Where will we finish?
« on: August 04, 2011, 10:40:49 PM »
Will run the poll again on Aug 31st, after the couple of games, and the rest of the transfer window is up.

Kept distinct from the predictions thread as we can see at a glance where the general opinion lies re us.

An optimistic 8th.

Unlucky for some. 13th. No bite. Too much reliance on shots in the dark.

8th at best and I think I'm being ambitious at that.

Crikey.

Does someone really think we'll finish 19th?

I mean, I think we're going to struggle big style, but second bottom?

11th. Creativity will be a problem with a huge reliance on Bent and The Zog. Lots of question marks over players in key positions. Hope I'm wrong and Alex M can get the best out of the 2nd chancers like he did with some of the tat when he was down the road.

7th. You can't put a value on a squad that is motivated as opposed to last year and all of the in-fighting. Add to that we gave away stupid goals and numerous leads, many late in the game. So despite everything off the field we could have had a lot more points. If we can tighten up at the back we'll become hard to beat. We need to develop some chemistry going forward and I think that will come. I don't think AM is done shopping and I still think he'll bring in 2 or 3 more including loans. I've gone for 7th, with a stronger 2nd half of the season than first half.

Going to go for a slight improvement on last year and say 8th.
That is only if we stay injury free though ... squad is not strong enough to take to many "hits" this season, and I'm not sure the "kids" have what it takes! Hope I am wrong on that count though.

7th for me. I'm surprised by some of the negativity.

I would interested to hear from anyone who thinks we'll finish in the bottom half regarding what teams outside the top 6 they think are better than ours?

Given that Man U, Man C, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool are almost guaranteed to finish above us I think we are looking at 7th at the absolutely most optomistic, as reflected so far in the poll.  I think we will do well to finish above Everton too and Sunderland and QPR I reckon will both be in the top 10 with Bolton there or there abouts so a top half finish with the squad we have is very optomistic imo.  I went for 10th a couple of weeks ago but after our pre-season and the seemingly stagnant transfer policy I'm going for 12th or 13th.

I'll put money on QPR coming in the bottom 6.
