Was happy with consolidation before the season started but after what I've seen so far I see no reason why we can't make the play-offs.

One point outside the play-offs with a game in hand as it stands.

Hurst really has got us working as a unit and we are only going to get better.

Consolidation would still be good though IMO.

Automatic promotion. Although I'd like another weekend in London following town  

All joking aside I stick with what I've always said. If we're within touching distance of the play offs with a couple of game remaining it's been a good season... But... I do have a funny (good) feeling about this season.

I want to not be looking over our shoulders. I would like to get to the end of the season with an effective alternative to the departing McAtee rather than relying on that person coming in next summer.

Discipline, team spirit and a will to win means anything is possible.

On today's performance we look a really good, well drilled side.

There were a couple of iffy moments, of our own making, but other than that we were ever in trouble.

We should easily be top half and with a good shot at better IMHO.

In the simplest terms - haven’t really changed my ‘expectations’. This is a tough league. More competitive than some might think. I want us to establish ourselves and be competitive. If we can build a play off campaign this season, that’d be great. That’s a hope, not an expectation. With these owners and management team it’s clear we will be constantly looking to evolve and improve. So long as the team give their all, and the staff strive for high standards I’ll be happy. And I am.
It’s brilliant - the values and ethos in this club. So much more aspirational, strategic, informed etc than the previous regime.

It's a very tough league but have to say we've looked great especially in the more recent fixtures, and I think the players who came through the door on deadline day will massively help us. I will be happy with anything that isn't relegation, but I truly believe we have a decent shot at play offs

I think last years outlook is the best way forward. Emphasis on optimism rather than expectation.

I don't normally bother with any league except the one that Notts are in but I took a wander over to League Two and was pleasantly surprised to see Grimsby just outside the playoffs,that's a fantastic start to the season and looks like you've started where you left off last season, there's a long way to go yet of course but as long as you stop in the league come May then I would see it as a success... But there's nothing wrong with eyeing up a playoff place though
