Interesting to see how much league experience our squad actually has. A few seasons ago we had only a couple of players that had significant experience playing in the football league.

No body rates our chances but we might surprise a few. With Luton and Rotherham having massive points deductions we certainly dont need to worry going down! I think there will be a lot of apathy in L2 this season with the relegation slots looking (almost) filled; so if we can avoid this, get off to a fligher and the new strikers get amongst the goals, we might just have a chance of the playoffs. ;)

Roll on Saturday!!

If you had listened to Jimbo on the radio this lunchtime the one thing he is warning about is 'apathy' due to the points deduction of the 3 clubs concerned. I for one will look at their results with added interest because they have more to play for than any other team in the division.


It will be 'battle royal' every time each of those teams play.

To suggest that the rellegation spots are looking filled is tempting fate in my opinion.

A fair assesment I say. Personally, I think we're capable of a good top half finish if we dont suffer any major problems with form and fatigue as the season wears on.

IMO i dont think we'll do so bad this season. From what ive seen preseason we have played some decent stuff. Even though we've lost thommo and baker we've brought some good players in

Top half finish if not pushing for play offs

Roll on tomorrow

Was it Rotherham who had 15 points deducted last season and still finished above us?

Rotherham were in the playoffs places for along time last season, they almost looked certain to go up.
