Where will we finish this season?

[PeterWithesShin]

We aren't far from a more than decent side. I'm really hoping that with another years experiences for the kids, as well as the boost of confidence of staying up, as well as the quality of performances since HT vs Newcastle that we could be a bit tasty to watch. We've already seen in glimpses of what this side is capable of once they have a bit of confidence.

1st.

Do you want to bet against us?

[pauliewalnuts]

Not really.

10th or so.

I hope we can keep Benteke for another season, and that we learn to defend. If we do, we'll be a decent side.

That's the season after.   I'm not joking.

Next season mid table, but more importantly by continuing to play attractive attacking football with Benteke getting 25 league goals.

Champions League. With Benteke.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves chaps. Without significant improvement to the squad we'll be an injured/suspended/off-form Benteke away from being in trouble again.

[Broughty-Villian]

10-12 spot will be fine progress

10-12 spot will be fine progress

What if we finish there this season? Which is a real possibility.

This^^^

Also, Lambert teams tend to finish strongly -  I wouldnt go expecting us to replicate this sort of form all season long.

That said, with the squad as it stands I'd say 10th-15th.  A few additions (and holding on to The Beast of B6) and I'd say 8th-10th easily

So, I'm guessing, but we need more 'premier league experience'? Right?

We totally will!




















Hold on to your seats!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Man With A Stick]

Not sure, but I can't wait for August.  There's a lot of goodwill behind this team, neutrals and some of the press like what we're trying to do, which is miles away from the way we were despised a year or two back.

I'll be happy with top 10 and progress in the cups (winning one would be nice).

[The Left Side]

8th without a doubt and a cup

If we don't invest at all I fancy this squad as it is to finish top 10 quite easily. They've matured over the season.  Get rid of the dross, and invest in some real quality and I think we can push for top 6 again.
