    Apart from a nice stadium, and frequent bail outs, his vast fortune hasn’t seen us ever really go for it promotion wise

    While I applaud LM for last seasons top 6 finish under tragic personal circumstances, I still maintain it was equally due to the failure of other bigger and more fancied teams that we made the Playoffs

    What will happen this season is anyone’s guess but anticipation is growing

    I don’t know why anticipation is growing.
    I don’t feel it.
    We still haven’t signed a striker or a decent proven goalkeeper - and our first choice GK - although dodgy - is now out for 4 months.
    I don’t think we will get relegated but I think the start to the season will be very tough indeed.
    Not confident at all. Mid-table finish would be an achievement IMHO.

    Exactly how I feel R&W.
    I'm dreading our first game at Sheffield without Dickie, McNally and a keeper.

    I’m still hopeful that we will sign another striker and a decent keeper
    If we don’t then we could struggle

    Absolutely - and we let Wells go - who was far from prolific, but gave us an option.
    I’m extremely worried.

    we played the whole season as an above average team that was reasonably good in defence but lacked attacking options.
    Almost from the start [ after 12 games ] we were destined to end on a sub 70 points total.

    by now I have usually got a good feel for the info/ ratings I put in to form an EOS points... 46 games finish. usually a 4th tranche is before end August and third is around after 2 games..... So far it is a nightmare, teams are strengthening from all angles we seem to be trolling along the bottom 6-8 teams!!!!
    Brum and Wrexham look quite strong 3 that come down look like top 6 . Middsbro / Sheff U/ Coventry /West Brom /Derby / Watford done good business Norwich / Millwall in the mix which leaves us down around 14th in the pecking order or lower!!! but changes daily.............
