Interesting Predictions 08/09

(Taken from the Tonbridge forum) (Maybe a bit out of date now i.e Cam.City,Farnborough,but still interesting comments)

 

Margate FC in Dreamland?. Where on earth did he get that from?

 

AFC Hornchurch- strong side good all round definiute playoff hopefuls

Ashford Town (Mx)-over achievers this year, mid table at best next

Billericay Town- always thereabouts,again top 1/3

Canvey Island -unknowns, reasobale crowds so could have a half decent budget. Bottom 1/3

Carshalton Athletic- struggled this year cant see it being different next -relagation poss

Dartford- interesting to see how Cass and May do with the big boys also Ob may struggle. Need Ryan hayes to stay fit or else a struggle-mid table

Dover Athletic- strong and strengthening squad good crowds decent budget, playoffs

Harlow Town- decent enough team struggled to score, need a striker then top half

Harrow Borough- perennial strugglers alwats avoiding the drop. Not this time

Hastings United- Dolby-relegation

Hendon- superb over achievement on small crowds and budget. Will take huge effort to repeat. Mid table

Heybridge Swifts- rumours of money trouble, relagation

Horsham- no ground =less money, players leaving, will do well to finish top half

Maidstone United, learnt the lesson that you cant come up and not improve, bottom half

Margate, serious problems in dream,land, could be a suprise relegation candidate

Ramsgate, the ultimate over achievers even with Wards hoof ball. losing key players could mean mid table

Staines Town, money from cup run and a very good side. Title candidates

Sutton United- relagfted sides often struggle more than promoted ones coming off a bad season. Top half

Tooting & Mitcham- have been building for last 3 years for promotion, should do ok, top half

Wealdstone - no ground again, struggled this year and cant see any different next.

 

Either Farnborough or cambridge.both could be serious challengers, Cambridge if they hold onto their squad could deffo be playoff material.

 

and TAFC- 3 players short at the moment of being title contenders. Need at leats one out and out striker,a creative midfielder and possibly another centre half. Playoffs yes-title ?

So will this be a repeat of last season with the fans being happy with mid table finish at the start, before we found ourselves in with an outside chance, only to fail near the end and the same fans then turning on Trott for not delivering.

You may be right Frankie.Personally I ALWAYS,every year,look for us to get promoted with whatever team we put out there but even I must admit that this year just surviving will be a major achievement(always assuming of course that that particular rumour floating around about our Directors threatening to demote us for whatever reason,dosent occur)and I sincerely hope its NOT TRUE!
Our kids I'm sure,will be more than capable of at least keeping us up & thats my prediction & expectation for next season & no more.

i do not personally think that should we amazingly be in a similar situation in 10 months time, a new manager will be deemed a failure if it does not eventually work out .

 

Lets not forget RT failed similarlytwo seasons running-leagues/cups;and ultimately was responsible for the dwindling crowds (something thsat the board have in recent weeks also managed to contiue with ).He also completelty neglected the defence,when it was obvious last may there would be a problem there.

 

RT committed self sabotage.

 

Equally the new manager has not had the advantage of working with the team and inherinting some strong signings like RT did.

 

As long as he does not talk the nonsense that RT did (we are going to bash 'em )i believe he or she will get alot of support.
