While pre-season friendlies are all about getting fit and ready for the season proper is anybody else concerned about the goal ratio we are getting? We are playing teams at a lower level and the goals are hardly going in. This was the problem last season, great football being played but its goals that count. We're not a bottom three side so relegation is not an issue I would hope, but goals puts points on the board and the talk is of being top 8 this season, so lets hope the football brings the rewards of goals, that's my concern at the moment.

Yes he has, but that is not what I asked, how many games have we played against lower level and scored more than one goal? Early days of course but possibly a concern.

Talk of top 8? Don't be silly. The board have no money and fanny around making fake spitfire badges calling it a new dawn. The pre-season is under whelming because the squad being formed has no football league pedigree. Survival at national league level is all I hope for and that there is still a club in 2021. Sadly the Macclesfield story will not be the last.

I'm sure somewhere Ben said he thought we'd be in with a shout of the play offs this season, which is top 7, so its reasonable then to feel top 8 is the aim is it not? I'm a little concerned about goals, but as Callum points out, home in 3 games out of the first 4, get a good start, confidence builds, and as he says, who knows where it will lead. Notts County will be the favourites I imagine, along with Barnet, other than that it could be wide open. We play good football, if we start hitting the onion bag regularly I for one will start to believe we can be a top 8 team.

yeah agreed with that. top 8 is certainly doable. lets not forget season before last we were within a kick of wembley. last season was a bit of a strange one, but safe midtable at the end of the day. see no reason we can't be challenging this season
