samo II Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 12th-8th Not comprehending the expectations of higher than that; we've signed good players, and I feel we're better than last season, but this is a tough and unforgiving league and we are far from the finished article.

RooknRobin Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 10th to 16th. I'll go with 12th. Huddersfield dark horses, interestingly their guy tipping us as ones to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 if we are unbeaten after 5 games then top 6 here we come. That said the first 5 could go tits up so i dont have a clue. Thats City for you, never a dull moment ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwaystomorrow Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Agree totally with Robert the Bruce. Around 15th. Minor improvement on last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 17th, a lot of squads in this division still look very good & the top 7/8 are pretty much set in stone for me. The teams that finished around us this season like Fulham Huddersfield and Leeds have all spent very well so far this summer. Minor improvement but won't be making any waves in this division just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor improvement but won't be making any waves in this division just yet. Fulham appear to be making very sensible signings that should mean less of a worrying season for them IF they can find goals. Kalas, McFonald and Button, Aluko so far, but Dembele and McCormack (presumably) out. Lots of pressure on Matt Smith, Sonny Aluko and Cauley Woodrow to get goals. Huddersfield are potentially this season's Sheff Wednesday, but maybe not quite there, and reliance on their new players gel'ing. Leeds - jury out for me....don't think they'll do any better than last season, expecting another crisis at some point during the season. I think Barnsley and Burton will struggle, and sorry @Mortis and @PNE_fan, I think Preston might have a rougher ride this season. Not saying they will go down, just think teams will know how to play them. I think Villa will be bottom half too. As for City, no idea. Heart says 8th, head says 12th-15th.

In which case I wouldn't be completely mad to do a similar bet on City this year . I wouldn't dispute the odds given by the bookies which are based on good logic , but a bit of luck, a good start and a surge in confidence could suprise many . However , I'll go for a 9th place finish , but you never know . They did, one of them lives near me......my youngest was at his daughters 4th birthday party on Saturday. Mrs Woodsy came home and told me she'd been told that they'd won a few quid on a bet on Leicester winning the league - l'd read about him, and a quick google soon confirmed the story, I don't think she believed them! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-36196376 Went and sat in the beer garden at the local for an hour on Saturday night and he was over there, he seems v popular over there all of a sudden..... As for the original question - anywhere between 10th and 15th for me. I'd accept not being in a relegation battle at any point this season, that is progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 4 hours ago, cynic said: Agreed. If we get Matthews back then we will have two of the influential loanees that contributed to a good second half of the season. Have we replaced Baker ? Not sure, but we'll find out soon enough. Other teams have strengthened and I would say we are currently behind quite a few others. I would think a finish of around 15th is achievable. Burton, Rotherham, and Barnsley for the drop. Newcastle, Derby, and Sheffield to go up. Agreed except I'd swap Sheffield for Villa. Think they'll spunk a load of magically appeared cash at Chrimbo on the loan market and go up via play offs.

If they do have another crisis caused by Cellino then i expect they'll finish around the same place as last season. But with Monk in charge I think they'll do a lot better. Predicted Preston to have a worse season as well. Gone with 18th for them. Also got Rotherham, Burton and Blackburn going down Blackburn sold Rhodes in January and looked very poor after that. Granted they've signed Anthony Stokes to replace him, but not too sure if he'll cut it down here. Also with the recent sale of Hanley i can't see them staying up unless their mental owners actually put some back into the club and sign a couple.

Garland-sweden Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Think we will be among the ten. Hope for top six. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'd settle for anywhere outside the relegation places, with no relegation worries. Safe lower mid table would be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Most of you saying midtable - what are the areas you need to work on to push higher up? Think your midfield looks strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
