Nope. I have no idea what you're referring to.
10th I think, comfortably mid-table. Would be nice to see us set our eyes on the FA Trophy as something that we could win.

Same expectations as last season for. Top-half would be fine, top-10 would be great and anything else is a bonus.

Can't see us improving on last season. We may have no Terry, Byrne and Tomlin, but my greatest concern is at the back. If Osano or Stuart recieve long-term injuries there is nobody to cover them.
the Squad is weaker than last saesons, so i am going to go for 8th or 9th.

Although I agree at that the moment we appear to have a weaker team than last season I still think that the squad is deeper especially at the back. For much of last year our back up defenders were Corky and occasionally Porter, who let's face is not a defender. This year however we've got Huke and Corcoran, who can both play right across the back four, as well as whoever doesn't start out of Robinson and Day.

no, wait...
Exactly :lol: , I fully expect it to be the same at the start of this season, we generally tend to start seasons off quite low scoring in recent seasons anyway, but I'm sure we'll start scoring a few games in like we did last year, hopefully.
With Tomlin gone, obviously I'm not as optimistic as I was before, clearly JE is a great manager and worked miracles last year but I'm not sure whether he'll be able to do the same with this squad, so I'm going to say unless we get a really good player that can have a big impact like Byrne, Terry or Tommo did then I think we may be in for an above average season in the top 10 tbh, which while I realise would still be an achievement with regards to our budget, unfortunately after the successes of last year, it's going to be very hard to happy with anything outside the top 5 seeing as though at the end of last season we were all looking at this season to be even better. Having said that I'd be more optimistic if we could get Rene Howe.
