Having to completely rebuild with frees. Evatt done well to grab those that are available early, but to expect that team to really hit the ground running and run away with things is way too much. I hope you are wrong but apart from a few of the signings the rest seem a division below League 2 standard Quote

I'm still positive, and was enthused by IE, that's probably what attracted some of the new players. By doing so He's put himself up there to be shot at if things don't go so well, but we'll still need to be realistic. Quote

My first season ticket for must be 15 years or longer (done 2 home matches since PL shit fan) so I am optimistic but we need to get up this season; hope we get a good start but at least be challenging before Xmas Quote

Most of the squad is proven at League 2 standard I would have thought. I know there are a couple of exceptions but that would be the case with 90% of squads, signing 2 or 3 from a division below (as well as having plenty that are proven in the division above, as we have).

From what I have seen there has been quite a few from National League; I might be wrong. We just need to get playing competitively and after a few weeks we will know if he has got it right; I am behind the club no matter what the outcome is Quote
passmosster Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Look at the Crewe bench and there's a lot of League experience. And an u-23s. Quote

I reckon we have nine players who could currently be considered proven at this level. Quote
Dr Faustus Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Fuck being realistic; when was the last time you felt the rush of optimism before a season? Both in style and glory... Embrace it Quote
