League One preview

The new season kicks off on Saturday, and we begin our countdown with a club-by-club guide.

A club-by-club guide ahead of the new League One season

Doncaster Rovers, Coventry City and Portsmouth will drop down from the Championship and join League One this season. Rovers boss Dean Saunders will be hoping to put a nightmare start to his Keepmoat reign behind him and get the South Yorkshire club promoted at the first time of asking. Sky Blues boss Andy Thorn has recruited well with John Fleck, Kevin Kilbane and Adam Barton adding plenty of talent and experience to their midfield. Portsmouth on the other hand will begin the campaign 10 points adrift of the rest and a season-long struggle both on and off the pitch looks a certainty. Sheffield United are the favourites to win the league outright this season, not a surprise considering how close the Blades came last year. Only a penalty shoot-out stopped them from progressing last season and Danny Wilson will be hoping new signings Tony McMahon and Matt Hill will help them improve. MK Dons pulled off a coup when they managed to persuade ex-England international Alan Smith to sign for the club. The midfielder doesn't have the legs he used to but his experience and heart is hard to match. New signing Ryan Lowe will be looking to get himself on the score sheet from the off and help the Dons into the automatic places this time around. This season's surprise packages for League One could be Bournemouth, after manager Paul Groves dramatically improved the squad over the summer. Josh McQuoid and Lewis Grabban have been brought in to cause opposition defences havoc, while Eunan O'Kane and Richard Hughes will provide energy and experience to a midfield. The Cherries are good value to get promoted. Walsall will hope to avoid the drop for the third successive season after finishing 19th last term. Boss Dean Smith has had a busy summer with a big overhaul of his playing squad, and he will be hoping it pays off come next May. Swindon Town, Preston North End and Notts County all have good chances to achieve promotion should they hit the ground running. Swindon will be hoping for a successive promotion under the charismatic Paulo di Canio. Graham Westley and Keith Curle have both made big changes to their respective squads with the pair hoping they can make the play-offs at least unlike last year.

BOURNEMOUTH

Manager: Paul Groves Position last season: 11th Nickname: The Cherries Ground: Goldsands Stadium Capacity: 10,700 Players in: Josh McQuoid (Millwall, player exchange), Lewis Grabban (Rotherham, undisclosed), Frank Demouge (FC Utrecht, undisclosed), Eunan O'Kane (Torquay, undisclosed), Miles Addison (Derby, undisclosed), Richard Hughes (Portsmouth, free) Players out: Warren Cummings (AFC Wimbledon, free), Mathieu Baudry and Michael Symes (Leyton Orient, free), Lyle Taylor (Falkirk, free), Jordan Seabright (released), Shaun Cooper (Crawley, free) Key man: Harry Arter Chances: Groves will embark on his first full season in charge at Bournemouth bidding to steer the club towards another top-half finish. They were on course to make the play-offs last season before a late dip in form. Sky Bet odds: 12/1

BRENTFORD

Manager: Uwe Rosler Position last season: 9th Nickname: The Bees Ground: Griffin Park Capacity: 12,763 Players in: Harlee Dean (Southampton, free), Adam Forshaw (Everton, free), Farid El Alagui (Falkirk, free), Tony Craig (Millwall, undisclosed), Stuart Dallas (Crusaders, free), Leon Redwood (Brighton, free) Players out: Karleigh Osborne (Millwall, free), Marcus Bean (Colchester, free), Liam Bellamy (Ebbsfleet, free), Sam Wood (Wycombe, free), Craig Woodman (Exeter, free), Pim Balkestein (AFC Wimbledon, free) Key man: Sam Saunders Chances: The Bees flirted with the play-offs last season and manager Rosler will be expecting a genuine promotion tilt this term. Craig will bring some much-needed experience to the defence while winger Dallas could prove a shrewd capture. Sky Bet odds: 14/1

BURY

Manager: Peter Shirtliff (caretaker) Position last season: 14th Nickname: The Shakers Ground: Gigg Lane Capacity: 11,840 Players in: Trevor Carson (Sunderland, free), Lateef Elford-Alliyu (West Brom, free), Marcus Marshall (Rotherham, free), Adam Lockwood (Doncaster, free), Craig Jones (TNS, undisclosed) Players out: Patrick Cregg (St Johnstone, free), Andy Haworth (Falkirk, free), Ritchie Branagan, Zachary Rothwell, Danny Hudson (all released), Mike Grella (Scunthorpe United, free), Shaun Harrad (Cheltenham, season-long loan) Key man: Steven Schumacher Chances: Impressed many by staying up with reasonable comfort on their return to the third tier last term and survival will once again be the primary aim. Sky Bet odds: 50/1

