The bookies have us 18th favourites to win the league so they aren't particularly optimistic either.
The bookies don't care one way or the other - we're 18th favourites because we haven't made many signings and so nobody has put many bets on us. Might bung 20 quid on now. Who is giving the best odds for promotion, though, as I don't expect us to be title contenders regardless? |

Or you could have just been told today you have been made redundant just like me.
Be positive and for what it's worth the signings so far are fine with me as I'm sure more pace and power is on its way.
GTFC is keeping me positive .

I am normally a glass half full person, but at the moment I just cannot get myself into a positive frame of mind about the coming season. I am not seeing "guaranteed" top end of the league players on the books. A lot with potential and 2 or 3 seasoned pros.Some contracted players who did not do it for us last season. I am struggling to see a style of play or formation forming despite having plenty of "bodies in the building". I see a lot of experimenting again, no stability which is likely to lead to inconsistency.I am as keen as anyone for Slade to succeed but I don't see it at present and am a bit underwhelmed with the players we now have, Don't worry I am not suicidal but could do with a dose of optimism. All help will be appreciated.
It could be a lot, lot worse. Had Bignot still been in charge we would have had 43 incomings and 1 outgoing with the majority being from Solihull. It is just a lull before it kicks off proper, and it is nice to think we have two experienced men at the helm who will know as far as it is possible to know, what we need and where to get them. We will be going all out for promotion from August so I for one am looking forward to it. |

Quoted from 75
I'm still staggered we allowed Shaun Pearson to leave while we have re-signed two 36 year olds.
Dembele hasn't ever played a league game so us unknown really. Rose? I work in Mansfield and have heard very average reports about him, but we'll give him a go. The winger from relegated Port Vale? Again, we'll give him a go.
I'm ready for a break from football, Town in particular. Last season was largely a yawnfest, no real chance of promotion under that clown Bignot, never in danger either. We do have some good players, Osborne, Jones in particular (fair one, credit to Bignot there) so there is some sort of base.
I think Slade will get us sorted, but I wonder how much ambition there really is to win promotion, it's only div 4, are we waiting on the new ground?
To be fair to MB his brief , when he was appointed, was to ensure league status and build for the future. I believe he was genuinely trying to achieve this and brought in players , like you mentioned, for next season. The two things that fans gripe about his approach was his experimenting in formations ( fair point ) and his signing of Gunning. But seeing as he only signed Gunning to the end of the season we don't know if he would have become a permanent signing. |

Hope you get a job lined up mate, did you know this redundancy was coming? Must be a difficult time, hope you get sorted out soon. |

This time of year is football Limbo. I'm sure there will be talks or deals being sorted but unable to release the news due to current contracts or certain players waiting see what's on offer.
Itching to get a bit of news but it's just a case of bide your time.
