#286: Season preview

Jack's joined by Ian and Alfie for the season preview as they run through a summer of change at Rodney Parade: Hayden Mullins arriving as manager just before kick-off, Kyle Cameron taking the captain's armband and a recruitment strategy that's swung from young and inexperienced to getting some genuine experience back into the sideThe lads debate whether the squad's actually better on paper, worry (as ever) about a midfield that's been missing a proper anchor for years, and brace for Saturday's opener against a newly-promoted, battle-hardened Rochdale. Predictions are in and spoiler: nobody's picking a top-half finish! Plus hear about this year's "ones to watch" and a special away-day tribute planned for Salford away in honour of a much-missed member of the podcast crew.Rambling, honest, and cautiously hopeful, as always.Do get yourself subscribed to our YouTube channel for regular match preview videos and on-the-whistle match reports through the season.
