Much more confident

I was interested last time we got promoted, but thought it had come way too soon for the young guys.

As with then though, much will depend on how quickly people settle and adapt. Last time out, I'd say only really Todd and Max stepped up.

A lot of the others did alright, but they were the two (and maybe Godfrey) who kicked on.

Emi did okay - but I think it's the last year that he really made good on his potential.

So, it's a similar situation again. Hopefully some of the young and new guys will kick on.

Main difference is that I think everyone (including Farke) have a much better grasp of what is needed.

Also, when I look at our squad there's not a single player in it that I don't think could play a significant role.

Could easily see us getting relegated. If one or two of the new players really click we could do well (there's normally at least one promoted side which does).
