Strengths: The continuity given to the club by the management team of Coleman and Jimmy Bell. They have been in charge for more than a decade and have had to rebuild the team almost every year.
Weaknesses: The various transfer embargos and winding-up orders faced in the last 12 months have severely hampered Stanley's progress.
Key man: Long-serving captain Andy Proctor was part of the side that won promotion to the Football League and is a key member of the Stanley midfield.
Last season: Sixth, beaten in play-off semi-finals.
Strengths: Scoring goals has long been a strength, but Dillon has now brought better organisation and preparation to the squad. The Recreation Ground will be a tough place for any team to get a result.
Weaknesses: The Shots do not have the biggest squad so avoiding injuries could be important, particularly in the key areas of central defence, centre forward and in goal.
Key Man: Striker Marvin Morgan found the net 16 times last season. If the Shots can hang on to him, a promotion push is not out of the question.
Strengths: Stimson has been remoulding the squad, bringing in attacking players in the hope that the extra fire-power means they avoid another relegation battle. There is also a wealth of experience and strong leaders like Gary Breen and Anwar Uddin.
Weaknesses: Much will depend on how the host of new players gel, while 16-goal John O'Flynn has departed for Exeter.
Key man: Striker Steve Kabba has been far from prolific in his career but Stimson will be looking to the former Premier League player to lead the line.
Strengths: No-one knows more about getting teams promoted out of League Two than Taylor. He has led both Wycombe and Hull out of the bottom tier and will hope to do the same in his first full season in charge at Valley Parade.
Weaknesses: Far too often last season, Bradford were undone by their defensive frailties, something that Taylor will be keen to address.
Key Man: Striker James Hanson enjoyed a fairytale first season in League football after his move from Guiseley, ending up as Bradford's top scorer with 13 goals.
Strengths: The additions of Adam Bolder and Darren Moore have given Burton more depth. The manager likes entertaining passing football, and when it flows they will threaten any opposition.
Weaknesses: Conceded too many goals last season to route one delivery through the middle and over the top, but will hope to use signings Moore and Nathan Stanton to deal with that.
Key man: Striker Greg Pearson continues to improve every season. Now he has finished his studies and will be full-time, his fitness will be even better.
Strengths: Knill's side is well organised and have experience at the back in the shape of Efe Sodje and Ben Futcher. The Shakers are also a constant threat at set pieces.
Weaknesses: Bury scored just 29 goals in 23 home league games last season. Only four clubs, including relegated Darlington and Grimsby, scored fewer.
Key man: Striker Andy Bishop suffered an injury-ravaged campaign last season, so will be hoping to regain the form that saw him score 63 goals in his first three years at Gigg Lane.
