Wigan third home game! Lets hope they are still in disarray so we smash them 6-0 

Tasty.

Got to be honest and say that those fixtures this year look nowhere near as daunting as last year and give me even more confidence that we’ll make the automatics this season. We have a good starting month where we could certainly expect to be sitting at or near top spot and also the run in doesn’t look massively difficult either. If IE and CM just get the right players in I see nothing there to compare with the last few seasons with the Wendies, Ipswich, Sunderland’s and Plymouths, even Wigan with the money they threw at it but won’t this time. Yes, it all looks extremely doable from where I sit so it’s over to you Ian.

I think you need to accept there's little chance of automatic promotion with the way things are shaping up, if you don't you're going to wear your hands out.

We've got the same strike force that the manager admitted wasn't good enough, lost our two best players, and the signing of a mid-table League 2 player shows the transfer level we are at.

Play-offs would be a success with the squad as it is but to get there we need a lot of luck and for the manager to consider a plan B. Mid-table is probably a par score right now, but I'm not ruling out a relegation battle.

Nats right I'm afraid though Id be very disappointed if we're not winning a majority of those first few games. 

Without quality up top were looking at playoffs again. Maybe lower.
