I have some reasonable optimism for this season. If we make signings in the right place, we could go right back up.

Let's not forget that on paper, our squad looked at minimum mid-table last season in the Championship, it just fell apart because of morale, attitude and a lack of quality in terms of player choices (and Riza being out of his depth). I think we've trimmed a lot of the fat, kept the majority of the quality players and could be serious contenders for champions.

Some might not like we're playing League 2 teams mostly, but it's a good way to build back up the confidence lost over last season.

BBM been a very pleasant surprise so far. Obviously, what matters is the season itself, but the pre-season is giving me some optimism.
