All depends on other Clubs who we have with us in the league I expect Disney FC to be right up there and if either Notts County and Chesterfield come up the same.
Some decent teams in the playoffs in L2 and those who miss out will be in the mix.

Then I fancy FGR also in mix at the top and if MK Dons slip through the net they will be top 7 at least. We are facing the possibility of a much more top heavy league next season.

…….but (their is always a but) I would fancy us to do a Stevenage if we nail the recruitment, doesn’t have to be big signing or for a nominal fee, just a good old savy bit of business and never say never kind motto.

I expect us to win more games at home built on keeping the ball and passing it much better than we’ve done this term.

In terms of where we’ll finish? Top half.

To have a very good squad assembled by the opening day of the season with a big improvement in quality.

I liked this comment / reply as you put another angle on our "Town" that being the other teams in the league what /who,we are up against come 2023/24 Season New owners "Rose tinted Spectacles" for us come to mind but  come Kick off new season we are all in the same boat.
So Positively  looking forward to it  the ups and downs,wins and loses are the joy of supporting  "Town" the dream is automatic promotion , even playoffs would be nice ,stay in the league I don't care just wanna be there.
My hometown team !!

Our away form will keep us up again and that’s about it, I imagine we will finish maybe 5 points above the bottom two

Top 7 represents a steady improvement which the club are aiming for.

I learned long ago not to have expectations. Hopes are different and I hope we make the top 7 or better.

At the start of this season, I said I thought we could make the top ten and with a bit of luck and a fair wind, we might make the play offs. Too many draws cost us a lot of points and not having a player or two that could finish the chances we created. I think the stats showed we created plenty, but didn't take enough of them to be a threat to the top end of the league.

I didn't see any team that looked head and shoulders above us, and I don't think we are that far off. A good window needed to make us more ruthless, so let's hope for one.

I think you are spot on with this summary. The circumstances surrounding our promotion always meant that we would be disadvantaged and playing catch up against the top runners for promotion out of this league. The fact that, despite some poor and lacklustre, home performances,  we have remained in contention for a play-off place until fairly recently gives me hope for next season.

We could still finish 10th if results go our way, but we could equally end up 15th.

Not too bad all in all given where we were at 2 seasons ago at this stage with relegation looming.

Quoted from Mappers
I am expecting a shot at top 7 minimum , I wondered what others expectations are .


I wouldn't go as far as saying expect, but I want us all to aim for it.

I will get lynched for this but I won't be calling for Hurst to go if there is a bump in the road next season. Progress/improvement doesn't go up in a straight line, sometimes there are bumps in the road.
