It shows a real step up in quality from step 4 to 3

And if we have a average step 4 attack where does that leave us this season...? Hope we strengthen
Where the club can sustainably be!

Enfield have a good manager with plenty of experience, they will do well.
Going by their signings last year they probably have a decent budget too.

As we are not really out to win the league this season we can build, give players a chance and change it about a bit mid season if needed, as long as we don't flirt to close to the bottom 7.

We may have step 4 attackers, but given a chance at step 3 with us they might make the transition and be decent.
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.
Michael Harriman Out! 💎

Am I right in saying that Tom Lorraine hadn't properly played above step 5 before we signed him? We took a risk keeping him on when we went up and he's more than paid it off. As long as we have players with a similar mentality we'll be absolutely fine.
