I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

No idea at this stage what this squad is capable of in League 2. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Solid enough in the tackle and both look like they have decent engines. Compared to what we had last year in Tait and Robertson, time will tell if they're are an upgrade. Back of the net

Andrew definitely a better left back and footballer. "You should do what you love while you can"

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

Very neat and tidy in possession. Lack workrate (might be down to preseason, though) Often look exposed defensively Lacking a Striker (and seem to be getting desperate in finding one) If you were to offer me a mid table finish now, I'd bite your hand off. This is purely based on preseason, though. It's not uncommon for preseason to bear no resemblance to the full season. It is a new squad with many new faces, so they may just need more time to gel.

He is re-building for a new level, so no concerns from me as yet.

We have moved up a league and there is no way we will storm it. PH is building a new squad and a mid table finish would be a good achievement, especially looking at how other promoted teams have faired in league 2. Bristol's achievement was the exception not the rule.
