Where will we finish this season?

Papa Lazarou · Jul 21, 2017

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] s panic level poll has received a number of votes from people claiming to be calm, but seemingly accepting relegation this coming season. So, I think this is an interesting companion poll to that one.

Where do you expect us to finish this coming season?

Clearly, we don't know how the remaining weeks of the transfer window will go, and whether we'll get new players in before the City game, but let's see how we all feel...

Cementing 20th currently.

But that can change with some singing.

I know I messed the poll up - I should have gone for 5 options with a top 10 finish in there for the optimists. Sorry.

Impossible to say until the window closes but as things stand we'll be back in the Championship next season

I did make it clear in the intro that this is a point in time poll... based on what we know think now.

Everyone below 7th is in a relegation battle until 3 games to go. I reckon we'll be alright this year. I'm more worried about '2nd season syndrome'.

In that case we are going down, the club have repeatedly told us how this buying of players is a problem.

How can anyone can be confident that the squad we have at the moment is strong enough? I don't have the same blind faith that we will get the quality of strikers required to stay up. I am 100% convinced that without significant strengthening of the forward line we are doomed.

As thing stand, certain relegation.

Personally don't care though, I'll still watch/listen to every game and enjoy it.

Relegated unless we get another striker.

I'm pretty comfortable most of last seasons 1st team will step up to the plate and cover is decent except upfront where we would be totally stuffed if anything happened to Murray.

El Presidente · Jul 21, 2017

I think many are being very harsh on the existing squad. Whilst I believe that it needs strengthening, some players will find the less physical nature of the PL to their liking, and the more technically gifted may flourish.

The pace of the game against the big 6 will be frightening, and realistically if we get more than 5-6 points from those games it will be a miracle, but we do have a good team ethic, and I'm not frightened by the likes of Watford, Swansea, West Brom, Burnley, Stoke, Palace, Newcastle, Huddersfield, Leicester and of course Plucky Little Bournemouth.

I'm going for relegation being avoided with 3 games to go (it had better be the case given our run in), and a final position of 16th.

17th.

You have summed up my feelings there El P.

To be honest if we are frightened of the teams you mention, there would be no point playing in this league.

I was 'Cool as cucumber' in Bozza's thread and I'm 'safe by the end' in this one.

A classic combo.

durrington gull · Jul 21, 2017

If we don't add 2 new strikers then we're going down i'm afraid - simply not going to score the goals we require

Taybha · Jul 21, 2017

Honestly not a clue , i will not be betting on any of our games next season other than a pre season bet of Dunk being top scorer seeing as he will be taking all the straight free kicks from 30 yards or more .

10th according to bets placed so far , mind you it's The Express :lolol:

As it stands, goal scoring will be a problem.
Can see a relegation struggle from the off.
