as Slav takes over the reins.Good luck to him, he'll need it.
So, the new man's in. What will be judged as success?
1)Automatic promotion
2)Promotion through the play off's
3) play off position finish
4) top 10 finish.
The expectations are massive. many seem to think we will walk it and a return to the Promised Land is guaranteed. Our non scoring strikers will score goals for fun and last season's abysmal performances, lack of initiative, guts, and focus will magically disappear as we stride forward without a hint of a hangover.
For me, I reckon we'll be back to 'same owd', flattering to deceive for a while and ending up mid table.
I can't see some of the duds transforming magically-McB, Moose, Brewster, Burke- just don't have the basics in place to be top players even in the Champ and i wouldn't be surprised if Billy ends up top scorer.
Obviously I hope for better, will still be disappointed if we don't get promoted but I think last year's disastrous performances won't just drift away and we will turn the clock back to the 'good old days' of 2-3 yrs ago.
