Here’s mine to kick us off:

1) Chesterfield
2) Boreham Wood
3) Oldham
4) York
5) Woking
6) Hartlepool
7) Barnet

Chesterfield.
Oldham.
Hartlepool.
Eastleigh.
York.
Southend.(if they can survive).
Woking.

Chesterfield
Barnet
Oldham
Boreham Wood
York
Eastleigh
Daggers or Hartlepool or Woking.

[Misnomer]

Oldham
Chesterfield
Rochdale
Fylde
York
Woking
Southend

Apart from the addition of Naylor, (new keeper can only do so much) I can't see any difference from last season to this.

Tippy tappy around the box, no end product. Grigg won't get the service he needs. Quigley is just shocking and must be on a daft contract. Defence is an inconsistent nightmare and I'm amazed a CB hasn't been brought in...that was/is a vital area to sort out.

We'll definitely be up there but, there's no way we are winning this league at a canter. We don't have a Langstaff or a Mullin to bag a hat trick every other week.

You're judging their first season in non league and predicting a similar outcome. Personally, and it's obviously all about opinions, I think Oldham will be up there.

Like I said, if anyone wants to point out the big changes from last season to this, I'm all ears. Dallas was a massive improvement from what we had and, IMO, transformed our season, and he's no longer with us. I'd have taken Dallas over Grigg, any day of the week.

All it takes is a couple of injuries in key areas and we'll seriously wobble.

I'm still hoping we'll pick up a couple of quality loan signings; one being a CB, the other a forward.

Dallas signed for us in March...big call to say he transformed the season. Naylor and Tyrer are big improvements in their relative positions on last season, Grigg has pedigree at a higher level.

I keep seeing people talk about injuries...these could just as easy happen to other teams as well not just us.

Not really, I think they'll be in the mix, but the finished 23pts behind us & I just don't see where they've recruited to make that shortfall up.

big changes from last season to this. going on pre season games weve got a quality keeper, Naylor is an upgrade on jones, good as jones had been. grigg will score the goals.
the player who transformed our season last season was Colclough & we have him from game1 this season.

couple of injuries in key positions & any team at our level will wobble.

We are arguably one of the few teams at this level that has the resources to go out and sign someone either on loan or permanently to cover any availability issues.

Yep!! which is why we haven't gone out and 'panic bought' a striker.. With the transfer window open till March we have plenty of time. As you saw with Wrexham last season, they had a quiet ish first few months, no panic buying and did business through the season when they needed too. There isn't any need to panic with the window not closing.

We don't need big changes though, a straight repeat of last season will see us in with a very good shout with a few games to go, and even the slightest improvement would see us win the league IMHO.

If you take our form last season, aside the 9 game blip and pro rata it over the season, we'd have broke 90 points, which I think will be enough to win the league, and if you look down the league, I don't see any other team capable of breaking the 90 point barrier, I think we will.

Last season, Notts and Wrexham amassing 100+ points was a one off (nor will it be repeated again at this level, certainly not for a long long time. ) and I can't see anyone other than us remotely possible of doing that this season.

I reckon we’ll get to 90 points this season..
