Let's face it, whilst these new signings appear exciting, none of us really know how they will adapt to the premiership. 9th is about as much as I dare to dream. I'd be surprised if we're in yet another fkn dogfight though.
The appearance that we finally look to have got some people in position off the pitch that actually have a clue what they're doing gives me a lot more hope than the fact that we've had a bit of a clear out and got some new faces in. Looks like Lerner is here to stay for at least this season and he's backed the manager so far. A couple more out and a couple more quality players in and it's game on for us.
League cup is a chance and maybe a UEFA cup finish, if we really get things together, but 9th is my call and would be a significant improvement over the absolute dross of the last 4-5 seasons. Make or break for TS this season. I think he can lift us, but then I thought that of Lambert, even up to this season, so shows how much I know.
I used to really care about Villa, but I'd trade an ashes win for another trip to Wembley now, in all honesty.

I'd be happy to finish lower half, safe lower half and be a good cup side next season. We need to blend all those players in, so I wonder if the season after might be a better barometer? I want us to be competitive and not the laughing stock we once were. All that said, hopefully we are now back to being a top 8 side.

Mid-table would do just fine after the last few seasons.

10th - 12th and well clear of the relegation zone will suit me.

Bet365 have us at 4 - 1 to be the top Midlands side. Sturk favourites. Anyone else considering a heavy bet on the re-establishment of the natural order ?

Beating Arsenal 5-0 in the cup final. Boring final, only one team in it.

Below Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Swansea and Stoke.
Above Watford, Norwich, Bournemouth, Leicester, West Brom and Sunderland.
Either above or below Southampton, West Ham, Newcastle and Palace.
So 10th-14th. I'll guess 12th.

So difficult to call where we will finish. We've made so many changes to the side which finished last season and we could expect some of them to settle better and quicker than others. A mid table finish, some entertainment and stronger home record will be welcome for me.

No idea. Anywhere between 8th and 20th is possible. I'd guess we'll end up around 11-15th.

Lets go for a boring season and be mid table - would be such a change not having to think its a must win home game in April
Oh and lets get greedy and have a real day out at the end of May when we finally win that cup I still haven't seen us win !

10th and above the Albion would make me a happy man.

14th to 10th, but finishing like an express train after a ropey first couple of months.

8th-13th.
The squad has been transformed in a matter of weeks and we don't have the luxury of bedding these players in. They really need to hit the ground running quickly and more importantly adapt to the pace of the Premier League...a few of them could have a wake up call within the first few games if they are not on it so I hope TS and the staff get it drummed into them that these preseason games are nothing like they should expect when we get down to business.

If the defence can do an average premiership job then maybe top half. If they gift goals again then a bottom half finish.We just can't afford to give goals away to teams that are probably on a par with us.
