Yep, dire financial situation, spending six figure sums on strikers. I think you'll find that Ridsdale's at Plymouth, not Swindon.

That Ricky Otto chap appears to have a rather large chip on his shoulder.

...and complaining that we think we're so superior.
Well, er...yes. (Sorry, but how else are we meant to respond to that?!)

To be fair, someone did say that that forum is the Oxford equivalent of the Adver site (thisis...). There is another site somewhere with less knuckle-dragging involved, but the post count is a lot lower.

They're not alone. quite a few other fans don't fancy our chances. Not sure what that's based on, but does seem odd. I guess we were bottom and utter dross last year, and many fans won't know the extent of our rebuild in the summer. |

For what it's worth, I haven't got the first idea how we'll do next year either. You only have to remember the consensus on here this time last year which (apart from Reg) appeared to be that we would be there or thereabouts and hopefully worth a play off place again. We couldn't have been more wrong. Trying to guess how we might do when there are even more unknowns out there is a mug's game.
All I would say is that over time, I expect that our set up, relatively strong fanbase (for the division) and financial stability will tell. A bounce back season like we had in 2006/07 would be good, but we'll not know whether that's feasible or not until October.

I agree with all that Mr Ardiles - even more so given the nature of our squad this season and the fact our manager has never managed... my bemusement was based more on the fact that teams coming down are usually considered among the teams you might fancy to have a good season.
But a lot of fans of other clubs appear to have completely written us off, which I just thought was a bit odd.

Here's hoping they don't know something we're unaware of!!
Personally, I think we'll have a decent season, but I think it will be tough. There are up to eight teams capable of finishing top three on the basis of current squads.
Gonna be tricky.

I think our aim should be the play offs. It's gonna be hard, no doubt about it. This looks to be one of the more competetive league two seasons in a while.

Whats the point in aiming for second best? That Plymouth post cracked me up, so true. The Pox dont really know their place in the Football League anymore, going to take them a while to find some perspective. |