CARLISLE

Manager: Greg Abbott Position last season: 8th Nickname: The Cumbrians Ground: Brunton Park Capacity: 18,202 Players in: Mike Edwards (Notts County, free), Danny Cadamarteri (Huddersfield, free) Players out: Craig Curran and Stephen O'Halloran (released), Francois Zoko (Notts Co, free) Key man: Lee Miller Chances: The Cumbrians went close to the play-offs last season and boss Abbott will be targeting a top-six finish. Sky bet odds: 28/1

COLCHESTER

Manager: John Ward Position last season: 10th Nickname: The U's Ground: Weston Homes Community Stadium Capacity: 10,084 Players in: Marcus Bean (Brentford, free), Freddie Sears (West Ham, free), Clinton Morrison (Sheffield Wednesday, free) Players out: Kayode Odejayi (Rotherham, free), Steven Gillespie (Fleetwood, undisclosed), Ashley Vincent (Port Vale, free), Lloyd James (Leyton Orient, free), Ben Williams (Hibernian, free) Key man: Anthony Wordsworth Chances: Colchester have made useful additions to their squad as they attempt to build on last season's 10th-placed finish. The signings of Sears and Morrison have signalled the intentions of manager Ward who will be targeting a play-off place. Sky Bet odds: 33/1

COVENTRY

Manager: Andy Thorn Position last season: 23rd in Championship Nickname: Sky Blues Ground: Ricoh Arena Capacity: 32,609 Players in: Stephen Elliott (Hearts, free), John Fleck (Rangers, undisclosed), Kevin Kilbane (Hull, free), Kevin Malaga (Nice, free), William Edjenguele (Panetolikos, free), Callum Ball (Derby, season-long loan), Reece Brown (Manchester United, season-long loan), Adam Barton (Preston, undisclosed) Players out: Clive Platt (Northampton, free), James McPake (Hibernian, free), Martin Cranie, Sammy Clingan, Hermann Hreidarsson and Danny Ireland (all released), Gael Bigirimana (Newcastle, undisclosed), Freddy Eastwood (Southend, free), Richard Keogh (Derby, undisclosed), Gary Deegan (Hibernian, undisclosed) Key man: Gary McSheffrey Chances: Coventry will be vying for an automatic promotion place following last season's relegation from the Championship. Manager Thorn has overseen a busy summer of 18 players moving in and out of the Midlands club who will be reliant on McSheffrey. Sky Bet odds: 11/1

CRAWLEY

Manager: Richie Barker Position last season: 3rd in League Two Nickname: The Red Devils Ground: Broadfield Stadium Capacity: 5,996 Players in: Paul Jones (Peterborough, free), Mat Sadler (Walsall, free), Nicky Adams (Rochdale, undisclosed), Mark Connolly (Bolton, free), Shaun Cooper (Bournemouth, free) Players out: Scott Shearer (Rotherham, free), Dean Howell (Fleetwood, free), John Dempster (Mansfield, free), Richard Brodie (Morecambe, loan), Pablo Mills (released), Glenn Wilson (Gateshead, free) Key man: Kyle McFadzean Chances: An odd summer in Sussex as new boss Sean O'Driscoll came and went without taking charge of a single match. The big spenders were anticipating a second promotion push but the managerial uncertainty will not have helped their chances. Sky Bet odds: 18/1

CREWE

Manager: Steve Davis Position last season: 7th in League Two Nickname: Alex, the Railwaymen Ground: Gresty Road Capacity: 10,153 Players in: Mark Ellis (Torquay, undisclosed), Gregor Robertson (Chesterfield, free), Mathias Pogba (Wrexham, nominal), Abdul Osman (AO Kerkyra, free), Michael West (Ebbsfleet, nominal) Players out: Nick Powell (Manchester United, undisclosed), David Artell (Port Vale, free), Shaun Miller (Sheffield United, undisclosed), Lee Bell, Carl Martin, Jordan Brown, Danny Shelley, Jason Oswell, Caspar Hughes, Michael Koral, Danny Ting, Jordan Connerton (all released) Key man: Mathias Pogba Chances: Rookie manager Davis surprised many by leading the Alex to League Two play-off glory and his vibrant young squad will have the odds stacked against them once more. Sky Bet odds: 40/1

