Can only go off last seasons placings so would Dunston, Belper, Carlton and perhaps Consett and Aycliffe be the stronger sides.
Obviously expect Bishops to be up there and maybe Ashington and Heaton Stan to be strong?
Thoughts please?

I expect Emley will come up with a strong squad. 4 going down means that every club has to try and keep away from the trapdoor. I think Stocksbridge PS, Ossett Utd and Bridlington will struggle and unless Heaton Stannington builds a competitive squad then they might struggle.

Seems Belper are making a lot of signings. Cant comment on individual players as not from there, but they're an experienced NPL team and there's supposedly a lot of cash getting thrown around there.
Think Carlton will be up there if they keep their goalkeeper Felix Annan, didn't realise until a few days ago hes actually got two caps for Ghana.
Cleethorpes will be up there I think. Seem to be throwing cash around too and have Pontefract's manager (who's a ****).
Think losing Burlace will hurt Bishops, and honestly thought Gott would still do good at step 4. They'll probably still be up there though.
Aycliffe and Dunston interesting ones as mixed starts but two late season success stories.
Can see Brighouse and Stocksbridge struggling. Brighouse particularly struck me as a very poor side. Out of all the NE sides can see Consett struggling the most, absolutely awful side the two times I saw them.
Edit - just remembered I saw Bradford PA a few months ago and they were absolutely awful. Young kids with their heads down. They'll be eaten alive down here.

I'll be happy with a top 10 finish. Anything above that's a bonus.

Emley lost there top Scorer to Bury, despite him playing NCEL making the lateral move.
Interesting, but then again it's hard to turn down a chance play in front 3/4k a game
