"It's an exciting season for us, probably a little bit different to last season.
"There's some fantastic teams and I really enjoyed the season.
"Difficult; it was a long season but what a successful season for Braintree Town.
"Our aim is to stay in the league; it's going to be difficult for us and there's a lot of very, very good, strong teams in our league.
"But we back ourselves and we're confident in what we can bring to the football club.
