Gateshead away on a Tuesday night. How nice of them. 🙄
Don't want to say it's an omen, but the Maidenhead game will be the first time I've seen the opening game of the season at Meadow Lane since the 5-0 thumping of the Bradford massive in 2009. Bloody hope it's an omen, though.

Yeah, strangely similar to last season!
Our chances of promotion will be determined by avoiding the silly defeats we suffered last season to the teams we should expect to beat, especially away from home. We'll need to show more ability to grind out results when we're maybe not at our best, which has been a real achilles heel for the past three seasons.
And I think most will agree that whilst some of the signings we have made look promising Wootton has not been replaced adequately YET and the midfield still looks a bit powderpuff. Given that the latter has still not been addressed and was probably a significant reason for a number of the silly defeats that is cause for concern. Hopefully this will be rectified before the start of the season. Otherwise based on the law of averages 5th place it is!
We'll have to move all our games that clash with the Reds, no taking it in turns as before
