What are people basing their renewed optimism with regards challenging for the title? An FA Cup win? Since last season very little has changed and we weren't good enough then, so why we suddenly become title chasers now when we've invested very little in the squad is a mystery to me, even more so when other clubs have invested more on trying to improve.

I think we'll find the season will pan out much like previous seasons, simply because we're only too happy to settle with what we have on the basis that they won a few games last season and had a decent run in some meaningless pre-season friendlies.

Unless we bring in a striker and perhaps a DM I think we'll fall short again, I've heard a lot about a new mentality, is this the mentality that has seen us capitulate in our first game of the season when expectations we're so high, if so it doesn't bode well.
