Superior Acuña Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I went for 12th. A strangely popular choice given the distribution of votes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 14th. We'll float around the bottom ten all season and look comfortable from the drop about mid April. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 10th IMO. There's fuck all between 8th and about 15th most years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Went 11th. Could end up anywhere outside the top 7 like. Fully dependant on whether we get a couple of proper signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think 10-13 is realistic. I'm mostly concerned about consolidation this season and being in the Prem again next season to kick on. Like people have mentioned on here before, to a lot of these young exciting players that we're going to want to sign, we're a yo-yo club having spent two of the last eight or so seasons in the Championship. We don't carry the weight we used to, even with Rafa. After a solid campaign in the Prem this season, our sights for the 18/19 season can be set higher and our recruitment can also step it up a notch too.

Elric Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 With this squad, in its current state (Murphy, Manquillo included), voted 18th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 12th after a long season of shite and a recovery at the end, and there's 12th after playing alright and being quite stable. As long as I can enjoy the season a bit I don't care that much about specific positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 11th and with our business so far I think that is a fair position. :lol: Far too positive, alcohol doth not agree with me, as I was expecting at least an effort to strengthen the spine: 15th at best now and genuine fears creeping in. With Rafa obviously. Season of stabilisation and reaffirmation in the top league. Too many sides have a head start on us to look at anything top 10 imo.

Bimpy474 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 10th, splinters in my arse sitting on this fence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 So the same people on the transfer speculation page that are crying about us being relegated with our shitty squad are saying we'll finish somewhere between 6th and 8th ? If we finish in the top 12 we'll have had a decent season. Rafa will want more though so if the squad are capable of finishing higher that's what we'll do.

Stifler Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 As it stands 14th I'd say would be a reasonable forecast. As it's been said though, anywhere below Everton to the relegation places is pretty much going to be a pick and mix with no real difference between the teams.

afar Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Analysing the competition here, if we finish ahead of any of last season's top 7 (and one of them doesn't somehow have a implosion of a season) then we've had a remarkable season. Last year honestly any of the bottom three could have finished 8th or lower, so little to chose between them, so even finishing 8th or 9th would be par for us. Rafa's too good a manager to have us embroiled in a relegation battle, don't care if the mackems mock us for faith in the "manager that sent us down", but as long as he's around we will be safe with whatever squad we take into the season. Hopefully today's transfer news is just the start of a busy period for us and we get in the 4 or 5 players we still need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 10th-14th. So I voted 12th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 All I'm hoping for this season is survival being confirmed with some games to spare. No last day relegation nerves and another summer to build a top ten side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
