are seeing, then we could certainly be last year's Macclesfield because at the moment we are doing everything to emulate them. So there is a reasonable chance - make a good bet, I suspect - that it could be a Devon double going down.
However, Accrington are surely going down at some point and this could be the year, whilst Barnet seem to wriggle out of it each year, so I expect them to be clear. Aldershot or Wimbledon are the only other clubs I see, unless York go on a dodgy run. I think everyone else are probably secure enough to start thinking about next season.
I have a hunch it may well be Plymuff. I haven't got any particular fondness for them at all. There is a streak of arrogance about them and they do have quite a few nasty violent fans. or certainly have in the past. They certainly let us know it when we went down and it would have been quite funny if Exeter had been going down with them. But it seems they are going the other way.,
Acrington are certainly a good bet for the drop and I have no reason to suspect they will survive this time. Their ground is the pits. I think it may well easily be the worst in the league and possibly even the conference. Barnet seem to be on the up a bit at the moment and with the move this summer and a new ground on the horizon I think they will lose the mantle of one of the worst grounds in the league. In fact the new stadium could gain them new fans. they sertainly need it.
Aldershot should be looking at getting a newer stadium in the not to distant future and say goodbye to their old ground. it is past it's best. Not a particularly nice place to visit. Odd too with only 3 sides. I don't have any love for some of these cloned new stadiums but they are way better than facilities that belong to the victorian era.
I have a fondness for Wimblebimledon. they fought a mamoth fight to regain league status after MK franchise stole their spot. I really do want them to survudly they are in danger
My vote woulr be Plymuff and Accy.

Just for fun (?) I thought I'd check the 'predict the top seven' thread from the beginning of the season - I had us at number 3 (behind Southend and Chesterfield). So given that I'm crap at predictions I'll say we're going down!
