....if you were that is. What sort of season do you think we'll have? Do you think we'll lose any of the squad and replace with new, before the new season begins?
In short, do you think there will be any changes at Priory Lane to look forward to for the new campaign??
Jim - will the Away supporters still be using Eastbourne Coach Tours for this season coming - any news?

I am quietly confident that we will do beter this season.IE at least a play off place. shhh. I think the squad we had last season was worthy of that. But we had our usual injury probs. The defence last season was sound and doesnt need improving. Maybe a bit more fire up front needed. Atkin, Harding, Lovett, Ramsay, Wilde and Tait are all capable at this standard, but riddled with inconsistency. A bit more regular goal scoring and we can go the distance. Top five will be, Newport, Havant, St albans, Welling and of course THE MIGHTY SPORTS!!!!!!!!!

We have the fire, but how much do you expect from players that have full time jobs? [glow=red,2,300]Be realistic![/glow]

Conference South Teams are all part timers, with only a few exceptions, so we should expect more of our Attack. Our Defence and Midfield were exceptional, over the Season as a whole. It was our Attack that had a poor early and mid season form, and only picked up at the end of our campaign. We needed to score more goals. Our 14+ draws (even just a few of them) would've become wins and we would've been in the Play Offs as certainties as opposed to desperately fighting for the right to qualify for Play Offs at the death IMO.
Look at the statistics, our goal scoring was not good. Yeah, we kept them out at one end...fantastic! but we couldn't put them away at the other end either...not good!
2007-8 will be different. Leach, Tait, Atkin and our midfield will score much more this season. Rambo, not sure whether he'll be the out and out scorer this season, or will be supplying the Attack and winning free kicks, instead.

Well put vern. We were one match away from play off last season,with all the injuries we had, and the back log of fixtures. With less injuries, less fixture congestion and bit more consistancy up front we are capable of a top five place. Other teams players have jobs too. So they are in no better position than we are. So i think it is quite realistic.
