I'm sorry but I remain to be convinced about the supposed "quality". I see no reason whatsoever for believing that the "quality" of the current squad is good enough to make the play-offs. The supposed "quality" is, in any case, only relative to the quality of the other teams in League 2. I have a strong suspicion that in so many cases their squads will be stronger than ours - for obvious reasons.

I have seen only one game so far this season - the Hull game. We did so well in that game not because we matched Hull for quality but rather because we matched, even surpassed, them in effort and determination. Those are the main qualities that have kept us in the league for ten years - against all outside expectations.

My expectations? A simple hope that we are above the bottom two teams in the league at the end of the season and we can thus look forward to another season in the Football League.
