My feeling is people are being over optimistic too early in the rebuilding process. The danger of this if we don't get off to a good start or stall after a few months we will have the sack the manager chorus all over again.
So far things are looking hopeful, but we are 4 or 5 short. Yes a few are still making up their minds and we may have a couple of irons in the fire. I can't see us achieving instant success but that isn't necessarily a criticism of MR.
I'm the exact same...
promotion is not guaranteed at all it's a tough poor league, that said I am hopeful of being in and around the top 10 within a shout of a play off place
I'm very happy with recruitment so far, he's addressed 9 areas of the pitch so far and got a player in for that position.
The character of the players look like they have strong mentalities and a few are previous leaders/captains at previous clubs so the make up of the players looks right.
I still feel we're a few key positions short but there's plenty of time to address them and that will throw weight behind any real confidence of promotion.
Can we gel all that on the pitch with a performance to go with it on a regular basis remains to be seen but we look equipped to go toe to toe unlike previous seasons.
The key for me is the fans, the 12th man to remain behind the players if things do start slowly and not get on there backs.
There is a few who could be the boo boys favourite targets but I feel we need to support and encourage them with MR and TW. They've identified these to represent us for the next 2 years.
