I would say Ipswich, Sheff Weds, Peterborough, plymouth , Derby, Portsmouth, Charlton, Wycombe, Oxford would all be put in front of us - there's always a surprise package in most divisions as well.

For me , as long as we show some desire and look like we have a plan and structure to what we're doing I'll take mid table and a good cup run. One thing that might give us a shout is if we grow in confidence with a good sequence of results. At the minute it feels like we're quite fragile confidence wise , which is probably because everytime we went a goal down last season there heads dropped.

This division has some terrible finishing (us included - although Wycombe bucked this trend on saturday , but they were the deserved winners anyway) so you can get away with being a bit more on the front foot.

This manager seems an ambitious bloke - its whether we get to a stage whether or not we can match his ambition, should he start developing his own group of players and flogging these from under him - we have a recent history of dismantling a good side
That’s my first prediction wrong, in fairness it’s good to see a player being loyal and by the sounds of it it’s not affected his performances - we saw the opposite of this at oakwell in one of our fire sales in years gone by! Hope you’re well Robin
