Tangle Foot Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Unbelievably, come the end of the match on Sunday 7th May 2017, we could be sitting in 15th place on 57 points (if results go our way). Last season we ended up in 18th place on 52 points. Of course you have to take into account in coming players (Tammy for example) and out going players. Our squad, on paper at least, is now much stronger than last season. 6 wins, where we lost, would have put us just outside the play-offs, probably where we should have ended up! Here's to next season, a season I hope will surprise many. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Genuinely don't know what to expect next season Normally you are able to have a decent idea but not sure anyone can know atm A steady 1.5 pts / game consistently through the season would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 69 points and would put any team 8th this year. Would be nice but that's a pretty good season but an over 60 season would be good. Some of the teams we could finish sboive haven't worried about relegation in weeks(Wolves Ipswich) so slightly better season than that and I'd be happy.

robinreliant Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Consolidating our place in the Championship was always my wish instead of blowing it like we usually do and going down almost immediately. Hopefully next season we can continue to consolidate Championship status. As much as I would love us to be a Premiership team, what comes with that would probably be more than my old ticker could stand. A good cup run along with a reasonable mid table top half finish would do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judda Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Never above 8th and never below 14th. All season. Stress free. We love a bit of excitement really though..... don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Late in the season LJ eventually found his favoured 11 and since then results have improved which should bode well for next season. However........LJ has also said that there will be "2 or 3" additions to the squad over the summer so will that mean that he'll struggle again to find a reliable starting 11? Lets bloody hope not....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to Cassel in france where he is believed to have marched his men there used to be a fabulous museum where they showed with miniatures (think NTTDS and subbuteo) every European war that went past or through them and just in case any one is not sure sadly they all did.

bcfcnick Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think the Club have to aspire to reach the play-offs. Seeking a solid middle of the table position is a bit like going out and playing for the draw and I don't think it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 So many dreams, so many false hopes, so many short memories; we only guaranteed our survival a week ago and that was with the divisions best goalscorer.....and we will be better next season without him...........yeah sure we will. We will battle to survive next season, LJ`s summer signings will be given till xmas to gel and by then it will be too late to change course; lots of fans getting way ahead of themselves and ours and LJ`s capabilities.

You seem like a glass half empty kinda guy.......... .... None of us have a crystal ball so are completely unable to predict how things will go next season. City are finishing the season well and that's good sign. LJ finally has a settled team so that good as well. There will be some new signings in the summer so that another positive. LJ has had another full season of experience in the SBC and will have benefited from it so that's another positive sign. Yet you say we'll struggle to survive..........
