Can we make the playoffs next season?

After finishing 14th in this, our fourth season in the Conference national, can we realistically challenge for promotion next season?

Losing in the semi-final last May still leaves a bad taste but with a decent nucleas to the side surely with the right signings we can move on and make an improved bid for the top five next term.

Woolford and McGurk in particular are crucial if we are going to push on come August. Parslow, Purkiss, Robinson, Brodie and Sodje are also under contract so at least there will be a certain degree of continuity.

Farrell has signed for next season as well which means we have three decent forwards, all capable of 15 goal hauls at least. 13 for Faz wasn't a bad return but with a tight budget it may have been better to bring in a couple of free transfers.

Walker has taken the club on after a bad start under Billy McEwan so there's no reason we shouldn't progress further next time out - possibly nicking a top five spot, you never know.
