Relegation

[Rene Artois]

Is it on the cards this season?

I’ll take a punt that we’ll finish 10th to 14th

Any thoughts.
A five place band for predictions.

Top half. Just.

Mid table, not good enough to compete at the top (with the current squad) just a bit too much to go down.

We’re only a few injuries away from really struggling though.

First 12 games will give a good idea if someone has learned after last season !

I think they will be OK but as regards promotion if we have the targeting games idea again then no.

i have previously predicted that we wont be good enough to be top 7 and during the course of the whole season will flirt with both the play off places and relegation spots so finishing anywhere 8th the 21st … im gonna go for lower mid so 17th

Weren’t we all predicting a lower mid-table finish for last season?

[Awaywego]

No

I forecast 17 th last year with 60 points, nowhere near. I think the squad is stronger, but whether or not we can challenge for promotion depend s on two thing. Firstly, stop conceding sloppy goals, particularly in the last 10 mins of games. Secondly, compensate for the lack of Cal Robert’s goals. To do this, we must play with 2 up top, and the rest of the team must contribute with goals from center backs and central midfield. If we can meet both these targets, challenging is again within our grasp. Fail on one and we will be mid table. Fail on both and we will be in the bottom 7!

Not having WG’s incredible memory of other teams players capabilities I’m going to reserve judgement until we have played a few games.

How well the new lads perform in an Iron shirt and how well Smith and Hurst deliver on past promise will make the difference between playoff push and flirting with the bottom 4.

We understandably won’t be challenging for automatic promotion given once again there will be half a dozen clubs with significantly bigger budgets and 1 or 2 of them will have spent wisely.

Neither do I think we are relegation fodder even if most of the new lads disappoint. Will save my prediction until end August/early September. Need to be sure he who is always right isn’t having another flirtation with 5 at the back.

It’s hard to judge at this stage, there are a few decent signings so far, but the key is how will they all gel. My best guess is that we’ll be in play-off contention all season, and likely finish in 6th or 7th place.
