I haven't changed my expectations since 5th June. Two words "Going UP".

Expectations at the start of the season were really just to stay up and not get dragged into a relegation fight if we can help it. I'd like to think we can look up rather than over our shoulder now, but it's still very early days and we could have easily been 3-0 down at Rochdale who still haven't picked up a win. Watched their highlights earlier and Quigley looked a real handful, scored 2 and assisted the other.

As a lot of others have said, anything over 14th is a good season.

Quoted from MuddyWaters


Worth remembering that we’re 5 unbeaten without McAtee. We couldn’t manage without him last year.


The thing is, come next season he won't be here, and I'm guessing that Smith won't be here also, It's highly probable that Taylor and Pearson won't make the squad next season too, so could it be possible that we will be looking to replace them in the January window?

Is it time to think about putting some ice on the Champagne?

Based on last season and replacing Scunny, I'd just be happy to take Lincolns place this season and Hulls the following season. 😁UTM

Being positive and optimistic we might need to replace other players who aren't League 1 quality when we get promoted. While the squad is more than adequate for the challenge this year I wonder if some are up to League 1 standards. There is a large gap between NL and League 1 so I hope most of the squad are up to it.

I initially expected us to start strongly as the short closed season will have kept our fitness levels up, with very little time to get unfit, along with the momentum from the end of last season and the club still being on a high. I then thought we would tail off towards the end of the season as fatigue and injuries set in, due to the short pre-season.

With the excellent additions to the squad this season, and now having a deep squad with plenty of cover in most areas, I don't see why this momentum can't continue to the end of the season and fatigue shouldn't be a problem now. My expectations have increased from a mid-table finish to a play-off push.
