Expectations for next season...

[Tommy2holes]

With a distinct lack of any transfers albiet early days and warning signs that we could be in for a very long summer what are your expectations for the season ahead?

 

[palexander]

Far too early to say. Never known a preseason with so much up in the air... Will the club even make it to the first fixture? Think there are more twists to come yet.

We also don't know for sure if our 'best' (ahem) players will be here either or who will replace them.

At the moment, I see a season if great struggle on and off the pitch and if we retain league status it will be a plus.

I reckon the Stadium will be being built and a play off spot! :)

 

[Tommy2holes]

I do hope so jack, but i do not share your optimism.

AFC Southend!!!!

I think it's early days tbh, would be saying push for the play-offs, but not entirely sure that we will have a team that can push for the play-offs at the moment. Also, is Ron going to deliver his promise of work starting on the stadium this Summer?
So for me, I voted Mid-Table, but I want to be proved wrong, and push for the play-offs, but personally, I feel that mid-table is a realistic aim for us considering our current position.

It's all very worrying that we are still not paying staff --- especially as the income in the summer ceases apart from any late-paying season tickets. That will entice new players-not !

I can't see anything but gloom without RM getting a massive pile of dosh just to keep the club going.

I'd hope and expect that Ron keeps his word and the work on the stadium begins. However, I still think we're going to struggle. Early days in terms of the assessment of the team and a far more fairer, accurate and reasonable judgement can only be made after the summer.

at least he still belives that as a club we can still put it together than being a miserable moaning minny with another one of your pointless post

You just hate the truth, get real!

 

[mattytheshrimper]

it all depends on signings. i fully expect that once we get one in that more will follow. i just hope we do it sooner rather than late. get an experienced assistant manager in and let everyone gel and get a good injury free pre-season.

but thats it an ideal world. i think its realistically its going to be a case of getting what players are left. and because of the non payment issues it will put a lot of players off. my biggest fear is not getting an assistant manager in and getting signings literally in the week before the start of the season. i really hope it doesn't happen but i think its a possibility. unfortunately our name out there with agents and players i think is not a good one.

Do you think we will make the start of the season ? I am not so sure.

you can spout all the **** you like and your pointless post thats why we have a message board - get a bloody life

but i belive that the tide will turn for this club and its supporters and the stadium will start in the summer, i did not think i would be around after my
short spell in hospital last year with a mild heart attack to watch the blues
again - but i have another chance and i belive we will survive

we will make the start of the season this club cant be allowed to die

 

[Jack The Flag]

I am quite optimistic :) :)

fair play though mate.

 

[The Late One]

I am quite optimistic :) :)

You have either been drinking, smoking something that's not legal or been out in the sun too long

 

[turkishm]

I would like to be optimitic, but really cant see anything to be optimistic about. Other than a few most of our players are not very good, we dont seem to have any money to get players in that are, we cant seem to even pay the players we have on time. Hopfully things will improve, but i really dont see how. bottom six.

My expectations for next season can be summed up in one word.
