    Dave, I feel more optimistic at the beginning of a season than I have for years. It's at the very least, a joy to feel full of genuine hope for the year ahead. Like Adams, like the signings, like how he's been making us press like **** in every friendly so far. Reasons To Be Cheerful indeed

    Looks like a mixed bag on the L1 betting slips. I actually went Wigan.12/1.

    Trueman and Sellers wanted rid of Rowe. Much to Sparks bemusement. Rowe was sold, not released. Adams nothing to do with that one.

    He wasnt a bad egg, just very unprofessional.

    Can not remember a season starting with so much positivity on here, almost 80% thinking we are going up.

    A player told a mate of mine he dressed like a scruff and turned up to training late. Also lazy.

    There's a reason a player with that goal scoring record hadn't been touchéd with a bargepole during his non league days until bat shit crazy Oldham came for him. We were paying him a good whack as well. You could tell straight away something wasn't right and the only thing wrong about getting rid of him was we didn't do it quicker.

    I've not been as enthusiast about a new season since 1984

    That's because he always had a leaky tap to fix or sink to unblock before training.

    Just a little concerned about the full back areas plenty of experience there but in the system we play it’s one of the areas that really come under pressure and whether or not we are good enough there is still to seen

    From the 3 friendlies I've seen, Threlkeld looks steady enough but I'm not convinced on Ridehalgh. Looks very slow and seems sloppy in possession. Early days though.
