Ide...Promises goals
vowed to make his mark in League Two this season.


The pacey forward has said he is targeting at least 15 goals this year but is confident he has plenty more in him. He bagged in excess of 20 goals for the youth team two seasons ago and it is a feat he hopes to replicate on the Football League stage.


He looks a bright talent, and one which could cause some problems over the coming months.


This young man really does have everything, already proving he can make and score goals.


Accrington Stanley's Shaun Whalley is also being tipped for big things this season.


The 20-year-old was limited to just 14 starts last year and as a result only found the net twice. But, with a bigger first team role anticipated this season, he could yet be one of the divisions rising stars.


He has already shown his pedigree with a goal earning Stanley a precious point against promoted Bristol Rovers in front of his home crowd last year.


He is renowned for being a confidence player and the more minutes he gets the more he'll deliver. Watch the space.


18-year-old Matt Done could too be in line for a ground breaking season.


The young winger bedded in well to the Wrexham first team last year playing a key role as the Dragons avoided the drop, but the real test lies ahead.


It is now that the Welshmen will look for him to take centre stage and fulfil has much publicised potential.


He is being watched closely by Liverpool and Southampton, so every performance could count towards a dream move up the leagues. If he keeps his feet on the ground who knows where he'll be this time next year.

's Greg Tansey looks to be hot property in League Two as well. He made five appearances for the Hatters at the back end of last season and despite a trial at Liverpool ahs committed his short-term future to the club.


He is an exciting midfield player who will be hoping to establish himself with an extended run in the play-off chasing side.


Boyd...The lower leagues 'Dennis Bergkamp'
He is an energetic middle man who covers every inch of the park. He looks in line to be a vital asset under the County leadership.


And finally, Peterborough United look to have invested wisely in tricky winger George Boyd.


The ex-Stevenage man signed for Posh in January and already has six goals to his name. He can play all across the middle and even in behind the strikers.


During his days at Boro, he was known as Conference's answer to Dennis Bergkamp. He is expected to flourish next year setting the division alight with his phenomenal skill and touch.
