BHA - Where Will We Finish Season 2012/2013 Poll (First of Ten Polls)

[Pintos]

You forgot a few things:

-10 lack of a quality Championship striker
-20 lack of a tough tackling box to box midfielder

For me that makes it 66 points and mid-table obscurity.



But I might go along with 1st if we pull our finger out and fill the two gaps in the team.

Those were problems we had last season when we finished on 66 (unless Navarro was worth 20 points a season!) So if we fix those positions I guess we'll finish on 126 points. Can't beat a bit of playground logic.

Right here, right now.....12th. I'll be more than happy with that at come May.
Of course, a higher position would be fantastic, but unless we get someone to help CMS / or instead of CMS, it's a tough challenge this season

 

[Perkino]

1st

 

[Benson]

I've gone for a strong third.

I am surprised the rival fan contingency on here haven't tried to hijack this poll yet.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Hopefully top half ..defence looks solid..we still need (as has been said) strengthening ..injuries and suspensions play such a part

Bizarre you think we'll do worse after massively improving our defence and thus, the whole side.

 

[MattBackHome]

A glorious but unfruitful push for the playoffs - leaving us a heady 7th come May.

I know. I think i'm being over cautious. I don't want to come to expect 1st, 2nd or a p/off spot (even though that's what I'd love obviously). I'm trying to stay grounded. If I prepare myself for a bog standard top half of the table finish, then anything better is a result!

 

[brakespear]

9th.

 

[DBL]

No Hoskins, no improvements up front & no prospect of bringing in any meaningful firepower = it's going to be a long season.
Going for 15th.

Interesting to see that after 97 votes cast, I am predicting the worst!!!

 

[Silk]

I went for 5th but if we sign no more players, make it 8th.

 

[sparkie]

10th unless we make those 2 signings of sufficient quality

 

[Zebedee]

10th unless we make those 2 signings of sufficient quality

This looks increasingly unlikely before the start of the season. Two strikers and one midfielder now needed with Hoskins' injury. Just can't see it somehow.

 

[Bra]

Can I amend for 10th to 12th. I had high hopes that hoskins would suit our system better than CMS and with his injury think we will struggle in forward areas. This 12th assumes the squad goes into the season as it is now, which I hope is incorrect.

 

[supaseagull]

We will be next seasons reading...

Average attack for the league, solid defence based upon experience.

The best creative wingers in the league and a good centre midfield trio.

My biggest prediction is that CMS will score 23 goals and Harley will be the surprise package.

Oh and second and a comfortable one at that after speaking to a couple of Cardiff lads last nite at the Mill Stad who were saying we have the best starting xi in the league!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

5th, a comfortable 5th.

Poor start followed by prolonged unbeaten run until Christmas sees us up to 3rd. Poor post Christmas run sees us drop to 7th by Easter, good final few games drops us into an easy 5th.

 

[Aadam]

6th with a dramatic final home game to make it

 

[Steve Foster]

123 votes cast & an average end of season finish of 6th.

About right?

Or, is there belief we can finish higher after beating the European Champions yesterday?

 

[Muzzy]

4th at worst... I think this could well be our year. Nothing to with yesterdays result but a lot to do with the performance against a very strong Chelski side!

The balance of the side is almost there and baring suspensions and injuries we should do very, very well this season IMO. Many other sides in our division would love to be in our position as a club right now.

I have faith in the lads.
