ABSOLUTELY General!! I’ve NEVER wavered from my initial prediction. MASSIVE credit to SW/DF and his coaches As I think it was FML said in the last week #gottalovethatman PS - mustn't forget our very own match day mascot DD!!!
Reading this thread from the beginning is brilliant. It shows how we’ve increased in positivity and hope steadily since September
We're rapidly approaching 50% who feel we will score > 80 goals this season. My prediction from November -
I never changed my original estimate of 66-69, which I thought was optimistic before the season began!
Similar to how the 'How long do we give him' thread gets resurrected periodically (but not recently thank god), should this one be revamped too?
I think it warrents a new thread all of its own when we get nearer the season. Given our significantly decreased number of fixtures and tougher division, we might want to extend the range downwards a tad. Only one side outside the top 6 managed more than 55 goals (Bournemouth with 56) last season. As we will no doubt hit the top six no problems it's worth looking at that too, only 3 exceeded 70, with only the top two exceeding 80. The lowest in the top 6 was 63 from Chelski. With all that in mind I will go for a somewhat optimistic 56-60 working to a 1.5 per game average (Subject to review if we lost Pukki for example). Bah!
Thanks General and a new version will be available in a few days and the highest will be >60 and that's being optimistic!!!!
