Why?
We have a better squad and 1st team than most. We don't need to have a much better team and squad than everyone to go up. It is debatable if our squad is as strong as a whole to last season. It isn't debatable about our opponents. Is AT good enough to help get us promoted? We will soon find out. First few games to find our feet in Div3 then it will be time to push on.
No more excuses. Not from me anyway.
Clingan
Mcpake
Keogh

Out
In two untested in this country French defenders
Fleck lots of potential but unknown how it will pan out
Ball and Brown young loannes so a 50 50 gamble.
Kilban old now but imo the only signing where we know we will get quality.
Elliott ability, but injured for past 7 seasons.
So 8 first steamers out.
7 in 2 or 3 of whom will be first teamers in.
This from a squad that everybody at the end of the season. SISU, players, manager and most fans accepted was from a squad that was too small in terms of experienced players.
We play just as many games in this division. Yes the quality is less but the physical demands are the same.
So in terms of players that actually contribute hence why I have not mentioned freddy. From a squad that needed more players we are now one down
Thomas and chritie are already injured.
We are back in the scenario where our first 11 will be able to beat anyone.
However we will have no depth.
Someone said we need 22 experienced players, 2 in each role, then then the kids.
We don't have that.
Injuries to cody and Clarke for example. Then picture the team that will be trotting out.
No excuses this squad as it stands mid table. Someone with bite, someone who can create and another goal scorer play offs a cert.
