What position will we finish?

[Brighton Breezy]

Most of the papers seem to think near the bottom - some of the fans seem to think near the top.

Where do YOU think we will finish?

 

[Trigger]

18th.

 

[bhafc4eva]

16th a bit optimistic but you never know. If Wilkins is sacked early on possibly top half.

 

[Rookie]

4th because then i win alot of money

 

[Stinky Kat]

16th too, Forsters goals will give us a slight improvement on last season, but we will have the usual keeper crisis due to a FDM injury and get in some loanee such as Yedell or Flitney and lose 6 on the trot

 

[dougdeep]

Didn't we do this last week?

 

[tip top]

8th for me

 

[pornomagboy]

4th because then i win alot of money

same ere.. got 20/1 ages ago on us going up....

1-2 or the playoffs

 

[Mendoza]

I think we will have a storming start to the season, everyone will get glory eyed, predict us to win the league with a million points

but then the weather will turn bad and the pitches muddy, and we hit a slump in form, everyone will call for wilkins to resign and we will finish with minus 13 points having conceeded 1482796 goals because we sold Wayne Henderson


so i went for 11th

 

[Goodfella]

8th for me

Good shout.

 

[severnside gull]

18th for no reason except I can't think of many teams as fragile as us in terms of squad-depth, experience and confidence

 

[pornomagboy]

to finish above leeds would be a great season

 

[Hampden Park]

13th for me

 

[Monkster]

8th...missing out on playoff spot by 5 points

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Can't see past a relegation battle I'm afraid.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Even the normally optimistic News of The World put us at 19th!

I disagree, I think that the kids will have improved over last season, and Forster looks like the real deal.

Top Half for me, poss even the PO positions.

 

[bhafc4eva]

I just think alot of people have forgot how shit we were last year. We have only 2 new players and lost a good one in Bertin. The league is alot stronger this year and i feel we will struggle.

 

[Pigsy]

14th

 

[Woodchip]

9th. Top ten here we come.

 

[Simster]

I've gone for 12th, but to be honest we could be anywhere between 4th and 24th. That BBC review gave me a lot of heart - only Forest look nailed on to finish in the top 6. Most of last seasons strong sides that are still here have been weakened. The same goes for the newly relegated sides. Oldham, Leeds, Yeovil, Southend & Swansea off the top of my head have all lost key players. Millwall have just done their usual trick of buying an assortment of shit from the lower leagues to give themselves a bloated squad of cast offs.

On the upside, we've got Whing and Forster and we all know they are significant improvements on what we had last year. So all in all, I do expect a significant improvement on last year. But a couple of key injuries and we could be in trouble again.
