4th is pretty bloody hopeful but it's not that far off what could happen. We've got a team that finished 3 points off the Play-offs last season that have acclimatised to the league. If we get a couple of strikers in Play-offs aren't impossible
I think these things are put together weeks and weeks before the season starts. Some guy contacted me via the Trust on behalf of another publication just a couple of weeks after the season finished, I said it was hard to predict where we'd finish as "at the time of writing we only have one senior striker" - little did I know that would still be the situation six days before the season began !
They easily could. They were lucky to stay up last season and their new signing are hardly inspired. Having Nicky Bailey didn't help us from going down from the Championship and Lee Martin hardly fired us up from League One. They look better than last season as a squad but they've got a new manager to get used to and a bad start might see them in some difficulty.Bournemouth and Doncaster seem to have some money behind them as well.
Disagree about Scumwall. Theyve made some very decent signings. Was convinced theyd go down but not so sure now. Think they may well finish close to us in mid/lower mid table.

Agreed. I reckon we'd have been happy with Morrison, Chapliw, Easter & Bailey.
Definitely. Bailey was good for Boro, Chaplow was a very important player for Saints when they got promoted the year before, Morrison is proven at this level and with Keogh they have two reasonable Championship strikers, who will get double figures each, already one more than us!

Not a prayer sadly (of us finishing 4th that is)
Please.
They probably looked at our finish last time and assumed we would strengthen and hey ho..
yep
Back on topic, would love it if FFT were anywhere near but think they've overestimated us somewhat.
The back five is fine, midfield looking quite strong - but we are well short up front.
Obika + Fuller + Church would be good.
