A week before season starts - predict our finishing position?

[RedAsABeetroot]

7th

 

[indeedido]

I back Carrick and think he's the man for us.

I also back Carrick. I think we are very lucky to have him.
Not confident in Scott at all.

 

[mercury_redstone7]

I think we will go up, through the play offs. We will get the right lads in by the end of August and January.
We need a left sided CH RB LB CF as I believe Chuba is about to go.

Not confident in Scott at all. Why?

 

[billsykes]

2nd, easily.

 

[Borokian1876]

Lose
Akpom
Archer
Ramsay
Giles
Mcnair
Steffen
Let's face it they were all our best players .
Replace them with
LB
DM
Silvera
Rogers
Dieng
We are weaker , so need to replace them with better .
Watch this space .

McNair

Anyone else fancy revisiting this midway through the season? I think I’ll stick with this.

I said we’d be lucky to make the playoffs again after we missed out on promotion. As it stands, I’ll stick with that. 10th

 

[Blf]

9th unless the next week brings in a few decent players.

Nah stick with where I am. Decent striker in tonight and I would be thinking 5 or 6 but no one brought in, we just lost one of our better attackers.

 

[Johnny Boy]

9th for me, not a great window. We’ve still got potential in the squad, but nowhere near enough for promotion. Two windows in succession without addressing the striker issue. Let’s hope the summer doesn’t make it three.

 

[MidlandsBoroFan]

I am sticking with my prediction.

8th or 9th. Playoffs if we do as well in the loan market as last year.

Young players who we’ve just signed to improve significantly - promotion 24/25.

 

[newyddion]

Current squad top 6
Replacement for Giles and Archer top 2

any long term injuries or departures to be covered by loans..

I stand by this 6th place prediction

long term injuries or departures to be covered by loans..

Step forward Ayling & Thomas.. spot on

 

[Otto42]

Happy with mine….said Leicester would canter to the title and we would make the playoffs….half way there

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

I said 3rd or 4th. I think that is probably a bit optimistic - I still think we might scrape into the play offs and then who knows.

 

[guisborough_rob]

First part of my prediction was correct, I reckon 7th is still about right too. Development season.

 

[mercury_redstone7]

Love the optomists to be honest, its why we go, as Boro fan Ineed some just now.

 

[Laughing]

I think I said 3rd which will turn out to be wrong.

We will make the playoffs though. I can't see us winning the playoffs that will be tough.

 

[SmogonOuseburn]

I originally said 4th but that has proved too optimistic. Will settle for 6th, just ousting Blunderland from play-offs.

 

[parmoboy]

With our current squad, I'd say 10th.

If we sign a LB, DM and ST, then I'd say we can finish in one of the play-off places.

I'm going to go inbetween and say 8th. If we can have a fully fit squad for a period of time we can go on a run but I'd imagine we'll pick up more injuries as the season progresses.

 

[Duffman]

I will stick with my original 8th but we could probably nick 7th ( the worst position to finish in) if injuries clear up. Sadly I think these 6 teams who are stronger than us will finish above us in this order :
Leicester
Southampton
Leeds
Hull City
Ipswich
Coventry

Leeds to win play off final and 3 who came down to go straight back up

 

[Glover_elbow]

Coventry hull and Ipswich have all recruited well this window.
