Although last season was truly awful one thing it has done is reduce expectation, and therefore pressure, on us to be up with the leaders. I fancy that back-to-back Top 6 finishes and a big name in Hyypia didn't help us in 2014/15, notwithstanding Burke's deals were largely abysmal.

I don't envy Boro or Derby County. Those are the two everyone's talking about yet they both bottled it at the end of last season and they don't have the resources of parachute payments either.

Don't think we are a play off team yet, but I do think we are light years from where we were last season and with the right addition or two it could be interesting.

If the sides that got promoted were always the strongest squads we would have no chance, but they are not, and we do.

Problem is, we as football fans will have moist knickers again as soon as we reach September and within spitting distance of a playoff position

I do think we will have a very good season and that is maybe because the expectations are a little more realistic when we actually have a group of players who could gel into a very formidable team. I can feel it in my bones I tell thee.

I'll be happy if we can win a game in October this season.

For the first season at the Amex I am without expectation.

I am about there as well however if we can stay injury free we do look in a good place.