DONCASTER

Manager: Dean Saunders Position last season: 24th in Championship Nickname: Rovers Ground: Keepmoat Stadium Capacity: 15,231 Players in: David Syers (Bradford, free), David Cotterill (Barnsley, free), Robbie Blake (Bolton, free), Rob Jones (Sheffield Wednesday, free) Players out: Sam Hird (Chesterfield, free), James Hayter (Yeovil, free), Adam Lockwood (Bury, free), El-Hadji Diouf, Pascal Chimbonda, Simon Gillett, John Oster, Fabien Robert, Giles Barnes, Oscar Radford and Habib Beye (all released), George Friend (Middlesbrough, undisclosed), James O'Connor (Derby, undisclosed), James Baxendale (Walsall, free) Key man: James Coppinger Chances: Banked on ex-Premier League players to keep them in the Championship last season but it did not work. The likes of Diouf, Chimbonda and Beye - as well as other key players - have left the Keepmoat meaning boss Saunders has had to rebuild and they could find the going tough. Sky Bet odds: 14/1

HARTLEPOOL

Manager: Neale Cooper Position last season: 13th Nickname: Pools Ground: Victoria Park Capacity: 7,856 Players in: Jonathan Franks (Middlesbrough, free), Simon Walton (Plymouth, free), Steve Howard (Leicester, free) Players out: Gary Liddle (Notts County, free), James Brown (Gateshead, free), Adam Boyd (Celtic Nation, free), Colin Larkin, Steve Haslam, Callum Hassan (all released), Nolberto Solano (retired) Key man: Peter Hartley Chances: Decent summer signings suggest Pools can mount a play-off challenge if the youngsters can repeat last season's form. Sky Bet offers: 50/1

LEYTON ORIENT

Sky Bet odds: 66/1

MK DONS

Manager: Karl Robinson Position last season: 5th Nickname: The Dons Ground: stadium:mk Capacity: 22,000 Players in: Jon Otsemobor (Sheff Weds, free), Alan Smith (Newcastle, free), Ryan Lowe (Sheffield Wednesday, undisclosed) Players out: George Williams (Fulham, tribunal), Tom Flanagan (Gillingham, loan) Key man: Dean Bowditch Chances: After play-off heartache in three of the past four campaigns, many feel this will be the season when MK Dons finally gain promotion. Robinson has kept last season's squad together and added the likes of Smith and the club could go up as champions. Sky Bet odds: 13/2

NOTTS COUNTY

Manager: Keith Curle Position last season: 7th Nickname: The Magpies Ground: Meadow Lane Capacity: 20,229 Players in: Enoch Showunmi (Tranmere, free), Bartosz Bialkowski (Southampton, free), Gary Liddle (Hartlepool, free), Dean Leacock (Leyton Orient, free), Jamal Campbell-Ryce (Bristol City, free), Joss Labadie (Tranmere, free), Manny Smith (Walsall, free), Yoann Arquin (Hereford, free), Francois Zoko (Carlisle, free) Players out: Ishmel Demontagnac (Northampton, free), Ben Burgess (Tranmere, free), Mike Edwards (Carlisle, free), Stuart Nelson (Gillingham, free), Charlie Allen (Gillingham, free), Stephen Hunt, Sam Sodje, Liam Chilvers, Karl Hawley, Robert Burch, Jude Stirling, John Spicer, Jon Harley, George Nicholas (all released) Key man: Lee Hughes Chances: Narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season. Curle's first full campaign in charge will surely see them challenge for at least a top-six spot again, with automatic promotion a possibility. Sky Bet odds: 14/1

OLDHAM

Manager: Paul Dickov Position last season: 16th Nickname: The Latics Ground: Boundary Park Capacity: 10,638 Players in: Connor Brown (Sheffield United, free), Daniel Taylor (Newcastle, free), Jonathan Grounds (Middlesbrough, free), Lee Croft (Derby, season loan), Liam Jacob (Manchester United, free), Cliff Byrne (Scunthorpe United, free), Jordan Slew (Blackburn, loan) Players out: Ryan Brooke (Altrincham, free), Kieran Lee (Sheffield Wednesday, free), Keanu Marsh-Brown and Reuben Reid (Yeovil, free), Chris Taylor (Millwall, free), Zander Diamond (Burton, free), Paul Black (Tranmere, free), Djeny Bembo-Leta, Matt Carr, Phil McGrath, Josh Parker, Shefki Kuqi, Filipe Morais (all released) Key man: Dean Furman Chances: Expected to struggle near the wrong end of the table, but Dickov insists his streamlined squad have enjoyed an impressive pre-season campaign including a 2-1 win over Manchester City. Sky Bet odds: 50/1

