Bland, more of the same please… Depends on the new signings! We have beaten two of the playoff teams by 4 goals away this season though so there is potential.  |

Every season I tell myself it can’t get any worse and to be fair it doesn’t - it just stays at a sub mediocre, mind numbing, one or two places above relegation level.
Can’t wait to do it all again !

I’d say more open minded than excited. It’s a clean slate and I don’t entirely subscribe to the doom mongering.

He needs to pull a few rabbits out of the hat though and I sincerely hope he does because the thought of having to tear it all up and starting again around November is a truly frightening prospect. |

I expect alot of ins and outs whoever is manager. So for that reason I think it will be quite exciting to see alot of new faces. Can't be any worse.

He could spend all of our transfer kitty in duds, not get them playing well then get the push and leave us in the same situation without any money - then we are well and truly screwed and will rely on Warnock to save us. This summer will govern what happens for the next 3 or 4 seasons - it’s that important to get it right. |

I think excitement was rising after that great run in March. Unfortunately that little ray of hope has been eliminated with 2 points from last 7 games which included 4 successive home defeats.

I wouldn’t say excited, but surely you have to have abit of optimism. The manager has a lot to prove, but he’s got a really good opportunity to clear the decks and get a proper squad built instead of this bunch of wasters.
I don’t find Neil all that likeable & tactically he hasn’t impressed, but I believe that 75% of this squad is lower championship level & that’s where we’ve finished.
His CV shows he’s a solid championship manager & with backing you’d expect us to be in the hunt for promotion next season. It’s a massive summer ahead.

Excited and scared in equal measure.
Next season could be anything then I remember how wank the current squad is and think it would be some feat to make it worse.
I think I'll take a sabbatical from this place because the first few signings are not going to be pretty and it's going to get very toxic.
Hopefully the more eye catching signings will come in late June and July.

I was when AN replaced MON.
Then I went downhill at Christmas time.
Got excited with the run in March and now back to being nervous and worried about next season. We have an appalling record in recent times with managers and players.
The re build is beyond what you can do in one season, so like the MON era I find myself writing a season off before it’s even bloody begun 😔

Frightens me that we need so many new faces before we kick a ball next season. Trend these days for market at our level to only really move at the end of the window - a month into the season! Got all the hallmarks of playing catchup with a team getting to know each other and match fit.

On the way back from the game today I wasn’t.
Now I’ve sat down for 10 mins and had a beer I’m over it, it’s what being a football fan is all about, clean slate and fresh excitement going into a new season……

Hard to be excited when all I expect is more off the same, a mediocre manager putting together a team in his image rather than the club actually having a plan, any sort of plan. Throwing money at a rebuild and letting the manager have all the control is madness and has a good chance of ending badly and then we’re back to square one.
So excited? Not one bit, worried, absolutely.
