I think at least two thirds of the league will. Given the fact that ALL the important members of our squad are still in place, I don't understand some of the negativity on here. The new signings look good on paper ( I know they always do...until we see them on grass). Kemp should bring goals and Freestone was Cheltenham's best player by some distance (my son lives in Chelt and their fans were gutted to see him go). If Alex Revell is ever to make an impact as a manager, he surely has the squad to do it.
I suppose optimism v pessimism depends on whether you saw us last season as a top six side that rather lost the plot in the final third of the season, or a mid-table side that over-achieved in the first two thirds. I'm inclined to go with the former. My belief is that after having a massively positive influence on the club, in the end Steve Evans was the main reason we fell away so badly. There were mitigating factors (Forster-Caskey's injury and Jordan Roberts baffling loss of form) but the Oliver experiment was a disaster (how many goals did we score while he was on the pitch?). Buggering around with the goalkeepers had a negative effect on the defence; leaving Pressley on the naughty step post Derby was wrong, too. Freeman, our best player midfield player mid-season, barely got a start.
