Mark Nisbit insists automatic promotion must be the target

I would hope that we can see further progress and achieve 92 points this season, which should ensure we at least finish in the top 3, and continue to see an improvement in attendances and have a league match average in excess of 700.

 

And I would love to see us get to the First Round proper of the FA Cup.

 

What are your hopes, dreams, or expectations for this season?

The league will be tougher the season with more clubs in the mix at the top end. So I'd say we'll do well to get top 5 again, not to say we can't get top spot. Of the 4 that have been promoted 3 of them are all capable of top 5 with the exception of Tiverton. Then you have the relegated sides that will be up there although personally not sure about Gosport yet (soon find out!). Then you add in all the existing clubs like Kettering, Weymouth, Hitchin, Merthyr, Kings Lynn to name a few and you can see how competitive it could be.

I think we need a months worth of results both ours and everyone else's before taking a shot at that prediction.We can all see the quality thats been introduced to the squad Well done Neil/Jon although I can see a difficulty with giving players who could step into any other side in the league sufficient game time to retain them.Sone of our fancied rivals have lost many key players from last time Are their replacements as good/better? Only time will tell. Who will be this seasons dark horse(s) Theres always one. I will give my prediction re our likely success mid Sept.

[Longshot]

As at the start of every season the first target for all clubs is to get enough points to ensure that you cannot be relegated. Once that has been secured you push on for glory.

[Curtis]

Restructuring of Step 3 & 4 from 2018/9 means that only one club will be relegated from our division this season.

[Stuntman Mark]

I expect us to challenge for the title this year.

[Reading Rebel]

Every clubs expectations should be to improve on last season.

 

Without doubt, on paper and on pre-season performances, we have a better squad than last season so I expect us to be in the mix for the title.

 

A good cup run is always a nice bonus.

[Longshot]

If only one club is to be relegated this year, What would you deem the required points total to be to be safe.

[staines_rebel_Jr]

We might have an unusual situation with a few teams copying what Burnham did a few years ago. Invest early on and get enough points to be safe then withdraw any money they can to save it up for next season. Which could end up with a tough first half of the season and comparatively wavy second half.

[Irishadrian]

RR Sometimes good cup runs and likely replays can only be to the detriment of league results when we end up playing catch up on a fixture backlog.

[3spirit]

Hopes - that Slough can win the title and that we are not disgraced in any of our cup matches.

 

Dreams- that Slough play dazzling football and win the title by a big margin. Also that a buxom leggy gorgeous brunette, with a love of cooking and cleaning and bedroom antics, arrives in my life !

 

Expectations- I'm sure I can see those pigs on the horizon now ! ha ha ha !

[GlenSTFC]

Sue can you help with number 2?

 Glennie you are a wit.

[Mark44]

From what I have seen I have no doubt that we can win the league

 

What will really be key is how well we can play on boggy pitches away from home 2nd half of the season. I also think Hereford will strengthen as the season goes on and have the buying power to do so and so I think getting a lead on them points wise will be crucial

[GlenSTFC]

That was wit right? ?

I think we need to give it a couple of months to see how the table looks as there's so many teams that could be involved at the top end it's impossible to predict until we get going.

Dam spell check      

[PaxtonLee]

Hope for promotion, good football and growing attendances. Dream of a Cup run and a plum tie. Expect to challenge.

[redwine rebel]

I think you definately left the T off at the beginning for Glennie !!

[Martin]

I hope that there are no wild overreaction if there is a run of results one way or the other. I expect it will be impossible to please all of the people all of the time. I dream of an atmosphere like that generated in the shed second half of the Leamington play off game.

I thought it might be interesting to look back at people’s hopes, dreams & expectations at the beginning of last season.....
