Final league position May 2020

I'd love to see this thread from last year....

Think 13/5 to beat Coventry is very tempting odds

 

[Firestorm]

Honestly, where do you think we will be in the table next May

I am sure many will revisit in 9 months and mock those pessimists or optimists

I'll start with
18th (19th if we end up in a 23 team division )

I think we just have enough to keep us in the league, particularly given the problems surrounding other clubs , however a repeat of last seasons injuries, or a drop in attendances enough to cause cash flow issues could see us slip out .

sorry , missed the earlier thread

Lower half

I actually feel like this squad and it's capabilities are a bit of an unknown quantity. There are a number of reasons why we had such a **** season last year, be it injuries or a lack of tactical nous from CP. In Humphrys, I feel like we have someone with all the attributes needed to bully defenders at this level, and he is easily capable of scoring 20 goals. On paper, the defence should be a lot stronger than what we had playing for a large portion of last season.
We've had such an up and down last few years, with the incredible run we had in Powell's first half season, followed by the dross of last year, that it's so difficult so guess what is ahead. If we can keep players fit, get behind the team and have a half decent start, I don't see why we won't be pleasantly surprised this season. I'd say top half, with the potential to flirt with play-offs. I don't think you actually have to be that good to achieve that in this league.

I went upper half because my heart said to do it! But realistically more likely to be a struggle this term.

If our defence is improved by Shaughnessy & Ralph and possibly Ridgewell then we may not concede some of the silly goals of last year. Nearly all teams go down because of goals conceded not scored, look at our goal difference compared to the teams below last season. With a reasonable defence then I can see us finishing in a comfortable position. Who knows, get it right up front as well and we could be dabbling in the top half.

12th-15th maybe pushing 10th with a bit of luck

No mocking but the pessimists were vindicated.

Best prediction: @risgby with no way Bond will lose 13 home games. I don't know if he was predicting Bond's sacking or the coronavirus curtailing the season but we did indeed only lose 11 at home (12 including the League Cup) That deserves a beer whenever we next meet up for a match.

Where's he got to these days, and where's Blueronron?

Where's he got to these days, and where's Blueronron?

Both were on here this morning according to their profiles.

I’ve voted for relegation, because I just don’t see us staying up tbh.
