Where will we finish this season?

[danlanza]

Top 7, maybe sneaking into 6th, depending on injuries.

[Dr Butler]

top 10 will do for now...and that blasted FA cup too...

UTV

I mentioned to a Chelsea fan I work with that I thought we would easily be top 8. He laughed and offered me the line at top half. £50 is now booked, they better not let me down

Take the money now.

9th/10th. If we could sort out the defence it could be higher but I expect the lack of clean sheets will cost us a couple of places.

10th-12th.  Will struggle against teams who sit back.

I'd go along with that.  Until and unless we can keep a clean sheet we need 2 or more goals to win a game, so we'll have games like Saturday where it just doesn't happen for us in front of goal.

Currently 9th, GD 0. After last season, if we finish with that then I'll be satisfied.
Anything better than that, including a cup, is a a bonus.

Have a look at the predictions here, scroll down to the Villa - not sure who John Ray is, is he on here?

8th, like that latter Gregory glory years.

[Des Little]

10th and FA cup quarters

[Matt C]

8th-10th. Steady but encouraging progress.

[Matt Collins]

We can get as high as 7th or 8th, but only if we can start keeping clean sheets every now and then. We can't keep on having to score one just to get a draw.
