Had a quick look at the teams we will be playing next year , can’t see why we won’t push the top 6 . Scumdeland the biggest side dropping into it , couple of shrewd signings and keep the majority of what we got I think we are on the up

It's keeping hold of our better players that will be the issue. Willis, Bayliss, McNulty will all attract interest I should imagine and possibly even the likes of Shipley and Hyam too.

The players we have now are older, wiser and better players than two seasons ago. The mentality has changed.

Mark Robins appears to have us heading in the right direction. Lets just spend the one season in League One.

I think we will keep most until Christmas, if we are looking good we may be able to hold on to most of them. I thought McNulty going off yesterday was his goodbye (I hope it isn't) but we do have some good prospects up front. Bayliss is the one we need to keep hold off, but I know there have been clubs sniffing around him.

I’d be happy with mid table initially; still a lot of work to do and we know all too well the difference between the divisions; we’ve been in them all after all! Anything else will be a bonus

League 1 is where MR will really earn his money. We have been promoted from a poor L2. I do not think L1 will be quite as forgiving and we can not afford to stutter like we did this season. We have momentum and a sense of positivity around the club which is all going to help but there are a number of clubs in that division that will present tough obstacles to further progress. For me the realistic target is to be pushing at the top half of the division...... but I think it doesn't hurt to dream about better

I wouldn't rely on the owners to fund more than they have they see their role as emergency bankers not speculative football club owners now. The club will need to fund itself.

I think we can do it. A couple of decent signings, Andreu and Jones to come back and keeping hold of the better ones, I really can't see what's stopping us.

I'd look at a new left back, new right back, 2 wingers for a change of style in play if needed, Eisa from Cheltenham and I thought stockley looked a real handful yesterday too.

I guess we’ll also be able to attract ‘better’ loan players.

How many of our key players were loans this year?

Promotion might create real problems for SISU.............. it will need major investment to support it in L1 but even more so in the Championship where the incomes required and the costs are much greater, where is that going to come from? get promoted and fail, ending up relegated could destabilise everything again financially I fear

Promotion can be done on a shoestring but sustaining it is far harder...... just ask Burton.

Im sure some of our players may well be on other clubs radar, and im quite sure lampard who seems set to take over at derby wasnt there for a day out.

Jones and Andreu will make a huge difference. If we can keep McNulty then those two feeding him will be lethal
