Tbh a nice comfortable 8-12th finish will be a decent enough season, i think we gave ourselves to much to achieve in the second half of the season, even more so with other teams games in hand. But this division is so hard to tell, as there are so many teams that are pretty average yet still up there.
Im going with 9th. Think we will push hard for playoffs but not quite make it.... but then i am a pessamist.
7th to 10th would do me. Do not think that we would be best served going up this year and not sure what losing in the play-offs would do phsycologically. Therefore I will be very happy with a place just outside the top 6, give NP a share of the next parachute payment and some of the wages that we will free up at the end of this season and let him complete his rebuilding work. Then next season could see a real tilt for the automatics, never mind this play-off lottery.
Sneak into playoffs I reckon. We are close enough right now, just need to keep plodding along and make a last minute dart into them.
Geodie_Tiger: Yes I have, cheers. My team is Mauled by the Tigers. Hoping my Man U trio can get some big points tonight as I am having a terrible season. Going really well in the Texaco Championship one though.
Im on the Texaco one aswell but dont ever check it! nice one... i have Berba as captain so another Hat trcik will do nicely !!!coupled with an Al Habsi MotM type game !!
I'd like to think we would be in the play-offs, but I can't see it. For me QPR, Cardiff, Notts Forest, Swansea, Norwich and dare I say it, Leeds will all finish above us. I'll go 9th
My sentiments exactly. Would love to do a west brom for a couple of seasons. Boing boing and all that.
Ill go 6th, wish we had started the season better but I suppose we were bogged down in uncertainty, Leeds to choke I reckon
I think we will make the play offs and beat Leeds at Wembley 2-1 with Matty scoring the winner. Ok, I would love it but maybe 10th ish. But next season it will happen..
so long as we finish above TWS. i see a repeat of 2007 occuring here, but can't help thinking it would be too soon for the dizzy heights of EPL, especially when we have so many loanees right now. but hey lets enjoy ride!!!
We have to the players to win this league, but unfortunately we can't seem to turn what is a class squad on paper into a competitive promotion side. I think mid-table.
