Newty82 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Not seen this topic yet. Usually we have one for each season, don't we???Anyway...what are you expecting this season from us?I'm expecting a slowish start as the players get into Koemans ways. A lot of Martinez needs shaking out of them, a few solid PL games will see an improvement.I'd expect us to push for 6th...I think we'll finish 6th - 8th. More likely 8th than 6th us my current feeling. But get progressively better as the season goes on.I don't think the starting 11 is as bad as some think, but squad depth might be an issue.Decent cup runs would be a bonus but they're too unpredictable.

Newty82 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Maybe a poll on where you think we can finish??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I have a feeling we have the wrong manager. I get the feeling of the next few years being really tedious. The squad losing more and more quality as it goes and a return to shite league positions ala Aston Villa. Open the vault door because that's how I truely feel.

Paddock Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Top 10 is realistic. Unless we sign a quality keeper, cdm and a very good back up striker anything above 8th is unrealistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite, I think he's shocked at how poor we are phsically and mentally and I think he's perfect to instill grit, discipline and fight/determination and aggression into us. He also wont settle for anything other than 100% Whether he's good enough to get us top 4 is another question entirely but although it wont be a quick fix he will improve us a lot. duncanmckenzieismagic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think if we get off to a decent start and the players get fitter I can see us being hard to break down and then rapid on the break. I think we could surprise a few this season. 5th for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think we will have a month bedding in period while we buy a couple more players. But I think we will be a much more solid team this year. Im voted for sixth and believe we will be fighting for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev627 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I'd like a top three finish in the league but if we can win some silverware I'll be more than happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Top ten so I out 8. I just want improved record and standing, but mostly better defending and style of play. Better discipline and fitness and a more direct attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Early days but I think once Williams and Rom are in the side and we add one or two more to the squad we'll be pushing the top 8 City Chelsea United Arsenal Spurs Shite West Ham and us will all be fighting for positions imo If we improve the squad and some of the younger lads get experience and we end up in or around the top six considering how the other sides have improved/invested I'd be made up tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ten home and away wins against the bottom half teams and that's 60 points, it's not unreasonable to expect 10 away wins. With 18 games remaining we need only pick up a point a game on average and we finish with 78 points. Should get you a top 4 finish that. We already dropped 2 against Spurs.
