The Ground-Breaking Executive Coach is ready for the season. A season where we all hope to build upon our progress.
Joey Barton has built a winning mentality around our club. Our style of play is energetic, exciting and full of expectation.
Where do you think we will end up at end of this season?
You can vote now. I will leave the poll open until kick off against FGR. Of course, new signings might affect your thoughts and so you will be free to change your mind prior to FGR match.
Ground-Breaking Goal or Automatics
With our mentality, anything is possible. Can we dream? Is our team good enough to mix it with the big boys?
Stretching Goal - Play offs or Promotion through the play-offs.
Our manager sets high standards and has said we wants to create a team with a winning mentality. Surely this will be in every players minds. This team could achieve play offs. Promotion through play offs could happen.
Realistic Goal - Just outside Play offs but not promoted
First season back in Division One with many exciting moments but ultimately not quite good enough to get into play offs. A period of stability might be acceptable for some. Team set up nicely for promotion push in season 2023-24.
Security Goal - Finishing outside top ten
This could happen. Would it be disappointing? For some this would be steady progress. We have a winning mentality now so will have high standards in our dressing room. I feel expectation is high and finishing outside top ten would be disappointing for many.
Where do you think we will end up at end of this season?
For me, I’m hopeful that we will always be around the play offs and then anything can happen as we all know.

Think it's too early for this as we've still got several players to come in.
Once we've finished in the transfer window we may have a better idea.

Can’t help but be optimistic so I’m hoping for playoffs but if we could be that gatekeeper type wild card team that would be sensational!

Thinks its too early for this as we've still got several players to come in. Once we've finished in the transfer window we may have a better idea. This. If we weren’t to get any more players in I think we’d be looking at a relegation battle as the squad is threadbare in places. Get in 3-4 more quality signings and we could be punching towards the top. |

Welcome back old bus. Rarely ever needed but occasionally needs to be wheeled out of Rich's garage for a spin.
Maybe next year? Doubt it but Barton is full of surprises. Good and bad.

I’ve gone outside top 10 simply based on our current squad.
Bring back Taylor and I’m edging top 10
Bring in another midfielder or 2 (McCormick will do me) and I’m even more hopeful.
Bring in another E Anderson type wildcard and you never know….
One thing is for sure, it won’t be boring!!
I’m fully behind Barton to get the calls right, if he can get through the campaign without any private life scenarios and keep his temper with Refs then we can all say he is on the right path.
For me the best news would be a stadium announcement, focus minds and keep progressing, I really do feel it’s the thing that will have us ready for a championship push over the next 2-3 seasons.

I would say that just outside the play-offs is a stretching goal at the moment.

Fortunately, we don't have to play the mighty Bath City in the league Fortunately, the mighty Melksham Town were not in League Two last year, as we could only scrape a 1-1 draw with them pre-season. |

After JB saying we’ll need 6/7 more I’ll reserve judgement until we start. Only three new players so far but it’s s good sign that whereas several teams have signed a lot we’ve really concentrated on players who will likely be in the team and not just squad players. Quality not quantity.
UTG!

Seventy Eight gasheads have voted. This poll closes just before the match on Saturday.
I’m pretty energised that just over one in every four gasheads think we will be promoted either through automatics, champions or get to the play offs. I’m in that camp.
More signings to come so there is every reason to be hopeful that we can build on our progress.
Still time to vote before Saturday.

Security would be fine and realistic this season. If we finish in the top 10 that would be a real achievement, but if anyone can get us there it is Barton.

I’ve got my printer on standby for the ‘Champions 22/23’ t shirts, they’ll hopefully be ready by Christmas.

Joe has his plans. In the BBC Bristol interview he lowered expectations and inspired at the same time. So many have so much belief now.
We might well surprise a few.
Only a few hours left to vote on this. Poll closes just before FGR game.
