    I was just looking at the teams we will be playing next season. I can't see any big clubs in there. Every team looks a bit average, other than Sheffield who never seem to live up to their potential and of course Portsmouth..............

    I agree that at one time back in history they were, but not now.

    L1 is not a massive leap from L2.
    With a promotion 'bounce' allied with your fan base and decent budget I think you will have a very good season.

    Hopefully both clubs will have good season and if you hang in there for another season we can both go up together

    I hope you are right about us but at the same time I think another promotion would happen too soon for us. That must sound stupid to everyone here but I dont think we are ready for Championship football. I think really aiming for around mid table 10th-15th would be a great achievement for us. My opinion could change though depending on what players we have at the start of the season.

    I said in a different thread, I think City will do alright if they can sign that Tomlin and the other loanee's that has done well for you. A few other good signings on top of that, I would be surprised if City are bottom half of the table come the end of next season.

    If city can make one or two quality signings plus the loan signings they have at present they should be looking for a playoff place

    We'll be fine in this league, and we need to stick by DC if we don't get off to the best start.
