merlin Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not worth voting yet - time to do that is around October, when we will have a good idea just where the club is going this season...Pardew could also be on the way out by then and that would make a difference to everyone's vote.

Pilko Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Right now 2.5; whilst the injuries excuse was overplayed last year, we did have a fair few and although I don't think we will pull up many trees we should be comfortable in 12th or so. Hopefully Downey can work her magic and keep the likes of HBA fit, depending on the quality of the promoted teams etc we could even sneak top half. We will see.

Dave Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 2 if pardew lasts, 8 if JFK takes over at any point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'll start at four. We have a good squad (apart from depth up front) and a terrible manager. That should be enough but having seen the depth of our shiteness last year, I know we're capable of outdoing ourselves and our squad looking as talented as Matty Pattison. It's a plausible outcome from the outset for me though, and I hope we can put points on the board/have some early season momentum as soon as possible.

womblemaster Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 amin a foul mood, so voted 9 probably manage the dizzy heights of 14th again... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 2 is too low for Pardew, look how bad we were last season. But because of the season before that I'd say it's 50/50. 5 for Pardew and 10 if Kinnear takes over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 5. Think its about 50/50 atm, Hull & Palace are surely down, I think Cardiff have a chance of staying up therefore we are relying on Sunderland, Stoke or Norwich to have a poor season to take that final spot.

Ketsbaia Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 A solid 3. We shouldn't go down, we have an excellent selection of players. But we did last season too and look what happened We can see the disaster that's around the corner, so it's just a matter of 'wait and see'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Monday night should be fun in this thread I'm going for at least 8 people posting '11!'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'm not even going to bother with Monday, I'm depressed enough with the team without watching us getting hammered in the first game. The season starts next weekend for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 With Pardew 6, with a decent replacement 2, with Kinnear as manager 7 or 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That's the thing, Pardew took a side with more goals in it to 16th last season. He's very capable of taking us down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we'll bring in a forward and not having Europe will allow him a full week to stop the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Took quite a bit of consolation from seeing Palace and Hull this afternoon. Pretty sure they'll be 2 of the 3 who drop, they looked awful albeit playing/losing to good teams in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 From the little I saw of Palace they looked pretty clueless. Hull passed it about alright second half against Chelsea, though for both teams the problem will be scoring as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We won't go down because of how bad the promoted teams are, but i'm not expecting much more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexthegreat Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I didn't think we were too bad last season after the new signings came in. 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 defeats is the sort of form that will normally see you finish around 8th or 9th, and we had 3 good ties in Europe as well. Although 2 of the defeats were as bad as any I've seen. Those new signings have been here 8 months now, and I'm expecting big improvements from Debuchy and Mbiwa. Also expecting someof our big players (Colo, Cisse, and Cabaye) to show far more form and fitness than last year. If that happens and we can add a striker to what we have then we will be absolutely nowhere near it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We are better off than we were this time last season imo. I got slated for saying similar last summer but I believe it so will say it again, our youngsters/new signings will have had that extra development/time to adapt to the league so SHOULD be better this season. We still need 2-3 players but I don't think we will get relegated as it stands. If we get a fair amount of injuries we SHOULD quite easily get top 10.
