Next seasons league position-

[michael]

Who does everyone think will be the teams to watch next season.

 

I think we will definately be on for a top half finish and it will be brilliant not to be flirting with relegation.

 

However, the league looks stronger than last year to me,and there seems a bit too much over-confidence around to me (M Rowletts interview for example).

With only two promotion places ,i think our work will be cut out.

 

Strong squads-either existing or being assembled-seem to be there from Wimbledon,Billericay,Bromley,Chelmsford,Boreham Wood,Staines,Worthing,Heybridge.

 

I'd put us in that lot, but not necessarily ahead of any of them.

 

I think expectations may be a bit too high-its a very tough league

 

surprise successful package-Tonbridge.

 

Team who will disappoint-Hampton-reckon they will not be so good next year

Would agree with the teams you have mentioned MM and would add in Hampton. They have signed Slough's two best players and look to have strong funding behind them. Chelmsford and AFC Wimbledon are the two teams making their signings now who look like being the main two to watch. Bromley could be if their manager is a success. It could all end in tears there though. Billericay have a good core of players.

Don't forget Ramsgate! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Too late, I already have!

AFC Norbiton will finish in the lower half of the table. The team to watch is the Lillywhites of Mark Goldberg. However my tip for the top will be Hampton 2 quality signings from Slough. The Clarets will struggle and even finish behind 'ricay and the other men from Essex.

 

As for the GATE I never predict what my own team will do.

Nor better had I eh?

Seems you are trying to throw cold water on the team before they have had a chance. Lets be positive micheal. I for one have had enough of negativity over the past few seasons.

[BlueGate Alan]

Hear, hear Graeme, more than enough.

I think Michael's comments were quite sensible. There are a number of clubs who are spending big and it will be a very competitive league.

Let's not put the team and management under unnecessary pressure.
