so........ where will we finish this season now?

[trueblue]

I'd still be happy with top ten but the play-offs would be great. Superb as we're looking, Leicester and West Ham have silly money. We have no right at all to even be pushing for automatic promotion. I'd never rule it it out with Gus in charge though - what a manager

 

[Birdie Boy]

See how West Ham and Leicester get on over the next few weeks, both have made some quality signings and it's still hard to look past them.

Play-offs is a definite possibility, I'd still be happy with top 10, it's very easy to get carried away over one player

One player....

Are you forgetting Hoskins, Buckley, Harley, Lua Lua?

I said top 6 would be great before start, now I am hoping we will push for top two and play-offs at worst.

And as for tough games coming up, yes they are, but was Portsmouth away, Cardiff away, Blackpool (Prem last year), Sunderland not tough? Every game is tough but we are getting through them ok. Let's hope there are not too many injuries, especially in the defence.

If we win 26 out of 41 we will go up....Defence is tight and offence is frightening, f*** the draws go for it every game. That means we could suffer 15 defeats and I cant see us loesing 15 games. 10 maybe but not 15, so I will say 1st or 2nd.

Top

 

[Woodchip]

I originally said 10th-12th. I'll now increase that to top 5. Depending on Wet Sham and Lychee-cester get on through September with buying their way out the league I may increase that.

Play offs

 

[Albumen]

I want to say top two but I fear doing so. That said, March 2011 showed how we can keep going, and then some. Gus believes we can do it and sold it to Vicente and CMS so I'm going to too.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

After that signing I would expertly predict a finish one above top of the Championship.

Although I have confidence in both the squad and Gus, I am still loath to say top three. It is still going to be a long tough season, I think it's easy to get carried away after the start we have made. Lets see how we respond to our first defeat or two and take it from there. I said before a ball was kicked, I'd be happy with mid table and I haven't changed my mind. I hope I am wrong and we can shock everyone and do a Norwich though, that would be mint.

 

[sir albion]

Reaching the playoffs would cap a great season,but would still be very happy with 10th

 

[seagullmouse]

Play offs and Carling Cup winners (one of these is a joke, you decide which)

 

[tooting2]

didnt have a clue were we would finish before all the great signings and still havent now but anywhere from 10th upwards comeing up to easter will maybe give us a shot at getting into play offs which would be remarkable in first season back in championship

 

[Two Professors]

Top and FA Cup Winners!

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Imagine a play-off final between Brighton and Southampton, that would be the nuts!

 

[Tux the albion Penguin]

I reckon within the top 5 If I'm honest.
