4 Reasons To Be Cheerful

Town chairman David Sheepshanks says there is four reasons for Town fans to be optimistic heading into the new season.

Sheepshanks: “There are four reasons to take heart over this time last year.

 

“Firstly we will have Gavin Williams and Alan Lee available for the whole campaign.

 

“Secondly, our emerging players will benefit from the extra year. Last July, the likes of Jaime Peters, Shane Supple, Billy Clarke, Danny Haynes, Owen Garvan, Scott Barron and Chris Casement were without first team experience.

 

“Now they are ready to push on.

 

“Thirdly, I confidently expect us to have two new players by the start of the campaign. They could come from the trialists we have with us on this tour.

 

“And there is a chance that a Premiership player might be coming for a season-long loan on top of the other two additions. We have already had talks, but with the Premier League not starting until the third Saturday in August, clubs are not prepared to release any players for a while yet.

 

“And fourthly there is the Jim factor. Along with his coaching staff Jim Magilton has brought a new impetus and a new momentum to the club. Last season we under-achieved. This campaign I expect it to be different.”
