Seriously, anyone think we can go up this year ?

Looking at our first choice first team I think we're pretty strong.

******IF****** we get lucky with injuries I think we can win automatic promotion. However, I think we're equally capable of ending up in a relegation battle. A good first 6 games is utterly essential after last season as is Safri staying fit.

Green
Colin Shackell Doherty Drury
Henderson Etuhu Safri Huckerby
(Mckenzie/)Mcveigh (I know worthless will play mckenzie) Earnshaw

is close to as strong a side as you'll get in this division.
I expect much much more from Hucks, Shacks + Leon than last year.
I suspect we'll get Halford too. I think we are due 1 signing this close season and it has to be on the right surely !! Also Colchester lost their manager and several players so I suspect Halford will want out.

What worries me is
1) Worthington
2) Safri is irreplaceable as without him we lack any guile at all. WLY adds some but forces other changes.
3) Whatever people say Flem is good cover at the back but we're seriously lacking numbers there.
4) Crowd reaction if we don't start well. 3 wins out of first 6 is absolute minimum needed.
