So where do YOU think we'll finish?

[Foolg]

With a striker and left winger (Lua Lua) then possibly one more midfielder, assuming Greer signs, then i think 5th.
With the current squad, i think we would finish 8th.

 

[Zebedee]

Why no relegation option in the choices? Don't think we'll go down but I would have been interested to see who all the pessimists were.

Sorry Notters. Missed that.

play off winners greer to score the winner against swindon in final

 

[pasty]

Play-off heartache losing at Wembley

 

[trancing]

if we get Lua Lua on a season loan, maybe add Hendrie for experience and get a good striker we should be looking at top 6

See, I think we've got plenty of playoff potential already and with those additions would be looking at automatic.

 

[Braders]

I say this every year but ...


SECOND

 

[Strike]

6th-10th I think with current players, but anymore additions maybe play offs but possibly Wembley heartache! But will be better than last season!

 

[Lush]

I have absolutely no idea until I've seen us play a few games.

And neither does anyone else

 

[BHAboi]

bottom half, same old brighton

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Sadly I think we'll only just escape relegation. We won't go down, but we'll only be safe with a few games to go.

 

[Billy the Fish]

7th-11th. Not enough goals in this side as it stands. That could be revised depending on future signings

 

[Chesney Christ]

I am absolutely convinced we will win the league this year, have been for some time now and will be backing it at the bookies in a significant way.

I give it 10 weeks from now (max) until you start using the words "wholesale clearouts". Max.

Why?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Whatever happens - can we stay united behind the manager if we do not find ourselves as an early pace setter? The season is a marathon and not a sprint.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Why?

no creativity, no strikers, no goals from Crofts in midfield (sparrow MIGHT get a few?) - sounds like we've just replaced Virgo with a clone.

El-abd and Elphicks form at the end of last season was freakish - it won't last.

I just imagine we'll crumble under the expectation and come November people will be questioning the management team.


We won't go down - Murray, Bennett, Navarro and the full backs are too good for that. But the rest of the squad is very ordinary indeed, and there's no strength in depth.

Still, I suppose the argie might turn out to be good, and Bloom might get his cheque book out now time is running out to bring players in. But I can't see us finding the 25 goal a season striker when we're re-signing Hart and are trialing shit like that Dobson bloke who's scored less career goals than Craig Davies.

 

[Gav1901]

People saying we will win the League can't have a good footballing brain, there are so many stronger teams then us at the moment. Yes we have made a few good signings and maybe with a stroke of luck we'll get to the play offs and win them.

 

[Gav1901]

no creativity, no strikers, no goals from Crofts in midfield (sparrow MIGHT get a few?) - sounds like we've just replaced Virgo with a clone.

Creativity - Bennett and Dicker.

Strikers - Murray and Barnes and Gus is trying to bring one more in.

Goals from midfield - I believe Bennett got 8/9 last season and Crofts got 4/5, i think Sparrow can be a decent replacement for Crofts.

Replacing Virgo with a clone - I think Poyet does know what is doing , he knows Greer really well and he knows to expect a good things from him.
