That point could be the difference

Yes I know its game #1

BUT

Although this will be deemed pessimistic - our aim this year in my opinion should be just to stay up and/or mid table if we are lucky. We are a newly promoted team - small (ish) squad with a young age rage

League One to the Championship is a big leap and the league looks like the toughest one in years this season. We have BBM who is fast becoming one of our best but we still cant get carried away

Last nights point is a big point against a strong team so it can make all the difference. Every point we get I will be overjoyed with

I think we have enough in the squad to comfortably stay up especially if we sign a couple more. Dont expect much more than that.

I admire your optimism.

For me, without at least three top quality signings we're in for a long season battling relegation.

Pretty much agree, think we'll be bottom half (which isn't terrible straight after promotion) but honestly think there are at least four or five teams worse than us so don't see us getting relegated.

Especially as it's almost certain we will add and have a clear style of play. A reason some teams go down is they don't have any idea on how they want to play.

I'm sure the usual people will accuse me of living in cuckoo land, as they did last summer when I said we'd be top six.

That point felt like a win for us - never give up attitude :bluebird: :thumbup:
