Can anyone find....a positive post about the forthcoming season on this forum?? I find it a completely depressing read how few on here are ready to give City a chance this season. We have no idea how we're going to get on, but the least we can do is show some support and look for the positive stuff!!! Rant over....PUSB!!

We're going to win the league without dropping any points.
Mcnulty and Biamou will score 30 each.
Wasps will fold.
Sisu will sell to a Chinese billionaire.
And Kyel Reid will be sold to the lowest bidder.

How's that.

I think we will be promoted but I have thought that every year since we first got relegated from the prem.

The league was shit last year and that was one higher than this one.

A lot of people have predicted City to win the league in the prediction for the 4 league winners.

Yes...but generally it seems easier to find fault. We know what's not right...but let's make the most of what we have and trust in MR.

Lots of right backs we can certainly make the most them! ; )

I have constantly said that I am feeling confident about this season. Take a look at the other squads. You wouldn't look at them and think they are better than ours. Yes there is the occasional player. We could still do with a decent striker. But we are not looking bad at all.

Sisu out.look we must be a play off team at least. Mustn't we.

Yeah, lots of people saying we are going to go up as champions.

Sorry that is too fault finding and not positive enough for you.

steve82 · Jul 19, 2017

I think there are more fans on here thinking we're going up as opposed to a outside the top 10 finish or worse

Not seen much depression in the form of lack of hope.

Liquid Gold · Jul 19, 2017

I won't have to bump into I don't know why I bother or afan4life at any games. That's got to be a positive.

To be fair, I was just thinking the same thing. Negativity seems to have taken over a few threads but it's generally the same few people. I think it's maybe a result of most business being done early and people now worrying that we aren't signing people.

harvey098 · Jul 19, 2017

I'm generally an optimistic fan but I really struggle to see how we can be thinking of challenging for the title... our defence will be ok but how are we going to score goals? We don't have a creative player, we don't have a goalscorer.

If that changes before the end of the window then my mind will too but right now I don't get where the optimism is coming from?

RFC · Jul 19, 2017

Lost 13 (including loans) signed 9 on permanent deals + most of those offered deal have accepted (apart from Bigi & Thomas).

Time for him to get his head together and sign a four year deal with the option to talk to Premiership & Championship clubs if their offers are accepted.

I anticipate at least four or five more signings with the possibility of a decent loan or two.

Have faith in Mark Robins and get behind the team!

It's funny how people see things differently, but after the last few seasons 'on & off the pitch'
And especially last seasons debacle, I've been amazed at the positive attitude towards the
New season.

We have players that have been team captain. We have players that have gained promotion elsewhere. So we have players that have experienced winning for once. And the job of captain will be covered by more than one player. That to me is a big plus.

Tim Fisher going to resign and open a chip shop in Epping with Waggott, Venus and Joy working alternative shifts on the serving counter.

My feeling is people are being over optimistic too early in the rebuilding process. The danger of this if we don't get off to a good start or stall after a few months we will have the sack the manager chorus all over again.

So far things are looking hopeful, but we are 4 or 5 short. Yes a few are still making up their minds and we may have a couple of irons in the fire. I can't see us achieving instant success but that isn't necessarily a criticism of MR.

Seamus1 · Jul 19, 2017

Positive news: we can go up without having to break our 40 odd year record of never finishing inside the top 6!

Chip Shop to be called ' Battered by everyone?' with a sign in the window saying ' new shop opening in Northampton soon'

CovBurty · Jul 19, 2017

Notts County first game i'm going for a positive 3-0 win. What happens after that who knows! Surely we must finish minimum top 3. No cup runs, just a promotion to keep us all happy. Mark Robins to stay at least one season.

That's fair enough, but I was answering the OP who asked "can anyone find a positive
Post anywhere on this forum about the forthcoming season" I was just saying I think
There's been plenty of positive posts.

As soon as we released Lameiras I put my life savings on us winning the league. :angelic: I didn't need that 75p anyway.

Because the sesson hasn't started yet and a lot of us are convinced Robins will address the inadequacies you have mentioned.

Looks like he may well have recruited really well thus far, so we have every reason he will bring in the very people you have described and if we are not able to sign another goalgetting striker I am sure we will be bringing in a young loanee striker from the Premier or Championship.

Hopefully another Adam Armstrong.

I'm the exact same...
promotion is not guaranteed at all it's a tough poor league, that said I am hopeful of being in and around the top 10 within a shout of a play off place

I'm very happy with recruitment so far, he's addressed 9 areas of the pitch so far and got a player in for that position.
The character of the players look like they have strong mentalities and a few are previous leaders/captains at previous clubs so the make up of the players looks right.
I still feel we're a few key positions short but there's plenty of time to address them and that will throw weight behind any real confidence of promotion.

Can we gel all that on the pitch with a performance to go with it on a regular basis remains to be seen but we look equipped to go toe to toe unlike previous seasons.

The key for me is the fans, the 12th man to remain behind the players if things do start slowly and not get on there backs.
There is a few who could be the boo boys favourite targets but I feel we need to support and encourage them with MR and TW. They've identified these to represent us for the next 2 years.

Liquid Gold · Jul 20, 2017

I feel like were going to have enough about us to grind out some 1-0 wins this season. Not concede late goals and generally not be pushovers.

Manchester_sky_blue · Jul 20, 2017

I've bet on us to win the league, perhaps frivolously but sure it's only money.......

In all seriousness though i am optimistic, i think we have a decent manager, the makings of a reasonable squad and more to come.
