Frank Sinclair to get sent off, even if he doesn't get off the bench!

I think the team is crying out for an experienced player that has played in the league to guide the lads on the pitch thro games.
Unfortunately an experienced player tends to come at a considerable wages cost, plus it's not necessarily the answer unless they fit into the team in terms of attitude, personality etc. Gary Mills was an experienced player at this level. 
As we saw last season, a talented group of young players all playing for each other can go a long way. 
At the moment, some of our key players aren't at their best (Pidge, Jonah), and others aren't fit (Zak, Kaine, plus I don't think Dayle is 100% either) which isn't helping.  As with previous seasons, it will probably take a couple of months for the team to settle down, no doubt there will be a few changes, but nothing like the wholesale changes that were needed to the midfield this time last year!

But remember we lost at Staley the year we won the Conference so not necessarily a bad omen!

Think we have a great chance if we make play offs.

Even if we miss out on going, if we can keep the bulk of this squad and get the season going from the start instead of at Christmas we'll have a great chance of being right up there!

I think the shellacking at Fylde shows the top two are a class apart when they're on their game, as they will in the play-offs, so we'd have to have a near-on flawless play-off campaign to stand a chance. But make no mistake, assuming our lot stay fit, we DO stand a chance. It's the hope that kills, eh?

I agree that next year could be 'the one' for this group, assuming we keep the core together. And so, in all honesty, I see a potential play-off appearance this season as a free hit: no-one demanded it, so we should go into them with no pressure - unlike Fylde, who had much higher expectations.

Remind me I said this when Fylde score on 90+5 to go up, and I'm found sobbing in the gutter.
As Alan Partridge might say, let me paint a scenario:
Title race goes to the wire so both Barrow and Fylde have to out out full strength teams on the final day, whereas Boston can rest a handful of key players.  Whoever doesn't go up automatically has to not only pick themselves up for the playoffs but also travel all the way across the country for a midweek game at Boston, where they have already lost this season, returning home in the early hours of Thursday morning.  On the Saturday Boston make the trip to Fylde/Barrow with most of our players having had much less travelling during the week.  Home advantage in the second leg doesn't seem so much of an advantage then?  Maybe we should aim for 5th and not worry about 3rd or 4th?
