If that's what you meant about the defence then it's a fair point, without Dawson we do look weaker, but a fit Wheater and 2 solid full backs should help negate that loss. 

To your points ..... you don't know if we are fit or not ....Rotherham and Shrews apparently are just as fit if not fitter!!!! 

We were comparing us now to last season, not us to the opposition. Dougie clearly sorted out the fitness last year - my point was that's a reason to be more positive than this time last year.

I don't think Ream at left back is a strange decision at all, he's experimenting in a pre season match. Ream would suit LB quite well by his style of play; good on the ball, quick and can tackle why not give that a try?

Losing Dawson is a loss, Spearing has been replaced by Medo a more box to box partner for him would be my preference, ideally Holden but we'll see how he gets on.

So for me we're much stronger than we were last year, a competent manager, improved fitness and a better squad.

Fair enough .... lets resume discussion after the next warm up on Tuesday.

So yes I still feel as positive about next season, play offs if we don't sign a centre back to replace Dawson, automatic if we do.

What's your prediction?

What pot of gold?
