Poll: Where will we finish the season?

[Silverhatch]

No ambition? How much more do you want than £200 million, plus 7 new signings this year and maybe more to come. Think in anyone's book there is not a more ambitious club outside the prem. We have the infrastructure sorted, now working on the playing side, which was always the plan. Think you should remember this is the most successful 5 years in our history, and people still moan.

Agree with your sentiments but I think you're getting a bit Sky with your last sentence because we did spend 4 years in the top flight and the ride started by Mike Bamber's millions was ****ing exciting

We've got a good property portfolio,I'll grant you that,what we really need is people with a passion for football.

Still say lower mid table

It is fantastic to see the team top after 2 games, but the sides played won't be competing for the honours, nor will the next two teams. Our first 11 is good, but scratch the service & players like COG, JFC, March are not players you are going to have to rely on if you want to get into the playoffs let alone higher! As it stands at the moment, I put us down at about 9th - which I would have more than settled for at the start of the season.

Funny that, it was JFC and march who played a lot of games under Oscar when we made the play offs.

 

[Triggaaar]

1st. Or maybe 24th. Or somewhere in between.

 

[Triggaaar]

The optimism that is overcoming many after winning 2 league & 1 cup game is amazing.

Yep, naive in the extreme.

Personally I think this really is our season to finally make it to The Premiership

Oh.

 

[Justice]

Its very early days but have I seen a better team play this season in the Championship? Not really. Hull didnt look all that and Derby have employed Hypia mkII.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

We are SOLID which an excellent starting point.

I've gone for an ambitious 4th. Will we hit teams for 3's 4's and 5? Not in my opinion. But I can see us TRUNDLING along with the assurance that we won't be conceeding the 2's and 3's which ultimately rob you of results.

 

[OzMike]

Heart 1st
Head 10th

 

[Triggaaar]

Same team how exactly?

Same name?

You could be right, it's often a tight division and difficult to call, but we're a lot better than our first year in the Championship where we flirted with the playoffs and finished 10th. We're not as good as our side that finished 4th, but we could be better than the side that Oscar got to 6th.

We should be close to the playoffs.

I don't wish to appear a starry eyed optimist so I will go with second. I have a feeling in my water that when Bobby Z is fit that he and Lua Lua will form a scoring partnership the like of which has yet to be witnessed at the Amex.

...Or I could be horribly wrong.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Fifth.

People will be very optimistic I'd imagine but a word of caution, if we pick up one injury we are relying on players like COG. Squad doesn't have enough depth for us to maintain position in top 6 at the moment.

Well - not that I personally think O'Grady is a bad OPTION in reserve - but to pretend that ONE injury will leave us scraping the barrel is ridiculous. The following players were outside of our starting XI on Saturday: Zamora, Crofts, Holla, Dunk, Calderon, Rosenior, Ince, Forster-Caskey, Maenpaa, Harper and Murphy. And there are MORE to arrive, in attacking areas.

 

[carteater]

11th, though I do think we will flirt with the play offs during the season.

 

[kevo]

Where have all those people gone who said we were going to get relegated?! I said 9th before the season started and that looks reasonable. Have now changed it to 7th though that may be pushing it...Whatever, upper mid-table with a sniff of the play-offs.

Boro looked class at the weekend although it was only against Bolton. Fabbrini looks like a better version of Tex, Bolton could not handle him.

 

[Triggaaar]

Where will we finish the season?

Away to Middlesbrough.



They'll be champions by then though, so hopefully we'll have an easier time of it.

 

[TomandJerry]

Top half so maybe 9th being close to a play off spot

 

[Worthing exile]

2nd for me

 

[piersa]

who's the palace fan then?
