I don't know how anyone can predict any final places this season. There are simply too many variables that go beyond normal footballing standards. We've seen ourselves a stop-start approach which kills any momentum, and then there are blocks of several games in a few weeks. Players and staff will get ill or have to isolate. Squads and utility players will become more important than a couple of star players, teams will play youth players more or experienced players out of position.
There's little to take from these first 4/5 games. Some will see this as our annual early season blip before going on a charge up the table. Others will worry that league 2 is beckoning. But anything can happen, and whilst I hate seeing us lose, I simply want to see us come through this with the club and all associated with it safe and well.
