10th ish
I’m happy with my prediction.
10th ish
Exactly as I posted.Still impossible to say.
New contract for Akpom, sign Archer, borrow Ramsey, a good LB and a DM then I think we will be minimum play offs.
Current squad with more signings like we have made so far, then we will be below 6th and maybe a way back.
Fingers crossed we bring in the quality we desperately need.
Looking likely. Should have put money on it!15th
Start off poorly but a late run will reap 7th place, just falling short.
Not sure it was supposed to be a consolidating season but happy with my predictionAs it stands we'll struggle to make the playoffs.
If this is indeed a consolidating season, i'll be happy with top 8
Looks like the pessimists were closest.Fantasists - Scott has signed brilliantly, they will all be better than last season's departures (who were all over-rated) and we will kick on after a full Carrick pre season. Akpom will stay because he loves it here, but if he goes then we won't miss him and he was a one season wonder who owed it all to super Riley. We should only sign the Silvero/Rogers types. It is inevitable we will make the top 2. Carrick innit.
Optimists - Scott is the man, we have signed well, just look at the academy. Akpom stays, the window will see more quality arrive for the first team and we have to be realistic about how finances are and how we are dependent on PL clubs making their squad decisions. Better start than last season and Carrick cements a Play off spot.
Pessimists - The signings have been very uninspiring, Chuba will leave for too low a fee at the end of the window, we won't sign anyone of quality and the Villa lads will not return. Injuries are a major problem and Howson will fade badly. Pre season woes will continue into the start of the season and we will drift along in mid table, wondering did we really score all of those goals last season.
Fatalists - The squad is rubbish, the signings are rubbish, Gibson has no intention of investing in the squad and will sell anybody. Scott hasn't got a clue, Akpom will go, we won't bring in anybody any good. We will start badly, Carrick will be off as soon as he gets an offer. We could go down, its happened to bigger clubs.
Realists - We are dependent on PL clubs sorting their squads. There is still time left in the window to recruit the obvious quality we need. Gibson wants his club in the PL for all sorts of reasons and will support the right recruitment; some of which might be very exciting. Injuries will heal. The squad has some quality, some potential and starts with a better coaching team from the start. Our crowd is big and good. But we will start the season with a weaker squad and key injuries versus the second half of last season.
I think Col and I are realists.
Newy is a Fantasist of course

pessimists were 12-15thLooks like the pessimists were closest.
Them's some wonderfully arbitrary ranges you got there...pessimists were 12-15th
realists 8-12
optimists 1-7
yes, I was bang on the money as a realist, with an 8-10th prediction
I was referring to the classifications based on Indeedido's piece. They were only the Jonny Howson prediction out.pessimists were 12-15th

any grouping is arbitrary, but there are those who thought we were going up or in the play offs, they have been proven optimistsThem's some wonderfully arbitrary ranges you got there...
ah, I don't see indeedio's postsI was referring to the classifications based on Indeedido's piece. They were only the Jonny Howson prediction out.
