[Albion] Will we do better than (those utter tossers) Boro?

[Bozza]

28 points on the board with...

Home v Southampton
Away at Liverpool

...to come.

Will we do better or worse?

 

[Stat Brother]

That depends on whether the Albion can score more than 26 goals.

Obviously as it stands, not a snowballs chance.

Assuming PW can nail the biggest decision he and his team have to make this Summer, I'd like to think the Albion won't be that shite.

 

[Hammer15]

We may go down next year.

But by god, we won't stink the PL out like Boro did.

I'm not sure even their own fans will be able to recall anything that happened this season in a few years' time.

Can we find 12 wins next season?
Can see Hughton being far more methodical next season and targeting certain games with certain objectives,if we can target 12 wins all will be fine.key to get any transfer business done early and the squad settled.

I think the biggest improvement in this season over last is that the Albion players have seemed to mastered the dark arts to get what they want. Last season I sat and watched teams like Boro, Burnley and Wednesday at times bully our lads especially the younger ones who could seem to pay them too much respect. 12 months later we have the experience to back up this team bonding and can mix it with some of the best. A few experienced heads coming in and I think we could be a surprise package in the top flight.

I had a £10 bet with a United fan today that said we wouldn't get a point in our first 4 games..

11 Sidwells should do it....

 

[Scoffers]

I think we have to believe that we will do better but as [MENTION=24507]Bodian[/MENTION] points out, we'll need some more Sidwell's (who was magnificent at Villa)

 

[Titanic]

I doubt the current squad would... so it will depend who we sign in the next few months.

Yes,we seemed a bit more physical this season,still a little concerned we may have coughed and farted on the big occasion (both toon games and Villa yesterday)
Have to target the 3 teams we hope to finish above next season,think we are more than capable of finishing above
Palace,Bournemouth,hull/Swansea,whoever comes up via play offs.

This. Our recruitment has been generally good hopefully we will sign the right players to add some much-needed quality.

And give away 33 free kicks on the edge of the box instead of 3?

It's going to be hard to finish above Palace as they've given themselves a 6 point head start

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Depends,i assume Chris will have an idea on what size of playing budget he needs to work with,i hope he gets it......just having a Gus flashback moment.

As long as the opposition's eleven leading players get put out of the game through injury in tackles that don't incur a booking, maybe it's a trade-off worth thinking about?

I hate cocky Manchester United fans, all of them, even Bobby Charlton, tossers.

Would be good if we get Man U at the Amex in one of those games and achieved a draw or better! Should have gone for a bigger bet, make him/her sweat for a few months!

 

[Ketchy]

As long as we try and win games, that's all I can ask from the team. Boro haven't even looked liked trying since Christmas.
Just shows having a good defence will still get you relegated and goals are more important then ever!!!

Think he's put the same bet on with other fans!

The current squad probably wouldn't achieve much better than Middlesbrough in the Premier League, but with a few shrewd signings and Baldock turning into our own Vardy who knows.
