Last season they fulfilled the traditional "surprise everyone in their first season" that we usually see from at least one promoted team.

 

What can we expect from them this time around?

Second season sydrome is a dreadful old cliche, but they will suffer from it. Sidwell's a big loss and the're still struggling to attract real quality new players to the club. Shorey and Lita have both turned down new contracts, although they've both got two years left and club won't be thinking of selling this summer.

 

Thy're still a good side and there are more than enough worse ones knocking about to make the lower half of mid table the likeliest place they'll finish this year.

coppell's savvy enough to keep them up. but yeah, sidwell's a big out for them. doyle and lita will score enough.

Having said all that, they're now being linked with Jan Koller. Which would represent something of a coup.
