Mark Bunn admits pre-season has been tough, but now he is just looking forward to building on the success he had last season.

"We have had quite a tough pre-season but we are just looking forward to the Swindon game on Saturday now and hopefully we can start the season with a win," he said.

"I was very pleased with my first season, people say that your second season is your hardest but hopefully I can start off with a good performance on Saturday and then just go from there.

"As a goalkeeper you want to be consistent and I will be just taking each game as it comes.

"Chris Dunn had a great game against Wolves in pre-season, he is a really good keeper and I know he is going to really keep me on my toes this season.

"We have got a good young team, the team spirit is excellent and I see no reason why we can't aim for a place in the play offs this season.

"It is going to be a tough season but I think we have got a good squad and I think we will do well.

"On a personal level I perhaps need to work on my communication a little bit but the main thing is that I keep that consistency.

"The new players have looked good and I think Stuart Gray has made some good signings.

"I've got another two years to run on my contract and I am happy to stay here.

"This summer has been tough for me personally but I have just got to get on with things now. I'm not taking things for granted now and I am just really looking forward to this season."
