A more than respectable 12th. I have faith in our recruitment and medical teams to pick the right players, and keep them fit. Goes without saying CH and his team know what they are doing too.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Is it greedy to ask for 17th, and a cup??!

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
15th and happy to be so. We have made some potentially cracking signings, need to see how they bed in and how CH responds tactically to our second season at this level. Having been dismissed as relegation fodder, what was achieved last year will have made teams take note. This season will be harder, I think but fully expect us to survive without undue alarm.

Hoping for at least 12th.
Difference between last season's signings and this are that we signed form players last season.
Balogun, Biss, Bernardo and Andone all struggled last season they all have big potential but they are out of form. The 2 goalies are largely irrelevant.
Propper, izquerdo and Ryan were all having great seasons the year before we go them.

What about Gross and suttner ? Wasn't Ryan a back up keeper ?
Gross was also a top performer the season before ....
Apart from alireza we are taking much more punts this season, more in the locadia , greyhound mould.

No idea, so I'm not going in for predictions. We've had a good summer, and have strengthened the squad (I have no knowledge of any of the players we've brought in - that statement is based purely on my trust in the recruitment team!) Trouble is, pretty well everybody else has been busy strengthening too!
My ambition for the club begins and ends with staying up again. The icing on the cake would be to do that with a few games still to play so that I didn't have to worry myself silly through the last two or three games!

players we've signed look decent enough but element of risk to all of them. Long way from real proven track records but as pointed out its often only the top half sides that get these.
2nd season notoriously hard and the quality in this league is there to see. On paper everyone will sign decent players.
I'm going for 13th but in and out the bottom 3 a good few times in the season.

I think a safer mid table position this season. Between 8th and 12th.

Silly old bat
Last year I voted 17th and we finised two positions higher than that, so same again please.
Me too. I'll be disappointed if we fall below that, but with a fair wind we could do somewhat better.
This is a good poll

Survival is still the main aim, so would be delighted with 17th.
We've made some good signings, however the 2nd season is very hard.
I'm going for a 16th place finish.

I think the league will be tougher this year, however I am going for 13th and safer earlier.
The only whipping boys I can see are Cardiff and maybe Huddersfield, but Huddersfield have invested well.

21 was bad. How many extra points would we have if it was down to an average of 10?
I don't think West Ham will be as generous to us and Newcastle this coming season.
Worryingly, we only lost 3 times to a single goal*, and won 5 times by a single goal out of 9 wins. (*so if we played better we might still have lost?)
If we got scoring from set popices from 5 to 10 that'll help as well.

Agree on both counts- I just had a sense that the majority of the 21 were in the first half of the season.......so we kind of started to get to grips with it

A very hard fought 13th - although anything above the bottom 3 will be hugely welcome
