Good motivation for the lads.

Opinions mean precisely nowt once the action gets underway. It's up to us to decide our own destiny and prove the doubters wrong.

[Mrs Warbouys]

I'd fancy aldershot to finish below us so by his reckoning they are f**ked

[wayno]

Sod em other teams underestimating us is a positive really

As long as we turn up to every game and give 100% we will be fine

Looking forward to Saturday now

Come on you reds

It's not other teams it's bookies however it's nowt to worry about they get a lot less right at this level than league and top flight football

I suppose we should be grateful they didn't put "town" after our name

I'd love to put "down" after theirs.

To be fair, I'm not sure what other conclusion they can come to from afar. I mean, the best research they could do is to come on here and the consensus would be that,if not uninspiring, the new signings haven't really got us turning cartwheels. The drop off to 17th place due to a small squad combined with second seasons struggles for promoted signs (in the absence of major financial backing) only lends itself to one conclusion - if you're on a supporters forum down South, I'd expect closer analysis from bookies.

I'm not saying I agree just that it's reasonable forecast.

For the record, I think they're over looking the effect even a slight improvement on our record against the bottom third sides will have. We've got some wriggle room there.

Also, not sure why so many just say Reeves goals give Alty a fighting chance, he wasn't just into double figures he was more or less the leagues leading scorer from open play. Teams by and large don't get relegated with scorers like that (Tony Gray at Telford being a statistical oddity of an exception I'd say).

Spot on Ballers
So called pundits / prediction analysts are only guessing anyway.....no matter who they are or what they know, but they look at key things : part-time, small squad, poor last ten games the previous season, no sensational signings closed season etc...........they will then look at all the other clubs and come up with a prediction...nothing more than that

So let's hope we are the surprise package and as Ballers says, if we actually pick up any points this season from the teams everybody else beats home and away, then that will certainly make a big difference
