Now before people have a pop I’m no happy clapper etc and I am also unsure on some of the signings that have been made... but without actually seeing our team play in the league over say 10 games I think it’s time for us all to stop moaning and back Sam and the boys .... cmon the town

I don’t think we’re any weaker than last season... But I’m completely unsure if we’re any stronger.

Looking forward to finding out

I'm not feeling optimistic about the squad he has assembled. However they will no doubt get my full support and I hope to be eating my words by Christmas!

The pass and move football we played on Tue at Macc was lovely to see.

If this is a taste of what is to come this season, then we are going to be more entertaining to watch for sure.

We were missing Pearson, the new improved Deverdics and Pyke.

Add Hinds and Beavons into the mix and we must be stronger than last season.

In my view:

The formation and loss of Wedgebury might make us a bit more vulnerable so the defensive unit may be a little weaker, but personnel wise its obviously the same.

The midfield seems a lot stronger. Good players, and in Deverdics in his preferred position, Young and Summerfield we have a very good attacking platform. We will create far more than we did last season.

The attack has mkre question marks. The most consistent performer, Holroyd, is still there. We started last season with Boden, who underperformed, and Massanka. MFT, Pyke, Hines and Beavon cant do any worse. Both Pyke and Hines come with decent accounts of previous loans at a higher level amd whilst they havent scored many goals profrssionally they have also played at higher levels generally. Beavon has a queation marl over his fitness but comes with a reputation as a hard worker who improves the teams he plays in. Fondlop Talom looms like the big target man weve been mossong. Hes scored goals at this level despite not playing much. Pre season he looks a threat.

Im sure we will score a lot more than last season. Loads of unknowns but until we see them.play competitive games who knows.

I totally agree. This negative stuff needs to be curbed. We should wait and see how they perform over the first 10 games before making a judgement. It is simply amazing that people want to slate them before they have kicked a ball.

As an exile I won't get a chance to see the new boys play until Maidenhead next month and I will hope to come away with 3 points like last year. However, having watched the highlights of Tuesday's <Macc game this afternoon I was pleased to see that Sam's tactics seemed to be to play the ball more on the ground than just lumping it in the air and trusting to luck. I also thought that Summerfield looked better than what we had in midfield last season and that Tharme was promising as a back up cenral defender. if we are going to play mire attractive football that would be an excellent start.
