I've just read a nice preview of the coming L2 season in the Graun. They've put us among the automatic promotion contenders. Not too many surprises, but nice to see anyway.

I enjoyed the article; the cartoon made me laugh. I think there are a lot of good sides in this league, and it will be determined by who picks up those crucial wins. For us, I think it will be the physical and top teams we need to play our best against. I am not so worried about the average/poor teams.

very good preview, not biased or favouring just one team. very balanced and fair, plus it highlights a lot of what has happened with other clubs and where they are.

I enjoyed reading that, let’s hope they are right and Notts get automatic promotion that’d be awesome.

Wouldn't it just.

It's good to read this, we do have a squad that is strong, but much of our results will go down to ensuring we keep the ahead in games and not slipping up. I think we'll be up there, certainly I hope so.

The Guardian is usually the bearer of bad news, but this is good.

This is an excellent and detailed preview, far superior to most that I have come across to date. I appreciate the fact that there is no apparent bias towards any particular team, and the writer appears to have a natural understanding of the league.
