I know we don't know the final squad.... i'm sure there be lots of "ins and outs" to come ..... but as a bit of fun, where do you think we will finish under Big Neil next season?

I'm going for 8th
 
6th-16th - it’s a tight old league

I’d like to say the teams coming up are not as strong as the ones that went down. the challengers have stalled and have to drop some talent to balance the books.. teams coming down haven’t got the right mix to go back up. But I think it’ll be pretty similar to this year. Very tight and decided on fine margins.
 
I *think* we’ll do so much better than most of us are expecting, and will finish in the top 6. I don’t think Warnock would be here if he didn’t think there was a chance of that.
That said, I’ll be more than satisfied with a top half finish and a few extra goals.
 
We have been on a sliding trend and there were worrying signs especially with the run of home defeats At the back end of the season.

It would have to have a remarkable change both in personnel and mentality to finish anywhere near the playoffs. I am confident the latter can be achieved under Warnock and his coaching team but I’m not sure about the former.
 
We massively under-performed last season. Woodgate should have had us no lower than midtable. He was a disaster. We should be expecting mid-table as a minimum but looking up. I don't think Warnock would've taken the job if he wasn't expecting to be challenging. The right signings should have us challenging for the playoffs which means finishing somewhere between 1st if it goes better than expected and 12th if it goes worse.
 
Better than 17th.

Too early to say any better than that.

When we have a few more new signings and hopefully Friend and Johnson signed up. I d' like to see Gibson and Roberts on loan.
 
Season --- Played ---- Won ---- Drawn ---- Lost ---- For --- Against ---- GD --- Points

15/16 ------ 46 -------- 26 ------- 11 -------- 9 ----- 63 ------- 31 ----- +32 ----- 89

17/18 ------ 46 -------- 22 ------- 10 ------- 14 ----- 67 ------- 45 ----- +22 ---- 76

18/19 ------ 46 -------- 20 ------- 13 ------- 13 ----- 49 ------- 41 ----- + 8 ----- 73

19/20 ------ 46 -------- 13 ------- 14 ------- 19 ----- 48 ------- 61 ----- -13 ----- 53


15/16 to 17/18 = 13 points less

17/18 to 18/19 = 3 points less

18/19 to 19/20 = 20 points less :oops:

So on average we’re getting 12 points worse off a season since relegation.

Which means anything Warnock gets better than 41 points is ahead of our rate of decline…….

:p
