11 new signings now in for Mansfield, I think?

Must have really needed a good clear out !

Chester have re-signed striker Ross Hannah on a two-year contract following his release by Barrow.

Hannah, 31, scored just five goals in 32 appearances for the Cumbrian club last season in the National League.

But the former Bradford City and Grimsby Town forward now rejoins the club where he was top scorer with 22 goals in 42 league games in 2015-16.

31 and a2 year deal, he's done well there. Really liked Hannah when he played for us shame he never quite got to grips with the off side rule.

I was looking at the odds last night, Mansfield are clear favourites. They've made some brilliant signings but can they gel as a team in their first season together?
I''ll still be putting Grimsby in my bet for promotion regardless

Cambridge seem to have some good signings so far too and would seem to be a threat next season.

Last time I checked we were 18th favourites for the league which seems incredibly harsh, Lincoln were 3rd favourites.

I really can't see us winning the league unless three or four major signings take place.
I might be having a cheeky fiver on us to finish in the top six though.  
Unfortunately we have lost the momentum of getting back into the league and are kind of starting again, but without so much 'positivity'. I'll be happy with a top half finish with a proper push in the 18/19 season.

Slade will need to prove that his first team have a spine to it. because of hanging contracts, we may still have to suffer another transition season before final clearouts unless he and Wilko can motivate those still here but out on the fringes of selection.

With Pearson and Disley gone, he will need to improve players in both positions to stop early ridicule about wrong decisions.

Only one goalkeeper in place and no real goal threat proven up front as yet - this is the central spine that will need to be contracted for pre-season for this wonderful term - gelling !

Pace and power have both been lacking in the last 2 seasons, regardless of the stumble over the line to promotion. we have seemed to lose to poor teams, but galvanize for one offs against the better teams - consistency is needed.

We had too many one good game in three or four players, even conceding that we hire at a certain financial level - Danny Andrew being a good exception last year but a risk that paid off.

Whilst I agree we lacked the physical attributes, I don't agree about the one good game in three/four.  The problem was the inconsistency with tactics and starting eleven.  Make no mistake, last year was a missed opportunity to achieve back-to-back promotions.  A settled side from January onwards should have easily finished top 7.
