Thanks 4 that alibi.
We are all off on Wednesday.
The thing i did notice at Rosso was we were getting crosses in from dead ball line as opposed to last season were we were crossing from just over half way line

You guys confident of going back up this season? Or fearing a continued tumble?

Didn't happen against Middlesbro. As a consequence Rovers were being picked off trying to play it through the middle. The best chance came when Calder got away down their right wing and fired in a good shot.

Williams not good again then.
I am hoping he will come up with the goods this season.
I really hope he does it I am not happy with a Curtis situation where he will be jeered every time he plays.
I no Rosso was just a pre season kick about but as I said his body language looked different to the other players

With it being pre season i dont read too much into how things are. Changes in personel formations and tactics just to assess different ways and means. Not only that we may only play someone of boro's quality once this season if we get far in cup comps.

We did do well last pre season including beating the mackems and look what happened! Anyway im hopeful of a top 3 spot. We seem to be the team everyone wants to beat on league 2 forums and in most peoples predictions to go up automatically. To me top 7 is the minimum. More leading towards top 3. Anything less is a big fail.

Good luck, it's a tough league

If you like to play a decent passing game, you'll just be kicked off the pitch... Newport, Accrington, Notts County were the worst 3 offenders from last season.

Robben. I can see it being a straight battle for us yourselves and maybe luton for the top 3. Could be an interesting season 👍

We've been tipped for automatic promotion for the past 4 seasons... starting to feel Scouse in saying 'this year is our year' again...

Can't wait to get started though - next weekend now
