''Our ambition from day one will be to win another promotion," said the ex-QPR assistant.
''It's not going to be easy - it will be tougher than last year - but that's what we're working towards.
''There's never anything to fear in football and there's no reason why we can't be competitive.
''No-one was saying we were going to go up automatically and win the FAW Cup last season.
''The bookies reckoned we were going to finish in mid-table while Northampton, Chester and Oxford were favourites to go up.
"That just shows how wide open it was in League Two and I think League One is the same. It's all in the melting pot.'
''Just like in League Two, there are always surprise elements in League One and that gives us a chance.
''Look at the sides who went up last year.
''Hull didn't add many players but won promotion again, Huddersfield and Doncaster finished in mid-table and Torquay went down.
''Can we do a Hull and go up again? I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but that's the target we'll set.''
