It's all ifs, buts and maybes for every team I just feel we are better than what some fans/pundits will give us credit for. We will have a better idea after Saturday but the difference in price for us to win the League isn't warranted and if I had a free £1000 match between at the prices I'd much rather be on us. Their recruitment has been nothing short of excellent. There’s absolutely no reason to predict us to finish above them given how many unknowns there are with Latics currently - they’re a team of proven winners.

Unlike previous season when they had the likes of Alli and Afobe they are pretty ordinary and I'd only really put Agard and Aneke of their starting 11 into our team, we only have to wait till Saturday to find out if they are that great as some of our fans make out.

They’ve recruited well I think. Moore-Taylor and Harley have been key players for Exeter these past couple of years when they’ve got to Wembley in the play-offs. Baudry and Houghton were ever present for Doncaster when they went up automatically last year from this division. D’ath has been automatically promoted twice in the last 3 seasons playing in League Two with Northampton and Luton. Finally, Mitch Hancox has had a fair bit of Championship experience whilst he was a youngster with Birmingham and he was a key player for Macclesfield who stormed the league below last season. Really clever business and when coupled with Tisdale who’s experienced at this level I’m struggling to see past them for automatic promotion. Obviously I hope it all goes tits up and they implode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a group of fans who have finished at the arse end of the third tier for donkeys years ever be described as self righteous, we certainly are well aware of where we lie in the football pyramid and have very little expectation. If your uncomfortable with the optimism I have for the new season that says more about you than it does me I do however think we will forever be a better club than the fake Dons who despite putting a club out of existence for their own selfish gain somehow feel they have the right to be in an higher division because they are home to a soulless 30,000 seater soup bowl with clueless fans, how ironic the real Dons now sit above them in the pyramid despite starting all over again.

How wonderful you've been vindicated by two no marks who know nothing about Frankie Bunn. Someone who is well respected as an excellent coach in the Championship and at Academy label. Yep, you're right. Another set of tools. I take it we're allowed to disagree in the manner that Shrewsbury fans did last season when they were tipped for relegation.

Sky not showing Frankie Bunn's first game as manager in "his" competition combined with Lampard's 2nd game as manager - all guarantees a glorious upset and Sky kicking themselves in my eyes...

HarryBosch Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) League Two Champions Us OAFC League Position 1st OAFC Top scorer We haven't signed him yet Will Bunn be manager this time next year? Yes Will Abdallah be owner this time next year? Yes Stability off the pitch, more of the same old shit, or worse? More stable, after further teething problems - Abdallah will eventually sort the mess out and secure more investment, which will also mean we sign a quality striker and #walktheleague He'll have more stomach for it than Corney had towards the end and it's important to him that we like him I reckon. We'll have a decent cup run too - back to back Prem opposition like Liverpool & Everton again. Corney spewing... Most improved player Gevaro Best new player Baxter, obviously Best young player Hamer Player of the Season Clarke - a Gregan-esque Indian summer becoming a club great and a shoe-in for next manager Who will we miss most Davies Who is likely to be sold to a bigger club in January? Byrne. FB will get him onside and give him a promised move after 4 months of exemplary form and behaviour Will De La Paz/Placide (which ever one is here) get game time? If he stays Placide to reclaim his place from a disappointing Iversen and keep it I think he'll be moved on though given the money he's rumoured to be on. Zeus - no Which round will we reach in the Cup competitions 5th Rd FA Cup 2nd Rd League Cup - beat Derby, go out to Forest Green or some such shite Other one - I don't care. Hopefully Abdallah will pull us out. Edited August 1, 2018 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
