Should we assume anything less than a top three finish would be a failure in the eyes of the club.
I know it would in the eyes of the fans.

The way we have played so far this season I would be amazed if we hit such heights , my prediction would be fourth place at best with Newcastle , Barrow and Rochdale above us ,but i still live in hope of a return to the Championship.

Same here pal and i personally think we are better than Rochdale the thing i can't get round my head though is if we do finish 4th and yet again no promotion the same excuses will be trotted out and everybody will still be in a job! In what other workforce can you miss your targets for 6yrs straight and still be employed? It's just a old boy's act now here and unless we have some new ideas and fresh vision we will be saying the same thing in other 6yrs

Minor point of order Liam Finn plays for Dewsbury

Well spotted! I meant Lewis Young but put Liam Finn by mistake.

I think we are the second best side in the division after Newcastle, however I fear we are a team that falls apart when it really matters and other teams put us under sustained pressure.
The Barrow game was a prime example , well up and cruising, then crash bang wallop we are chasing the game and have to pull a rabbit out of the hat on the last play of the game.

Barrow where nothing sparkling , neither are Hunslet , Keighley, Rochdale and Workington yet every year we do our very best to hand them the spoils.
Whitehaven last season is a prime example , big lumps nothing to fancy and they went up as champions.

Newcastle look different gravy , I would be surprised to see them lose two or three games all season where as The Dons always flatter to deceive and games we are expected to win become a 50 50 call.

I still think our front row is ill-equipped when the going gets tough, and we require another Peltier type player to get us on the front foot and let our halves play.
Our first game back after the break could end up being just that …………………. make or break.

Can't see us losing a game for a while...
