Just had a quick squince on skybet [not that I ever have a flutter myself] and I see that we are favourites for League two at the moment, at 7/2 to win the league and 4/6 for promotion. I must confess to feeling those odds [especially the 2nd one] are very short. I just hope they're right!
I think it will be tough. While we will be the biggest club with the biggest crowds, we will not have the biggest playing budget or the best squad. The football will often be agricultural and some of our younger, smaller players are going to have to toughen up. In what will be a season of consolidation, a top half finish is my expectation, with the play-offs a possibility and the top three a hope.
Agree with what you say LFiH. If you recall, a few years back we sent Joel Ward over to the States in the Summer, to "bulk him up a bit", and he came back a much stronger player. Youngsters like Jed Wallace, Asley Harris & Dan Butler could both do with that kind of training camp, to beef them up a bit.