PORTSMOUTH

Manager: Michael Appleton Position last season: 22nd in Championship Nickname: Pompey Ground: Fratton Park Capacity: 21,100 Players in: Simon Eastwood (free) Players out: Jason Pearce (Leeds, £500,000), Joel Ward (Crystal Palace, £400,000), Stephen Henderson (West Ham, undisclosed), Kelvin Etuhu (Barnsley, free), Hayden Mullins (Birmingham, undisclosed), Marko Futacs (Leicester, undisclosed compensation), Ricardo Rocha, Benjani Mwaruwari (both released), Jamie Ashdown (Leeds, free), Erik Huseklepp (SK Brann, free), Luke Varney (Leeds United, free), Greg Halford (Nottingham Forest, free), David Norris (Leeds, free), Aaron Mokoena (Bidvest Wits, free), David Kitson (released), Richard Hughes (Bournemouth, free), Liam Lawrence, free) Key man: Ashley Harris Chances: If Portsmouth are still in existence by the time the season kicks off it will be a triumph. But they will start on minus 10 and, with hardly any senior players, another relegation looks inevitable. Sky Bet odds: 33/1

PRESTON

Manager: Graham Westley Position last season: 15th Nickname: The Lilywhites Ground: Deepdale Capacity: 24,500 Players in: John Welsh (Tranmere, free), Shane Cansdell-Sherriff (Shrewsbury, free), Nicky Wroe (Shrewsbury, free), Paul Huntington (Yeovil, free), David Buchanan (Tranmere, free), David Amoo (Liverpool, free), Richard Wright (Ipswich, free), Scott Laird and John Mousinho (Stevenage, free), Lee Holmes (Southampton, free), Jeffrey Monakana (Arsenal, free), Keith Keane (Luton, free), Lee Trundle (Neath, free) Players out: Nicky Hunt (Rotherham, free), David Gray (Stevenage, free), Paul Parry (Shrewsbury, free), Barry Nicholson (Fleetwood, undisclosed), Paul Coutts (Derby, undisclosed), Conor McLaughlin (Fleetwood, free), Sean Clucas (Bristol Rovers, free), Scott Leather (Altrincham, free), Jamie Douglas (Dungannon Swifts, free), George Miller (Accrington Stanley, free), Daniel Devine, Ian Ashbee, Michael McLellan, Alex Billington, Andreas Arestidou, Iain Turner, Dominic Comrie, Aaron Brown, Richard Wright and Juvhel Tsoumou (all released), Neil Mellor (retired), Adam Barton (Coventry, undisclosed) Key man: Thorsten Stuckmann Chances: The Deepdale faithful will expect results following Westley's ruthless overhaul although a radically altered line-up may need time to knit together and find themselves off the pace. Sky Bet odds: 11/1

Sky Bet odds: 33/1

SHEFFIELD UNITED

Manager: Danny Wilson Position last season: 3rd Nickname: The Blades Ground: Bramall Lane Capacity: 32,702 Players in: Darryl Westlake (Walsall, tribunal), Tony McMahon (Middlesbrough, free), Matt Hill (Blackpool, free), Shaun Miller (Crewe, undisclosed) Players out: Connor Brown (Oldham, free), Seamus Conneely (Sligo Rovers, free), Marc Warren (Airdrie United, free), Ched Evans, Steve Simonsen, James Beattie, Johnny Ertl, Andy Taylor, Jack Adams, Corey Gregory, Shane Murray (all released) Key man: Chris Porter Chances: Blades expect to challenge for automatic promotion and will be one of the teams to beat, but need to find a new goalscorer.

The Shrews were the second-best side in League Two last season, and Turner will be hoping that confidence will lead to early points. Sky Bet odds: 40/1

Manager Smith has seen a large turnover of players at the club as he hopes to find a winning solution. Sky Bet odds: 80/1

YEOVIL

Manager: Gary Johnson Position last season: 17th Nickname: The Glovers Ground: Huish Park Capacity: 9,665 Players in: Keanu Marsh-Brown (Oldham, free), Sam Foley (Newport County, free), Reuben Reid (Oldham, free), Jamie McAllister (Bristol City, free), James Hayter (Doncaster, free), Lewis Young (Northampton, free), Nathan Ralph (Peterborough, free), Gozie Ugwu (Reading, six-month loan), Byron Webster (Northampton, free), Marek Stech (West Ham, free), Rohan Ince (Chelsea, six-month loan) Players out: Andy Williams (Swindon, free), Paul Huntington (Preston, free), Billy Gibson (Cambridge, free), Kieran Agard (Rotherham United, free), Rhys Baggridge, Lewis Clarke and Rob Clowes (released), Bondz N'Gala (Stevenage, free) Key man: James Hayter Chances: Johnson enjoyed a successful first spell in charge at Yeovil, winning the FA Trophy in 2002 as well as securing Football League status for the first time in the club's history. He then led them to the League Two title in 2004-05 but another season of struggle beckons for the Glovers. Sky Bet odds: 66/1
