Hello and welcome to not the top 20 podcasts, mid-season review of League One.

0:30.3

What we're doing this Christmas is taking a look back at the first half of the season,

0:35.1

rating each team out of 10 for what we've seen so far, talking about

0:40.0

some of the things we like or don't like about what we've seen this season from each

0:43.8

individual team, and then a prediction of sorts, whether they will finish higher, lower, or

1:52.7

George, they are 19th, as we record, with 20 points from 20 games.

How do you rate that as a first half-ish of the campaign?

2:04.8

I would give it a seven, which is probably quite surprisingly high.

2:09.3

My eyebrows shut up.
