Hoping for:-
a higher finish than last season.
a few more home wins.
a style of play that is a bit easier to watch.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

That's not a fear, it's a reality with the miserable old fuckstick.
Hope top 3, expect top 7.
Fears. Nothing happens Ground, or training ground wise.

I worry about depth. Defence is a concern that could be solved within days. Midfield is fine. I'm hoping we benefit from Elijah Adebayo having a breakout season.
My prediction is a similar experience to 2017-18 (but that could result in a Play-Off place)
We need to stay in the Football League until 2020-21 for our 100 consecutive years. God I hope they don't let me down on that front...

Hope: We grab a playoff spot. Can't in any way shape or form see an autos place.
Expect: slightly worse than last year (10th-12th), based on today's (Sunday) squad. Which can change.
Fear: a dodgy start, 4.5k gates. Brown stuffing it up given are a week away and only just getting the type of player I expected + looking at 37 year old target men after already signing a younger one on loan.
We'll have to do a poll after 9th, then again after 31st.

Hope - A promotion challenge that goes to the final few games.
Fears - Poor start that leads to unrest and an negative atmosphere at home games.
Prediction - Position 6-10

I worry about depth.
Possibly the wrong thread for such a concern, plus I understand girth i more important anyway? I suspect we will have a similar season to this one, hope we are more consistent but fear the fans will turn after about 2 games at the first opportunity.

Hope - Automatics Expect - Play offs Predict - 9th Fear - We don't get a striker that can bag 20 goals and get injuries in defence again causing a dip in form. Extra hope - we trash Mansfield home and away who sack Flipflop by Christmas. Extra extra hope - we have a good cup run to bring extra money and fans in. Extra extra extra hope - we have a style of play that attracts new fans.

Hopes:
1. a promotion season (preferably via top 3). Isn't it everyone's? 2. improved home form (the last couple of seasons have been dismal, making trips to the CG a chore). 3. that the Town End re-discovers it's voice (see 2 above).
Fears:
1. another mediocre season of mostly failure to get it right on and off the pitch. 2. The Council ballsing-up the CG sale.
Predictions:
1. a 10th place finish. 2. Lee Power 'survives' the Trust's attempt to secure the future of the CG and the unsatisfactory status quo continues.
