Not having WG’s incredible memory of other teams players capabilities I’m going to reserve judgement until we have played a few games.
How well the new lads perform in an Iron shirt and how well Smith and Hurst deliver on past promise will make the difference between playoff push and flirting with the bottom 4.
We understandably won’t be challenging for automatic promotion given once again there will be half a dozen clubs with significantly bigger budgets and 1 or 2 of them will have spent wisely.
Neither do I think we are relegation fodder even if most of the new lads disappoint. Will save my prediction until end August/early September. Need to be sure he who is always right isn’t having another flirtation with 5 at the back.
