How has pre-season gone for you? Played 4, Won 3, Draw 1, Lost 0 - For 12, Against 2. Adam Johnson, Rhys Williams and new signing Mark Yeates have all impressed. Midfielder/Defender Matthew Bates suffered a recurring injury and is unlikely to play this season. We have a few other injury concerns going into the first game of the season.
Are you pleased with the signings your club has made? Brought in 2 new players, a goalkeeper (Danny Coyne) who looks to be a back up to Brad Jones, and a right winger (Mark Yeates) who has impressed during pre season. Could do with some new faces, upfront looks like an issue and a new keeper would be nice.
What realistically are you aiming for this season? Promotion
Which player has past his sell by date? Our #1 goal keeper Brad Jones. Been stuck behind Mark Schwarzer for 10 years, had his chance last season and blew it.
Have you got the right manager in charge? No, however I will always back what the club decides to do.
What advice would you give him? Play players in their right position, buy a striker and goalkeeper.
Who do you see as your key player? Adam Johnson. Johnson has been understudy to Stewart Downing for a while but will get his chance this season. Has played at Championship level before with Wolves, scoring 5 goals in 12 games.
Who would you most like to beat this season? Has to be
Where will you finish? Tough to call but hopefully top 2.
