After this great start to pre season, I'd be disappointed if we didn't finish in the playoffs. Must have a little bit left in the budget to play around with the loan system during the season as well.

Great start? They haven't played yet! I'm going to say 10th and upwards would mean a great season and something we can build on.

Loving all this positivity great to see so many people saying we are`nt going to struggle,but waiting for the doom mongerers to start after our first defeat of the season Grin Grin Grin
As the saying goes we`re good on paper but then again so is a pritt stick.
But I`l join in, top 7 from the start,then end of March starts our asssualt on the top 3. Grin

I've gone auto, mainly in support of my fiver each way at 20's. In fact, all my free £10 bets are going the same way. At least until they become a waste...

Do we normally play at the start of pre season then?

I clearly meant with regards to players staying/players coming in/backroom staff coming in/injured players coming along. The rest of pre season can be purely focused towards the players gaining match sharpness/fitness as a group now.

I'm not sure if 78 people are representative of the fanbase but only two of them think that we won't finish in the top half of the table, with the vast majority saying we'll be in the top 7.

Have we learnt nothing?!  Grin

Quick people, vote for the bottom two please. Otherwise, if we have another bad season, not only will we have another terrible season, but we'll also have an unbearably smug "I told you so, I was right, everyone else was wrong" annoying git on here.

Well there will only be two annoying gits?  Wink
When my prediction comes right (play offs) I hope we don't do a Cobblers/Brazil in the final.

I'm going to be optimistic, if the new signings can gel in quickly (especially O'Toole) and we get off to a good start then we can finish in the top 7. We probably have a top 7 budget and with the form that Wilder managed to get out of the squad there's no reason why we can't hold that over a whole season. Sometimes at Northampton we have a tendency to overhaul the entire squad when things go badly, the worst case being when Johnson came in but ADB even overhauled the squad after we were 90 minutes away from promotion, and in almost every case it doesn't work.

Wilder has so far only brought in 5 new faces this summer (not counting Sinclair and Diamond as new because they were here on loan last season) and out of a total squad of 23 so far and that isn't an unreasonable number so in theory they should be able to gel easier.

Shoemaker, I haven't got the best of memories but I would say this is the best overall squad we have had for at least a decade.
The season we finished 9th in League One in 2007/2008 was the best squad of the last decade in my opinion.

Mark Bunn, Mark Little, Jason Crowe, Daniel Jones, Bradley Johnson, Gabor Gyepes, Bayo and Poul Hubertz. What a team that was! Remember dismantling Swansea at home within 30 minutes, the same side who absolutely stormed the league that year.

Certainly in our time back in League Two though this is the strongest on paper squad that we have had, so I'd hope we'd be able to at least get Play-Offs like Aidy's team did, and with Wilder capable of winning away as well I am hopeful we can maybe finish higher!

I think that was the best game ive ever witnessed at Sixfields. Big Poul Hubertz absolutely dominated for us. Think Jackman scored a worldy too!

We had a really decent side that season, especially having Johnson and Coke in the middle. The two big men up top wern't half bad either. Few of those players have all gone on to have decent careers..

No he's not, but he was sniffing my bollocks in the park yesterday.

Going for an egg on my face top 7 with a play-off for Wembley with Luton and a big draw at home in the FA Cup.

Joining me with egg on his face DC, "Yes I should have put more seats in at the start of the season."

I've gone for play-offs as I am an optimist.

We look very solid. I think two points are particularly key;

1. Wilder's ability to motivate and drive.

2. Toney - We may have found a born goal scorer (a pity we didn't act more effectively on Norris and develop Moult better). I can't see enough goals from our other forwards.

I think Drilling is the prime example of why it is best to avoid pre-season friendlies. Reading some of the comments I think some people would already be changing their vote!
At least Drilling will give it a couple of proper games.  Grin
