1. Rotherham
(12/1 – last season finished 5th)

The Millers will make up for last term's Wembley heartache by blasting out of the stalls in front and staying there. A very solid outfit, a brilliant boss in Ronnie Moore and a superb finisher in Adam Le Fondre. They will be champions with a bit to spare.

Star man: Adam Le Fondre

2. Bradford City

(10/1 – 14th)

City's still massive fanbase are getting fed up of the basement division but they should be able to wave it goodbye come May with Peter Taylor getting stuck into his contacts book to bring in plenty of fresh and talented footballers. Runners-up spot beckons.

Star man: Robbie Threlfall

3. Barnet

(100/1 – 21st)

I wouldn't put anybody off throwing a few quid in the direction of the north London mob at frankly insulting prices with incoming gaffer Mark Stimson bringing with him a mighty new broom. Already they have 10 new faces at Underhill and some decent quality among them.

Star man: Glen Southam

4. Wycombe Wand

(12/1 – relegated from League 1)

After being disappointingly relegated last season, manager Gary Waddock has attempted to freshen things up by bringing in a real mix of precocious talent and older heads. They are a good side that will benefit from Jon-Paul Pittman's goals – play-off candidates.

Star man: Jon-Paul Pittman

5. Burton Albion

(28/1 – 13th)

Albion tend to score a fortune, but leak as many and the summer captures of Darren Moore and Nathan Stanton make real sense. As a result they could sneak into the play-offs.

Star man: Shaun Harrad

6. Aldershot Town

(14/1 favourites – 6th)

Finished like a steam train last season only to be outclassed by Rotherham in play-off semis. Looks like they'll get a chance to redeem themselves this time though with new mananger Kevin Dillon assembling a decent enough squad.

Star man: Luke Guttridge

7. Morecambe

(16/1 – 4th)

They were a joke entry in last season's play-offs with Dagenham putting six past them in the semi-final first leg. They might get a chance to make amends though with Phil Jevons a very good signing from Huddersfield.

Star man: Phil Jevons

8. Northampton Tn

(14/1 – 11th)

It's been going the wrong way for a couple of years now and it's very difficult in a game where momentum counts for everything. Ian Sampson's giving it his best though and the signing of Darlington striker Tadgh Purcell will help matters.

Star man: Liam Davies

9. Gillingham

(9/1 favourites – relegated from League 1)

I was surprised to see the Gills priced up as favourites. Local legend Andy Hessenthaler is back at the helm, but has no magic wand and little in the way of budget judging by low grade acquisitions. They'll be in the top half without pulling up any trees.

Star man: Dennis Oli
