Hope for at least 2 more signings to strengthen defence and midfield that I think we need to have a shot at the top half. As is, I expect us to score a few more goals if the new strikers avoid injury but still struggle to find enough consistency to get involved. We might improve our league position a little so I expect us to move between 15 - 20th and hopefully stay out of real relegation trouble.

It’s not really enough is it for a club of our support and history at this level, but only investment, regime change and the signing of some better quality players can change that I think.

I'm more positive than the last 2 seasons and if we can keep James Hanson fit, the young lads Rose, Clifton, Pollock &Wright should improve as the season develops, think we could be pushing for the plY offs.

Hanson should be enough to see us mid to lower half...


still don't see the middle having enough creativity or flair

I'd take a season of more wins, more goals and less inconsistencies...my expectations are to sit more mid table throughout the season and relegation battles being a thing of the past...oh, and to be above scunny...

That’s exactly my expectation of what our objective and ambition should be. Absolutely.

On our way out of the league I lost count of the amount of teams that beat us by the odd goal that were nothing special but had a solid team spirit. We had some good young ins last season but at times got bullied , looking at the size and shape of us this preseason that won't happen this year.
My only doubt is , along with others the missing attacking flair. Ogbu I fear will take a good while to settle so a fit Vernham might do it.

I think we'll score more goals which will go a long way towards pushing us up the league.  We talk about creativity, but by the same token, there are a lot of goals scored from set pieces and crosses in this league (last season we were on the receiving end of a lot of them) so if that clicks with Hanson and Green then we could do alright.  Other teams have also improved and there are a few bigger (well, better financed anyway) teams in the league, both having come up and who have come down.

Could be anywhere from 7th to 22nd, but I'd imagine we're more likely be in the 10th-16th bracket.
