Seb Hayes announced on twitter that he's signed a couple of players for Huntingdon with the hashtag #titanicrising so I guess he may be miffed with his old boss.
Rayment of course not a man with a 100% record when it comes to predictions. Seem to recall him being particularly confident of a home win for Spalding on December 14 & it didn't quite work out for him. He's probably just trying to put the pressure of expectancy on us.
Holbeah have built a remarkably strong squad and considering most UCL players move around every season (and often during seasons) I don't think their array of quality new signings will have too many problems gelling as a team. Hard to see them finishing outside of the top 2 TBH.
