I watched my first League One predictions podcast yesterday and we were down to finish seventh in what the person presenting the show said was going to be the strongest competition seen at this level in some time. The presenter admitted himself that it was too early to make serious selections yet, but I was still a little disappointed to hear him saying we'd miss out on the Play Offs, but then I thought again and i must say that, looking at the players that reported back for training yesterday, seventh is flattering us.
With all of this news of takeovers floating about,, it's hard to know how ambitious we're going to be in the transfer market, but, whatever sort of budget we're working to, the recruitment team and transfer committee have to be more street wise and realisitc than they were a year ago if we're to be promotion challengers.
