- Crowds have held up despite the boredom factor and a good season would see 20,000 plus again. Decent attacking football will see a return to some semblance of atmosphere and the Lane will be rocking again. I for one can't wait to see us "get at" teams a bit more and not let Fleetwood come up to S2 and dominate us. That ends now hopefully.
- Academy continues to churn out quality young players; DCL looks to be the next one off the conveyor belt and given his size I think he'll bring something different to the table. Reed can only continue to improve and we forget he's only 17!
- We've got some very good players at this level on their day - Murphy, Scougall, Done, Basham, Brayford, Flynn are all very good players in League 1 at their best. I think McNulty in a front two (!) pairing could be a superb prospect. If you can get Howard and Harris at a consistent level they are very good performers. Wallace and TK if fit are excellent players. There's a very good squad there in patches, with the need for 3-4 quality additions.
- The board are serious about promotion and will invest again. We should see some incoming players in the coming weeks and hopefully a better recruitment approach. We signed 20 players last season - unheard of! Let's get it right this time.
- The days of dogmatically sticking to 4-5-1 at home should be over and we should "have a go" at teams. I'd expect a bit more tactical variation as well.
We need a manager with a track record of delivery. Not stability, delivery. I see one outstanding candidate out there (Adkins). Let's go after him and get him.
