So what is going to be classed as a good 22/23 season.  Storm through league 2 to promotion as champs?  A playoff spot and let the lottery commence?  A solid top ten finish or just to stay up?

In my mind we have the first real shoots of optimism since…… well, before you know who.  Personally I’d be happy to just stay up but, with the fantastic enthusiasm from Andrew and Jason, the money where the mouth is from the fans, PH’s astuteness and tactics and the best of the promotion winning squad retained?  Well, I just have a feeling, we’re in for another bumper season.

Top ten probably after keeping the bulk of the squad together, play offs the aim if we start well.

Realistic is 1st. We haven't got Fenty anymore and we are Grimsby in division 4. All those wasted years under his regime, we haven't got time to waste.

For me a mid table finish and consolidating our place back in EFL would be 👍

That said, it’s not beyond the realms we have a really good season..who knows..play offs would be over achieving imho, but it isn’t impossible.

It’s going to be a tough start for us..2/3 weeks behind other sides through no fault of our own. The first fixture is hard to say the least. See where we are after September ..think we’ll improve as we go.

I’m going to predict 10th. I’d snap your hand off at that now.

I want us to be champions of the league but realistically we’ve got a good shout at the being in or around the playoffs with what Hurst is putting together

PH took Shrewsbury from relegation contenders to play off finalists in less than 2 seasons.

I'm optimistic for at least top 10 and hopefully top 7.

Sadly, in Bradford, Salford and Stockport (have I missed anyone?), we have some sides that’ll be able to throw a lot more money at it than us. As we know, cash doesn’t guarantee success… but it certainly gives you an advantage.

So, I’d be happy with top half, ecstatic with playoffs and I’ll run towards Scunthorpe with my ears cupped (think McAtee towards the Wrexham fans) if we gain automatic promotion.

Looking at the "squad" Hurst is assembling, I'm hoping for the play offs but if we finish top half, I'll take that, with a view to certainly being play off/automatic contenders in 2023/2024..

Last year I though top 7 would be a very creditable result. I think the same this year. I would be happy with top 10 as we are building steadily and the aim is to improve the squad in every window.

Of course if we did finish in the top 7 it’s the playoffs and as we know, anything can happen then…..
