Hopes & expectations for 2024/25 Season

[Des Little]

Win the FA Cup and stay up on goal difference will do me.

CL should go down to 5th as last year was a bit of a anomaly in how bad all the sides were in the three European competitions, you'd assume a very good showing from 2-3 sides and harder to get knocked out in the group stages.

I'd like to give the league cup a serious go. I think we play at least one round before CL even starts and then hopefully we can get some o.k home draws and Barkley et al can be o.k in those games. Pretty sure I read that QFs clash with Conference league so Chelsea would have to put out a Liverpool type youth team if they're still in it.

Not sure why they still play two legs in January though with CL expansion so that would be tricky to juggle but ultimately at least one CL club will more than likely be in the final.0

Taking 4th from Spurs on the last home game of the season against Spurs.

Finishing 15th in the UCL league but losing the knockout legs.

Knocked out early in both cups.

The priority will remain the Premier League, followed by the Champions League.

No risks will be taken for the cups.

Right now we need to retain or increase both our profile and our revenue, which is where the league and europe massively outweigh the domestic cups.

So much as we all want a trophy, it’s probably the least likely outcome this season.

League : Could be anywhere from 3rd to 7th depending on how quickly the team gels. So 5th with CL qualification.
Champs League : Last 16, maybe quarter-finals with a favourable draw.
FA Cup : Quarter-finals.
League Cup : Won't be prioritised so a 3rd or 4th round exit.
 
That would be a very good season.

As of now this is word for word what I would have said. I think 3rd to 7th will be closely fought. Also agree that I think Arsenal will win the league, which I hate.

In all honesty, I'm not sure how one can make predictions on the season until we have finished in the transfer window.

That said, I will say that as it stands, we are between 6th and 8th given the current squad. We will bring at least one more in tho and that could see us a place or 2 higher.

I would be absolutely stunned if we finish in a CL position, and even more stunned if we did it without a new RB, CB and back up striker.

As far as "hopes" go, I'll be hoping for the same thing as every other season. Win a trophy. Any bloody trophy!

Stay up

Top four

Beat small heath at home in either quarter final

I am expecting a poor start but then recovering and winning the League.

Very random! You're predicting staying up AND top 4, then expecting Blues to make a QF haha
