Our pre-season was pretty good, but nothing special. Beat Wolves, also beat some local teams like Retford & Worksop away, then lost to Man Utd last friday.
I was at the Wolves & Utd games and our new signings-Wellens, Hayter, Woods & Greer, all impressed me. Weve got injurys at the back and i think Greer & Adam Lockwood are gonna be fine for now, a solid backline.
Going forward i think weve got more flair, but we didnt show it in pre-season.
I think our probably starting 11 is gonna be
GK-Neil Sullivan
RB-James O'Connor
LB-Gareth Roberts
CB-Adam Lockwood
CB-Gordon Greer
RM-James Coppinger
LM-Martin Woods
CM-Brian Stock
CM-Richie Wellens
ST-Paul Heffernan
ST-James Hayter
Adding to that we have 'Big Mac' Mark McCammon, who i think works well with Heffs up front, same for Afro Goal Machine Jason Price, but hes always injured. Bruce Dyer is there too, but he's a bit past it now. Graham Lee & Stephen Roberts are great defenders when fit, and we still have Mark Wilson, Lewis Guy, Paul Green and more in midfield. Im pretty optimistic for this season, we should be in the play-offs at least.
And there is NO WAY that Carlisle or Yeovil will go down, both are solid teams who should be challenging for the play-offs.
