“I’d like to think we would finish top 10. That’s my personal goal,I’m not sure I should say that out loud because if we’re then 12th I’ll have people throwing tomatoes at me." Warne told the Star.
“I honestly think if we finish top 10, we might finish first, we might finish 10th. The good thing, this year, is I don’t think it’s damage-limitatation when we play games."
“I appreciate there are some really tough games in League One and this year the league is probably the best it’s been in years, but I don’t think there’s so much fear for us. I think we can go a lot more positive into games feeling we can compete and, obviously, win more games.”
As the players returned to pre-season training this week, Warne said he wanted to build them up mentally; “I’m going to test them mentally big time. I’m not saying I’m going to break them - they’re not joining the SAS - but mental toughness is a big part of sport.”
