Mr Popodopolous Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Thought 10th for a while and am sticking to it- but Category wise on the poll 7th-12th. Good or exciting football, continuing to develop the side especially younger players and a tilt at top 6 place..but ultimately 10th.

KegCity Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Anything below 10th would be failure, Pearson has had plenty of time and we look more than capable of being in the mix. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my feelings too tbh. We've been patient until now because we understood the conditions he's had to work under but now he's had a bit of money to spend and the squad is his then it has to be a top 10 finish.

KeithWelch'sTash Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) 10th/11th but closer points wise to the playoffs (the nature of the championship). important that we keep Nige though and not do anything stupid like sacking him and replacing with an assistant Edited August 3, 2023 by KeithWelch'sTash 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3_RED Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 The season is going to be one of the hardest for a long time. All three clubs that came down will probably be battling for top 2 and the promoted teams (apart from Plymouth) are big clubs and are certainly attractive to players. If we can finish on around 60 points I would be happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as it does every year to me: competitive. I completely understand the context of Pearson’s time here and fully appreciate the progress we’ve made off the field but it’s not a massive ask to finish above 14 sides given we’re now into his third season at the club. The squad is perfectly capable of finishing in the top ten and I can’t really think of an excuse for us not to. Happy to be convinced otherwise though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 I went for playoffs, because I went with my heart over my head. Someone in the office asked me the other day how we'd do. I said if we keep Scott (big ask I know) then Play Offs could be in reach and should be the target If we lost Scott it'll depend on how we replace him or what we do with the money I'm expecting 10th or above to be honest, I don't think that's an unrealistic goal.

Eddie Hitler Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 I go 16th to 18th, though without any serious relegation worries. This IMO is our last transition season from the problems that Ashton left us with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cov Millwall Hull Ipswich Birmingham Stoke The likes of Watford and West Brom don’t look too much of a threat this year. But they’re the sort of teams that can put a real run together.

ExiledAjax Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I've said it's a season where luck is gunna play a part. Hopefully we're lucky and get the penalties we deserve, hopefully we're lucky and get some deflections, some tackles that should be injuries aren't, hopefully it all works out. If it largely goes our way then 6th/7th is possible...if not then we'll be 12th or below. Hence I go 9th and cross my fingers.

BCFC Rich Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 I don't think you can easily make these predictions (although I did vote and it is interesting to see where the general feeling is). I think NP alluded to this in his press conference. He is clearly confident in our players, and that we have progressed. He basically said we need to see how other teams end up - whose signings gel, who is a surprise package, do some of the teams we expect to do well struggle for confidence/injuries/form, etc. We know the championship is a tough league, but it's hard to gauge how tough this season will be until we start the season to see where things end up. To simplify let's say we have much better season and end on 70 points (11-point improvement) - last season that would have been 6th and a playoff place, but in 21/22 it would have been 7th/8th and 5 points behind the playoffs. 20/21 it would have been 7th/8th and 7 points behind the playoffs. Confident we will do well, but there are a lot of variables outside of how much we have improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 10th - 12th. Hopefully more of a stable season where we don’t look over our shoulder very much. That’s progress that I’ll be happy with this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, true, that is imo equally ridiculous given we've been in no danger of relegation since "peak" Holden-ball, and we are probably stronger than we've been at anytime since then. @Grey Fox...really?
