Quote ="BigTime"I wonder what will constitute a reasonable season for the owners. I can see us finishing 10th but higher seems a stretch. I’m also a bit concerned that one down the bottom is Barrow. I suspect they are better than that and Haven who haven’t impressed already have 8 points. By no means obvious who will go down. Staring down the barrel of 2 seasons outside mid table. When can we expect an upturn especially with all players off contract at end of season.'"
The perennial question and not one I expect them to give us any reliable answer on tbh. I agree 10th is realistic and although I had hoped we'd be able to push on in and around that 8th spot, I'm not sure we currently have the quality or depth to challenge and hold it. I didn't expect Barrow or Newcastle to struggle as much and you certainly feel Barrow have it in them to go on a run. York will get better once they get over there little injury crisis too you feel. Hopefully our late/loan signings can properly bed in soon and if so I can maybe see us going on a late season run, when warmer weather and drier tracks maybe favour us a bit more.
The top 4 seem to be stretching away and are already sitting on pretty big positive points differences and we're not even into May yet!
