Greatest hope for the season - Sneaking into the playoffs

Biggest fear - Becoming victims of the credit crunch, with the possible nightmare scenarios of the plans for the new ground being shelved and going into adminstration when we don't pay our tax bill in October.

Most important player - Steve Mildenhall, since he's going to need to pull a brand new defensive unit together quickly.
