Much easier to go with the lazy reply and type scenario. Also, I had to find the link to the other thread and nearly walked into a tourist looking at a map while I was cursing.

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. I've tried searching for it but I remember you creating a thread before Walsall away under Darren Kelly. It featured a call to arms on a mass scale and unbridled optimism. I'm not falling for it again dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 There is always optimism before the first game, shite squads suddenly look amazing, we convince ourselves this will be the year. Weakness become strengths, happens every two years with England also. Last year people were convinced we had the best back two in the league and shez would get a tune out of banks and green.

Actually think this is very true. Good home and away games to start with as MK Dons are fancied for top 7, Forest Green are supposedly rubbish and bottom 2 seems to be where they are tipped. Good markers for where we are at me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm normally exactly like this. For once, I'm not feeling very optimistic squad wise but hoping that Bunn can get them playing together.

Bonus 5 or 10 points for the single predictor closest to exact attendance. I like it.... means 1 predictor can steal a march on promotion / relegation each week....
