[St Charles Owl]

We will get stronger as the season progresses so I won't be bothered if we are still 8th at Christmas.

I think thats a good point, we have almost an entirely new team that undoubtedly has better players in it that we have had for a long time, but it will take time for everything to click.  I think we have certainly seem periods of play that suggest if we can do that consistently we will definitely win more than not, but its going to be about doing that week in, week out!!  If at Xmas we are just outside the playoffs but still in touching distance, then I would expect DC to get the check book out and strengthen the team in the January window to try to push on up the table.
