South Bristol Red Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 with the new season a few weeks away and nothing much happening on here i thought i would start a poll so where do you think we will end up this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I voted 16-18th - but that's based on the current squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 10-12th - even with Maynard going, I still think we have a good attacking line-up and kerf will get a good couple defensive loanees to help. With the division being so strong I'd be happy this year to consolidate, no relegating fears and the team to play good short passing attacking football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon atyeo is my dad Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'd go mid to table maybe lower part based on current squad ! If we sign 2 to 3 good defenders we could be in the playoffs! With the quality that's in this league the top 2 is out the question unless we hit the ground running but I think that's just a dream u have after to many ciders.

Matty-H Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Purely based on how we currently stand: Relegation battle. Obviously this may change depending on who we add before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 With current defence mid table,with three quality additions in defence playoffs is where we need to aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangers Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 low mid table. need a defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 If we don't replace Maynard (IF he goes) & aren't lucky enough to get a whole new back 4 in, then relegation is on the cards. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InCider Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Okay, own up. Who voted that we will win the league? Personally, I think just outside the play-offs, but that's with a couple of new defenders and keeping Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Mat Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 About 64% say the bottom half, and only 7% think we have any chance of finishing in the top 6. However, I think that says more about other teams than ourselves. We've seen some strong teams come down, strong teams come up and teams already in this division spend heavily. I hope, and I think, the established squad and good team work ethics that Keef's developing is enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 As sad as I am to say this I think we will score goals and be amongst the top scoring teams but sadly the lack of defensive cohesion makes me plump for 16th -18th or even lower. Please prove me wrong but the last two seasons I have been spot on. sorry folks just got a bad feeling about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harito495 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I confess I put champions I don't feel 1 team will walk the league, I think it will be very close & I have faith Keith will add at least 2 defenders to the team & I personally feel we have one of the best attacking teams in the league, Maynard/Stead/Pitman/Taylor all look & are quality, Adomah/Bolasie/JCR(if he can be consistent)/Woolford(all to prove) so top class wingers & Cisse I would argue is the best mid in the league...absolute class & kilkenny looks like a class act.... But hey I'm always optimistic !! COYR !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craven arms Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I just hope there's three poorer side's in that league than us,but i dont think there is,at this rate we may get are Bristol derby next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitySteve Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have gone for 16th - 18th, with the current squad I think we wil draw more than we will win, but if we can get a couple of good defenders in the squad i think we can make the play offs maybe even push for 1st or 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 with the new season a few weeks away and nothing much happening on here i thought i would start a poll so where do you think we will end up this season? As eveybody else Im looking to the defence. Is Fontaine injured? As I said before, if the defence problem is sorted out and we can remain Nicky we sure be top 10. Otherwise it can be difficault. Stewart are to many kilos, and to slow at the moment, saw him on player. As I see it we have Ribbs, Carey, Wilson, Fonts, Nyatanga, Macca and Edwards as defenders. Ar they fit and good enoff? Hope so. Ribbs and Wilson can make it this season, knock on wood they avoids injuries. Hunt I dont know, maybe he played las year with an injurie? Anyway looking forward to august 6. Coyr!!!

WellRedPhil Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 So out of all the people who believe we'll finish in the top 6 going up as Champions is the most popular choice? Staggering. 10th-12th I reckon although it's clearly very hard to say until the window's closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I dont see why so many people think we'll do worse than last year, granted we dont have Caulker but we havn't really lost anyone else that played a main part in finishing 16th was it? I mean we've sorted a priority position by bringing Kilkenny in and If we have Maynard for a full season not just for a few games, and sign one or two defenders which keef will do. I can see us finishing around the just outside of the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 10th-12th. We've a better team than last year, more togetherness, stability and hopefully a better pre-season. It's not quite a top 10 side yet, though, because there are a lot of strong sides in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Kilkenny is an excellent signing by all accounts and will address a priority need in midfield. However the talk of international duty bothers me to a degree, I wouldn't be surprised to see him only start around 30 games this season and as such we're in no stronger a position at our core for around a third of the season - speculatively speaking clearly. Bolasie cannot be expected to repeat Adomah's feats, just as Adomah himself cannot be expected to replicate his own. With or without Maynard we are relatively strong up front without injury. Stead and one of Maynard or Pittman is an attack worthy of most teams in the league - scratch the surface and our backup options should do a capable, deputising, job. As we all know defence is the big worry. Riberio and Wilson are promising talents and should be given every chance but their injury records mean they cannot be relied upon. If they're fit great, but for me it's a bonus rather than a consideration. Away from those we have Carey, who I personnaly wouldn't have given an extension - although that is clearly dependent on getting people in which we're struggling to do, Nyatanga who has never really convinced, McAllister who has needed competition at least for the past two seasons and Fontaine, who is suddenly an absolutely pivotal member of the squad. The league looks strong and we, at least currently, look marginally weaker. Voted 13th-15th which is about the best I can see, maybe the next bracket up but that would represent a good, and suprising, season for me. We'll be closer to the bottom than the top, playoffs is dreamland right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
