I can answer your question, yes loads got excited and rightly so. Not long before he was a Welsh international and arrived from playing regularly for a Championship club. It was hard not to have excitement.

Dennis I had mixed feelings on , although he scored lots for that relegated side.
Yeah that's right, we have 1 star performer and other very solid players for the level (Wootton, Slocombe, Lacey, Reeves) a couple capable of much more (Brindley, Sam(?)) and others who won't let us down...

but the squad that's left needs lifting and not weighing down (they're not good enough to carry any slightly sub-standard players). That's why the question is unanswerable at the minute. We'll get an idea from the profiles of the new players, but won't know how it's clicking til about 6 games in.

This summer is crucial, it's harder to find solutions mid-season on the fly from loans, if you're wanting to be 1 of the 2 out of 23.
You can bet that two of the contending teams will get it right in terms of recruitment and pre-season preps, so we have to be one of them if we want to compete right at the top.

As always with the NL, all calculations are filtered through this really tough 2 up out of 24 promotion opportunity. We'd have been promoted each of the last 2 seasons if it was 3 or 4 up and then we'd be having a very different kind of chat on here (less desperate).
