Where's 5minstogo when you need him?  I want to know where we'll finish this season.

It would definitely be easier next season.

8th for me. Promotion next season.

It would definitely be easier next season.

Why would it?

The prospect of yet another season in this dreadful league could result in the loss of our manager, again, and the loss of our better players, and the loss of several rejuvenated fans.

We've got to really go for it this season. Another season of failing to reach our objectives could be costly.

That’s catastrophizing a bit. I’m just saying the standard of the division will be lower next year. Where have I said we shouldn’t or couldn’t go for it?

[DearneValleyRover]

Top ten for me

I think on paper and business done there is half a dozen better teams.....but doesn't always matter what it looks like on paper case and point Leicester City PL champions!

I am genuinly behind a push for winning the league. I still think we are short of a big marque signing that we were expecting....also GM discussed this and basically said waiting for the club to release or agree, now the kid we just signed was a free agent so still a signing to come?????

I'm predicting playoffs currently.

Sign Billy and we have won the league.

Heart says playoffs . Head says mid table struggle. I’m not convinced we have the strike force needed to score regularly. So happy to be proved wrong .

As in 1960's 9th and champions following year.

Yep got to go for it. However a poor season and nobody will be going anywhere. There’s two and a half years of crap to sort out, it’s going to take more than a few months to put right.
11th this next season, then another build, and automatic season after this.

[Colin C No.3]

Seventh.

[Campsall rover]

I will do my full League prediction the week before the 1st match.
Too early to assess our prospects right now especially after that game last night which was the 1st pre season game I have been to.

[Copps is Magic]

6th to 12th based on current evidence and showings.

Nobody going anywhere? You just watch ST sales next summer if it follows another season of mediocrity. This summer's ST boost is purely because of Terry's cash input, and the return of GM. Terry turns 81 next year, and he won't be funding us forever.

If it becomes clear to GM that this funding and these players aren't good enough to gain promotion, then why would he think that next season will be better? Why would anyone?

I'd like to know what evidence people are basing it on, when they suggest that we'll fail this season, but succeed next season.

[ravenrover]

For me this cash injection is a one off this season only

[DonnyBazR0ver]

For me this cash injection is a one off this season only

It can't be. With the number of permanent players acquired, there's already contract commitments beyond this season. If the extra funds were purely to cover transfer fees and loan fees then that could be true but it's contributing to the total budget. Once the bar is raised, then it will have to be sustained for a couple or three seasons at least either through TB and Club Doncaster income or a combination of both. If by then, we've achieved promotion then, additional income from being in League One might mitigate what extra TBs put in, unless he chooses to keep putting in up front. Let's not forget, he's also covering any losses at the end of each financial year.

I don't think it's a sh*t or bust situation. In addition, I don't think McCann would be here if he didn't think he was going to be reasonably backed to compete at the top end of the division.

Hoping for playoffs but I think a key area we have really messed up on is having a decent goalkeeper. No trust in Lawlor or Jones.

Excited by the signing of Woods but fear he might struggle for fitness for the entire season so another centre half is definitely needed as Anderson clearly won't be fit.

All 3 strikers are good for this level but are we missing an out and out goalscorer still?? Not convinced Roberts is that man but hope to be proven wrong.

In McCann we trust.

Regarding that first paragraph, I've just seen last night's highlights, and the only player who did anything memorable was Lawlor, with 3 very good saves.

I didn't notice anyone else doing anything of note.

4th - 7th

[Michael Shaw]

I previously said 6th, now 9th.

[DearneValleyRover]

We are still a couple of players short, a good strong ball winning midfielder and a creative midfielder
