riddled with inaccuracies - but I agree it's a devent write up without the usual condescening tones that others insert far too easily.

I hope the bookies still agree that we are favourites to go down because it'll make my tenner go a bit further (I think we might make the play offs this year).

goalkeepers

Arthur was a huge loss and Dunbavin simply isn't a replacement. If we can get a solid replacement then we have a good chance

Defence

Chris King was outstanding until he was injured, Leam would have been a more than adequate replacement but he too was injured. Keep both of these fit and left back is nailed down.
Cavanagh or Murphy at right back doesn't fill me with a huge amount of confidence but Murphy could turn out to be a revelation
Edwards, Kempson and Winnard at centre half - any two from three will do me nicely. Winnard was sought after by a few clubs so hopefully he will be the signing of the season for us.

Midfield

Chris Turner will hopefully carry on the massive progress he showed last year whilst Bobby Grant simply has to have a big season and realise the potential that Coley saw in him to make him Stanleys youngest ever player. Jimmy Ryan will also carry on proving Liverpool and Shrewsbury wrong to back up why Notts County link has him down as one of the brightest young talents in the division. Add Luke Joyce, Andy Proctor, John Mullin and we have a reasonably competitive midfield.

Attack

Paul Mullin will probably be used a little more sparingly this year and I would expect it to be his last. But we know what we will get with Mullers and that is 100% commitment and a fair share of flick ons for a little, fast ****** such as Billy Kee. The reports we have read over the last couple of days suggest that this could be the biggest rabbit ever pulled out of Coleys hat. Provided that Mullers can get his flick ons, and that Turner, Grant and Miles can get the crosses for him, provided that Ryan can thread balls through the eye of needle, then we may just see Kee bag an absolute sack full. Miles, Symes and maybe Lindfield will all have a part to play but I wouldn't imagine any of them will contribute a great deal.

Last season we were close to having a good side, we have lost one good player (and we expected to lose more) but have added three fantastic signings. The main one being Kee. If we had scored more last season we would have challenged, its as simple as that.

Football is all about luck sometimes, and I dont think we have our fair share. If we can avoid silly injuries and suspensions then the squad can settle.

I'm optimistic this year
