Video broadcast - very short by Paul Warne

Oldham first home match. Some good competitive fixtures with Crawley and Walsall, hopefully will bring in the fans and give us a good start to the season. Three home games over Christmas. Boxing Day to Swindon. If get three wins in a row, pick up 10 pts, on the way to promotion, if we pick up the momentum.

Final five matches of the season, hopefully by then getting petites. With some strong teams like Oldham, Tranmere could be strong teams to finish them off and get demoted. Hopefully not.
