    so how many of you are feeling confident, comfortable ... hopeful???

    its getting so obvious that the targets are slipping lower and lower... and we are being shunned... so lesser and lesser talent is coming. Right now I am starting to wonder if L1 Survival is gonna be the best we can hope for....... I began my love affair with 'Toby Tyke' and his friends in 1960.... 4th tier if I remember ... my love will never diminish.... but I wish they would stop dangling carrots in front of the fans.

    I just wish BFC would choose a level.. stick with it and just give us joy

    All this about we need 7 or 8 more players minimum is a load of ******. Im happy with the additions that have been made, I was hoping for a few wingers to run at defenders but dont think we will see that we will bring in a striker or 2 and a rb if mason gos I think.

    I think wingers or at least players who are capable of running with the ball like John O'Sullivan/Ryan Williams will be desperately needed and will come in on loan..

    Even with the current squad we will comfortably finish top half. And no its not obvious that we are being shunned. We are holding out until the Holgate and Stones money comes in.

    I'm concerned. We have a decent starting XI when all players are fit but we know that keeping all our players fit is a very tall order.

    I'm also worried about how we're going to set up. I really hoped we'd be striving to play with some width and with a player or two who scare defenders by running at them but I'm not so confident that will be the case

    We'll see, LJ may have a few aces up his sleeve yet.

    I really hope we don't see much of 4-5-1 at home but I fear you're right.

    Two tricky wingers and a pacey striker and my optimism would come straight back
