I thought this was a fred about Bert Head v Paul Hart and went into it thinking this will be a piece of piss to decide!
I reckon the Town will start slow/struggle but build up momentum going into the Jan Transfer Window sitting around mid-table. I think that transfer window will be key. By then a good chunk of financial limitations should be dealt with/gone/agreed and the finishing position objective may change as the management aim to grab play-offs (maybe even better).
Personally, I think Town will end up 9th or 10th on a pretty strong finish. We'll likely be reflecting short term in rueing the delayed pre-season/slow start. However, the long term will be pointing towards a target of auto promotion in the following season.
Come on you mighty fucking reds!
