EnigmaRam Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I think everyone should be disappointed if we don’t get promoted. Isn’t that what’s we all hope for? I think we can get promoted, but I certainly don’t expect us to. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondest Goat Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Its just about being realistic. Honestly, when was the last time a season didn't end in disappointment? jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 After the last few years with bad news and just pure undoubted worry. I expect top ten and that’s all I’m saying to myself. I said last year I just want to be there when we lose to Forest Green Rovers away, know it’s my club and we have a future RamuelLJackson, jimtastic56 and CBRammette 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I would be a little disappointed if we don’t make top 2. We have a good Div1 budget and Liam has brought in players to get the job done first time of asking. It is not a 3 year plan , with the age of our players they have to do it this season. Next season would mean another re-build to get promotion again. Oldben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation is almost incomparable to the one under Jewell. The signings that season were scattershot, signing way too many players on way top high waves with little thought to as we were going to use them. We also came down in the particular bind a biggish club has following a bad relegation were confidence is largely shot, players are used to losing but expectation is heaped on them. Here though, if fozzy signs we can field an 11 with 9 players who were here last year without really playing anyone out of position. There is that degree of continuity and we are signing to a plan, to complement what we have. Also we are coming down with a team that wouldn't have got relegated bar the deductions so they don't have that same beaten mentality. Personally think it's too early to say exactly where we should be aiming but I don't think thinking we could make a promotion push is unreasonable. Im not moaning and i think weve signed well. but no one knows,u me l, liam .. anyone until time elapses if these signings will be a success or transpire to be the same “scattergun signings” cos they were free and cheap. i think weve recruited well but so many signings normally take time to gel.. i think patience will have to be exercised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconram Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Anywhere in the top 6 and to win papa johs trophy to put a bit of pride back.

DCFC_Sloth Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I think we have to be somewhat realistic. On paper, we’ve signed some really good players for the level, but the reality is they are coming to League one for a reason. Most are coming to the end of their careers and won’t be the best version of themselves. Most will have a lost a bit physically. On the flip side, we also have a lot of young players who will naturally dip and peak through the season. As we’ve seen from a lot of the young players who have come through, the second season often proves tough - Sibley, bird, knight all dropped off before (in bird and knight’s case) kicking on again. There is also a question over who might leave. Judging by the training photos, Bielik seems to be away - no present and squad numbers given to Chester. There are increasing reports of clubs sniffing round other players too. Furthermore, this is a team full of new faces and personalities. It will take time for it to gel. We will likely start slow, or erratically so it will be important to stay with the project. However, despite all the depressing realism above, the team is looking really strong and despite some potential dips in form or fitness, there is a lot of know how in the team and a lot of players with good potential. This doesn’t look like a team that is being put together for a slow build, so I’d expect us to be going for promotion. It looks like a side that is being put together with top six as a bare minimum. Although I don’t expect us to blow the league away, I’d be disappointed if we didn’t make that top six goal. walkleyowl and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igorwasking Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I honestly believe we will win the league - I’m almost tempted to have a bet on being unbeaten in the league all season. walkleyowl, Macintosh, i-Ram and 3 others 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) The players we've signed and the budget we are surely paying for wages, we have to be up there. No excuses.

I think we can get promoted, but I certainly don’t expect us to. There's 24 teams who will believe they have a chance of success, There's most likely 10 teams who believe they are promotion contenders, They'll be 3-4 teams who think they'll be in the top 2. This squad at worst should be in the playoffs, At best...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC27 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 If we make 2/3 more signings of the current ilk and keep Knight Bird and Beliek. Then 100% I’ll be disappointed. I’d expect us to be really good next year. I’d expect us to challenge with the current set of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB SPORTS Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'll be happy with 7th as a minimum, just because it was our lowest ever league position. As such it was a springboard for 5 great years of football, and if Maxwell could have kept his foot on the pedal, who knows what would have happened.

Ilsonram12 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Reserving judgement till after 10 games, the old saying It'll be tougher than you think, coping with teams coming to pp and going to smaller grounds, hopefully that's where rosenier has done his research with the experienced players coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
