Looking at the squad we've assembled so far, I think we lack a bit of depth in quality in certain areas to be outright promotion contenders. One or two key players pick up injuries or suspensions and I think we may be a bit light.

Two or three more quality signings, a left sided wing back definitely, a central midfielder probably and/or striker and I can't see us finishing outside the top ten..

Whether we get them or still have budget left is the big question. If permanent targets are missed, maybe we'll dabble in the loan market when teams higher up the pyramid finally complete their transfer business..

Injury crisis apart, still can't see us finishing in the bottom half, even if we don't make another signing..

What gives me hope is that in December last season we were on the edge of the play offs despite being very very average and unable to score.
It seems MJ has added more quality, greater motivational skills and more tactical awareness. If we can get a striker in we can achieve my first objective with a degree of comfort - better than last year
After that it could be fun!!

Honestly, I'd just take us being comfortable... strong mid-table to outside the playoffs. With the aim of just building a stable, core squad and taking that into the following season and having a serious chance of promotion to league one. But I've voted for play-offs as I'd like to think that was achievable this season.

I voted mid table but in football nothing surprises me, too well organised this season to struggle lower mid table, but under the present regime playoff push after Xmas is a possibility.

As long as we finish a place or two above the Chelts and Veggie boys I will be happy

I voted play offs ... the 2 assistants brought in are doing a great job I’m told , interesting sessions , good communication skills , really passionate basically everything being done is ultra professional for a change that all coupled with MJ guidance .  Also told we will be going for wins not sitting back and hopefully taking the game to the opposition, obviously this means games will be lost due to being more open but on the flip side more games should be won because of our quality... all from a player this before this conversation I would have gone mid table at best but my optimism as grown UTM
