The difference this season, I think, is we have more strength in depth (McDonald and Ness haven’t even been in the squad yet, and Gordon has barely featured), as shown by our ability to handle the absence of JJ, Dan and AJ on Saturday. Time will tell, of course, but we’ll definitely have a better idea after the next two games away at Bromley (where we’ve never won) and at home to Gillingham.
I dont think there are any teams that have the kind of budget and pulling power financially that Wrexham and Stockport did last season. MK Dons perhaps next season if the fake sheik is not fake. By comparison we have a much more rounded side than we did last season. I think we will do pretty well this year. As to how well, well let's see how kind injuries and the January transfer window are!
