Don’t be silly. Finished 18th is not progress. Wake up! We have already trimmed this dead wood have we not???? 18th in league 2 is not acceptable!!!! 20th and 19th under smurthwaite and now 18th is acceptable. Come off it. Mid table is progress. Not just about staying in the division 

You do know we haven't yet kicked off the season, and we haven't finished in only 18th place? We have to recognize that - due to V2001 and Smurthwaite we were almost ground down into non-League football! We don't have any divine rights to be in a higher League orposition than we have been - we have to earn that right, and if it has to take a while, that's unfortunate! There are several top-flight managers - Sam Allardyce, Sean Dyche and Claudio Ranieri spring to mind whose motto...whose traget, every year, was "40 points - survival first! Then build on that as much and as high as they can" - why should that be different for us? If you actually read my post you will have seen that I want us to be higher...want us to get promotion(s)...but, if we don't and progress is only a place or two, a couple of points, a few extra goals, I will take that! It's better than the opposite direction that we have been travelling, the last 3 seasons and allows us to build the next season.

What a load of guff this thread has become. Simple fact of the matter is no one has any clue how their team will perform. With the exception of the elite few in the premier every other division is mainly about momentum. Get on a good run and anything can happen, bad run and it’s very difficult to turn it round. Our squad is miles better than last year. We have replaced the likes of miller and the lad from the states with Cullen and amoo. Are the good enough maybe not individually but hopefully collectively. We need stability  , aim for promotion yes, have ambition yes but stability is the key this time around.

Spot on mate, every team is in the same boat, who predicted Notts going down at the start of the season? They were tipped by most to walk the league. Last two seasons there has been little difference in quality from top to bottom.

The main thing is whether we finish in Fifteenth place or Eighteenth place, at least we know thanks to the Shanahans we will still be here. Amongst the doom and gloom on here surely that is something to celebrate 
Totally agree, but there's 18th and 18th. If we are lower most of the season will Arthur go? Personally I think we will be top half. That'll do.

Brown

Gibbons Legge Smith Crookes

Joyce Conlon Oyeleke

Worrall, Cullen, Amoo

For me, that is our strongest side in Askey's preferred 4-3-3. Only 2 changes from the team that finished 20th. Hence, why 18th would represent a good season.

Think you will find Pope will be the first name on the team sheet.

As top scorer if he is fit he will carry on scoring goals at this level.

The question is who plays up front with him?

Last season we were found out by teams who stuck two men on him and tried to bully him out of the game.

I just hope he has help this season with either Cullen or Bennett up front to feed off and support him.
