Title: Who's going to win the league
Post by: party boy on June 30, 2017, 02:55:26 AM
It's a tough one but I have a feeling that Stafford or brig will be the top two

Even though it's merely achieving promotion rather than earning it I'd snap your hand off if u gave me promotion through the play offs now,we just need to get out of this league!

If we don't get out of this league at the first time of asking it will be an even bigger disaster than last season's debacle.

In which direction?

I don't think it will be easy.  Winning a league is more than being the best team, its consistency and grinding out results when things aren't quite working, we will still need our fair share

absolutely and we have a new manager and lots of new recruits

Great teams have to mould build and gel

Anyone who thinks that happens overnight has never led motivated or managed people

The best teams I ever led took days weeks and months of coaching training and leadership to be number 1 

There is no magic wand

Don't get me wrong i want us up out of this league as much as everyone at this club

I agree but having the squad assembled early helps. We can hit the ground running with training already started, the squad already completed, and quite a few friendlies arranged already.

What has arranging friendlies early got to do with anything???

Maybe not that the friendlies have been arranged already but I don't recall how many friendlies we usually have, 9 seems a couple more than usual?

I think 9 games with a squad more or less fully assembled means we will be in an infinitely better position than last season.

I think Parky probably has a fair idea of his team and what he wants and it will force the squad to gel and perform.

I don't really care how we go up as long as we do.

Shaw lane will most likely be an (aqua) force next season. If we finish above them I think we'll be in the playoffs at least.

Over the past five years the number of PSFs has varied from seven (2013 & 2016) to eight (2012, 2014, 2015), so yes, it's more than usual but not by much.

Under Lee Sinnott we always had a "team bonding weekend" which meant one less friendly.

I genuinely have no idea of the standard but what I do know is that last season we beat Blyth who ran away with it, on their ground in the Trophy, and even allowing for the fact they were likely focusing on the league, that really tells its own story, The worst by a very large distance modern day Alty side most of us can recall beat the league champions of the league we've just been relegated too 6 months ago has to count for something.

There's no doubt we'll be a lot of sides cup finals but unllke the coalition of chaos last pre-season I get the impression Parkinson actually knows what he's doing. We'll soon find out but if as an absolute minimum we are not in the play offs come late April we might as well give up.

Hopefully we will win it....
We don't want any excuses, starting with a win at Whitchurch next Sat. in our first friendly of the new season.

I will be there, I may even bring the dog... I will ring them up and see what the score is about dogs on leads...

He could well lick him to death, he is as soft as sh1t, just a sprocker spaniel who is a bit mental  ;)

No idea who will win the league as I know nothing about this level and it be odd if I did,what I do know is most teams who get relegated by about 15 points don't go up the next season at any level
