[Albion] Expectations 23/24

[Heart and Soul]

League: top 10. Anywhere in top 10 is ok. Arguably slightly below it as well depending on how other competitions go. I think we should prioritise Europe over the league this year.

Europa League: we should be top 8 but you never know, could get a difficult draw. But on average we are better than everyone and this is our best chance to win a cup because Manchester City won't be around.

FA Cup/League Cup: Would be very nice to stick around in them for as long as possible obv, but honestly I find it boring because either you'll eventually play City and it just sucks. Yes we've won and drawn against them but in both cases they didn't give a f***. When they do they are nearly impossible.

Imho this season is the best opportunity to win a trophy (Europa League). Would also mean playing in the CL against all the crazy, crazy big European teams. Imagine that.

Prem 8th to 12th.
Europa, get out of group, but no further.
FA Cup lose in 5th round.
League Cup, play the U21s and lose first match.

 

[jackalbion]

League Top 10.

Europa League Top 3 of group.

FA Cup 5th Round but never have any expectations for it. Life’s a rollercoaster, ride it.

League Cup, a new ground would be nice.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Premier League : Top 10, but I think we'll do better.
Europa League : Out after Group Stages
FA Cup : Quarter Finals
League Cup : Whatever. Give the kids a run out and see what happens.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Modest progression please. Quadruple. What?

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Premier Lge........solid, out of trouble.......13th to 8th
Europa Lge.........not a scooby doo
FAC.........................out in 3rd round.....bum draw.....Villa away.
Lge Cup................out in 4th round.....bum draw.....Villa away.

 

[Stat Brother]

Relegation.

Important not to do a West Ham and be looking over our shoulder far too deep into the season, which would probably mess up any push for trophies. Who really knows how this whole Europa League business is going to go?

Europa League! I still have to pinch myself.

 

[sparkie]

Win some, Lose some.

 

[Icy Gull]

High, very high. Best ever season because we will have some silverware at the end of it…Over the last three seasons I have gone from glass half empty to f*** me you’ve over filled it

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Important not to do a West Ham

True.

I’d be very disappointed if 2023/24 saw us taken over by a couple of perverts whilst the supporter base become complete wankers in Peaky Blinders caps.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Seriously maintain top 10 and go deep in a cup.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Are these peoples expectations or hopes?

If they are expectations then they're quite lofty.

My hope is for more quality football and goals. I'd love a cup run, ideally in Europe and a trophy would be outstanding.

 

[Simster]

Mid-table (8th - 14th)

Conkers deep in at least one cup, hopefully the Europa League, maybe also the FAC.

Play the U21s (and Robert Sanchez) in the League Cup. Lose to Morecambe on penalties.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Think we’ll be a cup team

Prem - 9th
Europa League - Quarter finals
FA Cup - Semi-final
League Cup - Quarters

If they are expectations then they're quite lofty.

My hope is for more quality football and goals. I'd love a cup run, ideally in Europe and a trophy would be outstanding.

Don't you simply hope that we win absolutely everything?

 

[Yes Chef]

- Mid table in the league
- Quarters in the FA Cup and Europa
- League Cup WINNERS

Roberto was SO CROSS after Charlton last season

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Are these peoples expectations or hopes?

I expect, I never hope!

 

[dazzer6666]

Playing similar football to last season will do me……..that in itself will give us a sniff of a trophy and a decent league position.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I expect, I never hope!

I guess that's why you prefer Germany to the land of hope and (not much) glory!

Don't you simply hope that we win absolutely everything?

I don't but maybe I should. Winning everything would be in the realms of ultimate fantasy. I hadn't thought of actually hoping for it.
