WHO THINKS

[CANV EFM]

we will win the title this year...?

im going for having it in the bag by xmas!

[pabird]

It really must be an early start as there are several clubs attempting to give it big this season

Those who feel it is essential to win and avoid the lower conference levels and the consequential much tighter chances of gaining conference 1, and those who will battle it through the whole season to ensure any conference position

It will be interesting observing George Borges latest thriller with early mid-season results turning to "unlucky" collapse end of season

 

It will be tough at the Bedfords and Suttons etc but I really believe this is Canveys season

I agree, we have a better chance this season than last.

 

Most of the dead wood has been removed from our squad, we have a fine replacement for Spencer Knight, Damon Searle could be a good aquisition and maybe Danny Curran if he's still on trial with us.

 

We will have Gavin Cowan and Jeff Minton hopefully fully fit and raring to go at the beginning of the season along with Danny Potter, (who must've dreaded his career at Park Lane after his first game) Ashley won't be on holiday unless he's celebrating his 1 year anniversary so both of our main Goalkeepers will be with us along with some players we didn't have at the start of last season.

 

We certainly do have more of a chance than last season. I thought the season before last would've been our best chance, but unfortunately we had some rival Essex inbred influence on our squad towards the end...

 

We'll just have to wait and see, Bedford will be hard to compete against. Sutton & St. Albans will be wanting to put a good run together as will Billericay, Grays & Purfleet and Kingstonian are putting a nice little Squad together at Kingsmeadow. Not to mention Ryman new-boys Kettering, who'll want to get out of this "poxy" league ASAP.

I hope we treat the freindlies more seriously this year, then perhaps we will know who the best starting 11 will be before the 1st game of the season. I'm sure one of the reasons for our bad start last year was it didn't seem to matter if we won or lost these games.

[CanveyFan]

Yeah I agree, but lets not get tooo complacent otherwise we could be out of the running by november!

[cangull]

I cannot for the life of me understand why Jeff and Glen choose to go on holiday at such a crutial time of the year, I thought friendlies were also to analise players!!

[Andy the Marsh Rat]

If Jeff & Glen "analise" all the players during the friendlys its no wonder we get off to such a bad start

[cangull]

Blimey Andy - Did I spell it wrong? Didn't check!!

Should have chosen my words better, made a right '[****!!****]' of that didn't I. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think this is Canvey's year as well. To be honest I wasn't very hopeful going into last season - maybe that was still the effects of losing the title to G&N the year before.

 

A cup run is always nice and I think we'll do better in the FA Cup and Trophy this year compared to last (forget the Bryco cup, some on the team seemed to already do that a couple of months ago anyway...), but if we fall at the first hurdles and go on to take the league then I won't be very sad <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm hoping for a short FA cup and trophy run again this year. The winners of this division in the last 3 years have got out early in the cups so they "concentrate on the league". Another factor, will Wardy be there from the start (if he's not injured) or at least have we signed someone who has his pace to get us out of trouble when need be?

[pabird]

As the new signings become clearer there does appear a subtle change from last season,No has beens but players with enough left in their pencil to make an improvement

Get off the blocks early and I really could see Canvey going all the way
