Who would you regard as your key player?

We have numerous key players but the stand out one has to be Steve Bushell who is easily the best midfielder playing in the Conference. Adam Quinn is also the best centre half on current form.

What is your weak link?
We tend to struggle against big physical teams who prevent our passing game. Anyone who wants to play football will be stuffed but if it turns into a battle on a poor pitch this could unearth our weak link.

How do you rate your manager?
Chris Wilder has assembled a great squad on a shoe string. He made plenty of mistakes last season but has learned from them and is doing a splendid job. We hope he signs a new contract but there is speculation linking him with League Clubs.

What were your pre-season expectations?
Mid Table would represent an achievement after the poor second half of last year. However we have surpassed all those expectations and if current form can be maintained a play off spot is attainable.

What do you think of Accrington Stanley?
I view you as a progressive club who have done well. I hope your fans hate Burnley FC as much as I do.

Who is going up and down from the Conference this season?
Barnet will be promoted as Champions and Carlisle through the play offs. Cambridge and Kidderminster to be relegated but Rochdale would be better.

Finally what will the scores be?
A 1 v 1 draw at Accrington and a 2 v 0 home win at The Shay.
