Realistic Expectations

[Risso]

Two strikers capable of 15+ goals each. Creativity and extra goals in spades from Bailey, Buendia and Traore. Top 6, absolute minimum.

We can rotate in most positions now so expect a really good cup run this season.

That would be ultimate middle finger to Grealish if we can win some well overdue silverware.

Aston Villa FC.   Not Jack Grealish FC

This is a difficult one because of all the flux elsewhere let alone at Villa. We'll be doing well to hit the ground running as we've got quite a few new players to bed in and potentially a new system? I'd say 7th/8th.

The FA Cup so his grandad can say "Told you son"

Could the poll be reset please?  This is for last year isn't it?

Why not. Apologies if it wasn't. I'm guessing after the events of the last few days people might have different feelings anyway and will welcome the chance to vote again.

Anyway, reckon we've had a boost in terms of clubs we might finish ahead of - Fofana who was arguably Leicester's best player last season looks to be f****d for the season after a proper clattering in their friendly tonight.

Devastating blow for Leicester who finished 5th .Shades of Cowans losing a season after a friendly v a Spanish club,Bilbao ? West Ham finished 6th.We can overtake these 2.So 5th.

7/8th. Many players will need to gel so I think that time may just cost us. Full potential for higher though. Lower than 8th would be a failure.

[wince]

Optimistic.  Dean, don't let us have a shit period please.

[Mooro]

8th, but have a feeling that will be disappointing after some great spells during the season.

[Demitri_C]

Well we have own villa BMW (bailey-mcginn-watkins)

Boom 🍾

[passport1]

Good players well recruited  won't  take long to gell I am expecting top six.

[gpbarr]

I think anywhere from 8th up is progress this season. Top 6 would be a bonus. Top 4 would be an incredible achievement. The project continues - I fully expect the club too be pushing top 4 (as the owners and CP have made clear is the ambition) within 2 seasons.

[Des Little]

Top 6 this season, top 4 next.

Do you want to bet against us?

Ings has dramatically elevated my expectations.
