What a boring world this will be if we all agreed

After last season’s disappointment I believe Dos will be going for the title. If the four recent acquisitions stay injury free and perform well we could do very well. Also a good start will bring in the crowds.

The main priority really should be challenging for the Conf South Title in my opinion as I'd love to see us go up and be in the Conf Premier again. Another good FA Cup/FA Trophy run would be good too for the financial side of things.
As someone else mentioned we were unlucky with injuries to key players during the run-in last season so hopefully we can have a bit more fortune in particular Binns, Spetch and Taylor who missed chunks of the season. Have a feeling Reindorf will hit the ground runnning in pre-season and show us some goalscoring prowess and defensively we look stronger than last year too!

Actually good point about the SSC. I want us to fall at the first hurdle please, we won't need any of that rubbish at the sharp end of the season. Totally agree Andy, play the ressies or get expellled for some technicality before we kick a ball!

Nah the SSC is a great laugh, just hoping for an away tie that's actually played away from home this year! Hopefully we can bring the same style of support we brought to the youth cup final to the SSC...

I suppose that my expectations for the season differ somewhat from my usual hopes and dreams. Firstly I would like to see us win the league, gain victory in the SSC and progress in at least the first round proper of both FA competitions. Unfortunately that is unlikely as recent history shows, we tend to bow out early of at least one of competitions in return for the other.
Therefore I would like to see us have a strong top half of the table finish (and possibly finally win a play off match!) and grab the easiest chance for some silverware in the County Cup. I do know that I'm in a small band of loyal supporters that still want us to go for the SSC but I really do think that glory for the club in any tournament is a positive and another feather in the cap, and besides its only five games spread over five months.

Although I appreciate the point made, unfortunately we are in a world of finanace and there is little reward from the SSC - what is more one should always aim for the highest 'goals'

Bearing in mind the amount of players that were playing with injuries towards the end of last season, if Sutton are to get promoted, I'd like to see a larger squad, finances permitting.
