Optimism and hope for the new season ahead comes ringing through on player interviews but that's all it is IMO. Hope and optimism. There's no obvious substance to it. Love to see Seanni Fire us to the prem but in my view it ain't happening. Let's be honest. BTW I hope that bites me next May.
I am pleased with some signings while others don't seem to get a fair crack of the whip. Strong positive is that players of value are young with their best years ahead so the squad is worth more than we invested in it. TH will accumulate money (he seems to invest in future sell on potential but less so on the here and now) while keeping us on an even keel IMO. If we look dodgy he'll cough out some brass. When close to the top six investment is lacking like last summer. We had to invest in January to invigorate the season. It took us on a hell of a run before the big fizzle. It's something of a repeating pattern. Every year in the championship since 2015 we've been spoken about in the media as play off candidates before crashing somewhat dramatically and last year was no less spectacular. We'll find out this month and into September if the summer business has paid dividends. If we've invested well we all win. That's my hope. Like always I go to Deepdale for the first home game of the season hoping it will be our year.

Last year I was full of optimism before the season started,....until the injuries started.
This year I have been devoid of excitement and been depressed by the 'same old no lessons learnt'.
Mid table mediocrity approaches, if we are lucky.
AN may want to carve his masterpiece here at Deepdale, but he seems to be content to continually use a blunt stick to do the sculpting, and wonders why the stick breaks so often, ... As at Millwall last week.
I'm beginning to realise he ain't no Michaelangelo.
I do, however, hope I am completely wrong and we put Wigan away in style on Saturday before going on an unbeaten winning run till Christmas.
