Right then, I know it's the natural domain of the BHA fan to err on the side of caution, but I feel a growing sense of momentum on every front. I have such faith in the mighty bald man that I think promotion has to be a real possibility this season. With two more quality signings (centre mid +another winger) we can do this. The man himself has said he's looking in this area so he must have the wonga to see it through. The defence looks just about complete to me with 2 quality keepers, sound left and right (hurry up Jimmy) and now a bunch of great centre halves. We've got strikers coming out of our ears, admittedly some better than others, OGH, Murray, Dickinson, Forster, Davies. Girders going in at Falmer and in the back of my mind I've a feeling Lynch and Murray will realise Slade is God and will stay. The bookies now have us down to 14/1. We CAN do this. Thoughts please, am I delusional?

is it 14/1 to win the title or to get promoted as the promotion is in reach but not to sure yet about the title. I guess we will only know after 10 games or so as it takes teams a while to gel but yes I am feeling a lot happier and more confident about the team that I was last year.

Dont jump the gun just yet , we were anticipating a brilliant forthcoming season at the same time last year.

Things are certainly looking positive but I think people are getting a bit carried away with all this talk of promotion!
I really hope people don't expect too much of Slade and our new look team in their first season, i'd hate it if people were calling for the mans head if we're sitting mid table at Christmas.

I thinks its only about 7/2 to get promoted
My thoughts exactly. We are in team rebuilding mode. I think its next season when it may/should all fall into place

I agree! I've had a nagging optimism nibbling at my insides over the past week or so that, try as I might, I just can't shift. If it is delusional, then I'm certainly going to enjoy it, right up until we get tonked for 6 by Walsall.

Stupid IDIOT
At the risk of SOUNDING like Uncle Spielberg the 16/1 for the Albion to BE relegated is SIMPLY massive and now is the time to BET like MEN.
With a non league BALDY clown as manager ASSISTED by a couple of IDIOTS we COULD have signed Ronaldo and Kaka and STILL be useless.
SLADE OUT
SACK THE BOARD

Do we have to be in the top six by October this year?

I have a good feeling about the way the squad is shaping up, but that's tempered by the fact Murray could leave and Lynch could get the hump again.
This team had radical surgery - new keeper, left-back, three new midfielders, a new forward - so it will take time to gel AND I think the division will be stronger than last season.
I also thought Micky Adams had bought well last summer but it didn't work out that way. Beating Havant and Worthing doesn't count for much either. If, after 3 or 4 matches, there is evidence that work on the training ground is translating to the pitch on a Saturday then we might be in business.

I love pre-season. None of that bloomin' football to dampen our expectations.

The words 'Slade' & 'gel' are not usually mentioned together in the same sentance
