If you look at the final table from last season, just on stats the main reason we didn't go up was because of games drawn if we had turned 8 of the eighteen draws we had into wins we would have won the league, so we were just eight goals from promotion. We lost the second lowest number of games in the league. With the extra quality Malky has brought in this term surely we can turn draws into wins.

But I also think we need a 25+ goal scorer in our ranks to achieve this.
