gkoston Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 You'll see I've not been on here long but I've already learnt that you can't please everyone and its very much about a difference of opinions, some peoples aren't worth a second look (Leamington and Big Guns)… Anyway, without being a "stagnator" and being realistic, I would expect a top 10 finish next season to be a good season for us. I am full of optimism and quite often the first to get carried away when we win 2 or 3 games in a row and speak of MM's ambition and know what his number 1 aim is and he wants success immediately which is fantastic, but I see a lot of teams next season pushing at the top end with similar objectives, does anyone realistically think we will finish above… QPR, Reading, Wigan, Brighton, Leicester, Forest, Blackpool, Middlesbrough, Blackburn?? I could have thrown one or two more in there but I am optimistic we have a good chance of finishing ahead of Palace (if they don't go up) Bolton, Charlton, Derby, Leeds etc… I want promotion next season but based on this and unless we spend big in the next couple of months, a good season would be finishing 10th, but would you be happy with that?

owls about that Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't see us signing the quality players that we will need for a promotion push, I will be looking at mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Big Guns is alright bless him, his only crime is that he thinks Helan is worth half a million quid, cant lump him in with Leamington though. As for where we'll finish, I'm guessing about 17th, but would like to see us around the middle, 12th would do me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithmetic Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 What makes you think Middlesbrough will be any good next year? If the season was a couple of weeks longer, they'd have been a dead cert for the drop. Shocking form since the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SouthLeedsOwl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 It really all depends on who we sign. DJ has indicated he wants 5 new players but i cant imagine given his budget the players he will sign can mount a promotion push. I might be wrong but i would say we'll finish anywhere between 10th and 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingscross2hirst Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Blackpool? Cant see them being anywhere near a threat. Theyre on freefall. Once they lose Tom Ince, they'll be fighting it out with the likes of Yeovil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamb1253 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 We will finish 18th next season - even with a couple of signings, we still have a relatively small budget, and don't want to over-inflate my expectations, only to be let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom22709 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Depends on the recruitment in the summer, if we can get lita plus another striker, ebanks-blake/simeon Jackson, plus 2 good centre mids and a good winger then I'd fancy us for a playoff push. If not and our starting 11 consists of the likes of coke, prutton, Howard, llera etc then I'd expect lower half at best. Nothing against the above just need better to progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't see MM spending big. Not sure where we will finish, can't really say at this stage and we don't fully know who will be coming in or going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggytheowl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Obviously we have to see who comes and goes but atm I have us down as 11th, more to do with not rating some of the other teams in the league next season tho rather than rating us entirely.

BarnOwl55 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Not a great deal of optimism here at the moment. Naturally it depends on who comes in - indeed who signs a new contract first! But given a good return on the latter and three decent signings then I would think we would be capable of being in with a shout of the play-offs. That would keep the season exciting and if it ultimately means a top 10 finish, what a good season it will have been. I'm certain we will improve on last season - onwards and upwards, eh?

SWFC_Liam Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hopefully we see progression, more of a settled squad of our own players and not as close to the drop zone this season. Can't see the Championship being as crazy next season so a solid 10th-14th place would be a good step forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Given the advent of FFP next season and the fact that we are in fairly sound financial shape I fully expect us to be in the top 10. Clubs that I expect to struggle and finish below us due to FFP or internal problems are: Yeovil, Bournemouth, Doncaster, Barnsley, Blackpool, Millwall, Blackburn, Middlesborough, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Birmingham, Charlton and Watford (if they don't go up). QPR are a financial disaster and despite parachute payments I think could do a Wolves and who knows how Brighton will react to the loss of Poyet (and as a result half their team).

Guest Lawrie Maddens Hump Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd like to think that we'll be top six material next season. But, who knows?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
