August 12Aug 12 This time last year, this was our bench in L1 at Barnsley:Cissoko, EE, Forino, McAtee, Morley, Tutu. And not in squad: Dalby, DempseyWe're a division above now and if all 8 of them started on Saturday we wouldn't be noticeably weaker!We were dire at Barnsley mind. And we had ACD, Sheehan and Simons starting who would all play start on Saturday if possible.
August 12Aug 12 Our projected starting XI for this game probably wouldn't beat Barnsley away.But equally, Preston wouldn't be heavy favourites to beat any half decent L1 side away in a one off game either. So if that's what we are on Saturday, so be it.Should fancy our chances of getting a result whoever we put out. It's not facing Coventry with a bunch of kids who turned out to be semi-pro standard.

If it was West Ham and Wolves first two games I'd take the defeats and move on.Its a bit early for a crucial 6 pointer, followed by another 2 v QPR and Lincoln.
August 12Aug 12 Just now, Not in Crawley said:Been listening to a few podcasts - most have us finishing bottom.If the transfer window closed tonight, I’d also have us finishing bottom, so it’s not unreasonable.Thankfully it doesn’t and you’d have to hope that we’ll bring in enough over the next two weeks that materially changes that position.

August 12Aug 12 It's gonna be a struggle and our squad is currently a shit show but how are folk having Lincoln above us?

They’ve kept most of their squad and spent money adding a few and you ask why folk are having Lincoln above us? Give your head a wobble you muppet.

We looked a poor team but we'd still get top half minimum. This season is different in that the team looks shite, rather than poor, but I still think that managed well we'll stay up and build from there. 15th place this season is my prediction

August 13Aug 13 Think NTT20 had Lincoln being ok as their new manager has traditionally done OK while conceding majority possession to opponents. Or words to that effect. Had relegated teams us, Blackburn and Preston I think.

We played em twiceWe drew twiceThe League does not necessarily paint a true picture as neither of us will be playing Burton, Mansfield, Rotherham et alPlus, their manager has fooked offIts far less clear cut than you make out

August 13Aug 13 Co-managers rarely work. Always needs to be one voice more senior than the other and whilst they’ll put on a united front, it’s rare that personalities strong enough to back themselves as managers, will concede ideas to another. One of them will have to ‘drop down’
