Anything less than Champions with 100+ points and 200+ goals and I won't bother going.

What this statement says to me is that hes willing to back Wilson to bring in the players he needs to push for the play offs.

I thought the same. We don't know what budget Fitton has given Wilson, for all we know he could have said £500k plus whatever we get from Cox if he goes. Maybe we could see 4 or 5 signings around the £200k mark, I can't see us paying much above that and they'd all be youngsters (say under 24).

I'd imagine its slightly easier for Wilson to sign decent players than it was for Malpas.

we're not even halfway through june yet.

I think you missed my point. I am agreeing that aiming for 6th is lacking ambition. We should be aiming at the top spot and nothing else.

My point about the players is that Fitton should set our target when we have the full squad. He can't target us at playoffs yet with our squad.

If league one was a boxing match it would be stopped by Xmas, where the fuck have I heard that before.  Oh yes, some scum down the A420!

If thats what fitton wants then he has to back Wilson which to be honest he has done so far. Was reading a few other forums where a few fans seem to think with the signings we have made and the possible arrival of Robinson that we are signing some quite decent players.

Although way too early to be making judgements, next seasons prospects need to be judged against the background that entering the final year of this decade, we've managed one top ten finish, at Div 3 level. That being when the old Board decided to go for it, and spent a fair wedge of money that we didn't have...on the likes of Mooney, Igoe, Evans, Howard, O'Hanlon, Nicho....

That gives a kind of indicator of what we should hope for, if the Board are serious about having a decent season, rather than just trying to avoid another relegation scrap.

Personally I'll settle for what Wilson did at HPool, namely a decent attacking side at home scoring plenty of goals, which makes going down unlikely, and provides some entertainment and a good few wins, a bit like we were the season before last under Sturrock and Malpas.

We've managed two top ten finishes in this decade Reg. That doesn't make us much less crap though  Cool

I don't think targeting the play-offs is that big a joke, nor that we need to get that many more players in. We seriously under-performed last season, there weren't that many teams that came to the CG and outplayed us or were noticeably better - maybe 2 or 3. Its not that we were lacking the players, they just played shit. Add on all the points we lost in the last 5 minutes of games and a bit more luck and we'd have been near the play-offs.

Our squad is looking like it will be stronger than last season plus we have a decent manager from the off. A good start to the season to get the confidence up and then the play-offs will be achievable, more so if we get a few more decent players.
