Tommy lee kept us in games last season, when we could have been dead and buried at half time, Drew Talbot, because of his runs down the wing and his dangerous crosses. There's a few more, do agree with four four two. What do you think ?

i will stick my neck out and say our key player this season is someone who is not here yet!!

Super Jack!

If he stays fit it could well be Morgan.

Our KEY player has got to be someone with the skill to UNLOCK our opponents defences.

Of the players currently here I would say it Morgan who has the potential to be a massive player for us if he performs as we know we can. That said I'm inclined to agree with Mr Curtains that we are still waiting for our main man.

Dean Morgan.

The key "player" will be the crowd. Last year we had it easy and the stadium was a very positive place to play with a cracking atmosphere. How that is maintained when if lose a few in the higher league will be crucial.

Additionally last year we traveleld in small numbers compared to a lot of other teams and that's when we were winning, so if we don't get off to a good start I can't see many going to away games etc

Yeah I found the, rather more limited than expected, away support strange last year

Although i will get shot down and - to the max....personally, i thought we got out of jail a good few times last season against some very ordinary and poor outfits; same personnel this season, i can't see that remaining the same; we'll get punished where we didn't last term.......Champions...yes, however, no squad improvement, indeed, a loss of key players (25 goal scorer for one)for me, it's bottom to mid table at the very best.

Jack plays one in every two games...therefore, at the moment, that will leave Boden and Bowery as our main strikers...potential...maybe...experience ZERO....against better and more experienced defenders from a higher division, i just can't see how they will be successful; i hope they will but the odds are massively against them; anyone with an ounce of footballing brain with a realistic outlook must see that; we can't rely on blind faith for them to suddenly turn into League 1 quality strikers?

Our "never say die" got us out of the mire on a few occassions last season.That's the reason we were Champions.A great "team effort" with some outstanding contibutions from individuals like Tommy,Craig and Jack.Lets hope the team spirit shines through again this season.Yes,at present the squad is weaker than last season but I don't think for a moment we have stopped adding to the squad.It may mean the loan market but we certainly going to build on last season.

I think the relatively low following was partly due to the opposition. Alot of people i know had got a bit sick of goin to places like Macclesfield/Rotherham/Northampton etc... I think the away following may be a bit better this year given a few different places to visit.
