Town are 10/1 to get promoted at 10/1 to get relegated. Hand on heart which is the best bet? Bear in mind that 2 sides go down and 4 from 7 go up. We spent most of last season in 14th place, we are currently 13th place on alphabetical order!

I really cant see us getting relegated, there are more than enough worse teams in the league for us to be safe. So for me more likely to go up.

I feel a bit twitchy about it in all honesty. Worry that we feel we may be quite dependent on a midfielder playing up front for our goals. Also very aware that the season doesn't start for another month and plenty of time to get another striker in. Think the odds are about right.

I may regret this but I can't see anyway we will be relegated.

I'd say we have a better squad now than at the end of last season when we finished in good play off form.  

Definitely top 10, should challenge for play offs.  Higher if RS finishes off with 2-3 good signings and gets the team playing to potential

We certainly have enough quality as it is without anymore additions (except a left back). However, we will need those additions to make us a promotion prospect, so we certainly have more potential to be a promotion side than a relegation one.

There were times last season when I thought we were crap, and there were other times I thought we were top 7 material. At the moment we have the remnants of two manager's players, plus a sprinkling of newcomers. It could go either way, we'll know after the first two or three games which way it's likely to go.

I feel like being a good organised team is enough for play offs, without having to be particularly eye catching. And i feel Slade will achieve this.

In Slade and Wilko we've got a management duo that are undeniably better than Hurst/Doig and Bignot/Moore. So for me, the signs point to us doing better than we did last season.

The thing is, Bogle played such a huge part in any successes we had last season. I don't think we're going to replace him as we have more goals spread through the team now, but we obviously still need a striker.

I'd disagree that Slade/Wilkie are better than Hurst and Doig, who has more promotions to their name? Who is managing in a higher league? Therefore I reckon we'll be in the 10th to 15th part of the league again, unless he can sign a couple of gems.
