About to get 2 mil from the sale of McBurnie to Sheff Utd. They'll be the team to beat this season.

They were always going to be anyway.

Nailed on champions.

Nah, don't think so.

Relegated teams rarely bounce back straight away. They may have the resources to challenge, but I don't think they'll run away with it.

Plymouth will be up there.

Absolutely they will. I'm fully expecting it to be neck and neck between Plymouth and Bradford . Normally at the beginning of a new season I feel a bit excited that this could be our season for promotion. Last season was fantastic winning the National League and promotion . This season I just feel flat . Losing our top goal scorers and JE in such sad circumstances has put a real dampener on things for me . Also our current lack of new signings has been disappointing . For the first time in decades I'm totally not bothered about promotion . All I care about this season is survival which means we can't sell anymore of our best players if we want to finish outside the bottom two . We simply can't afford to get relegated back down to the National League again .

For sure the league will be competitive but at the moment it really is difficult to see past Plymouth and Bradford as the two main challengers
