Where do you predict we'll finish next season?

[trousers]

I went for top this season. Going for 8th next season.

 

COYR!

[Ewell]

I will go with Dalek's magical 17th and that will do for me.

[Dr Who?]

12th

[ToreSF]

Between 8th and 15th.

[doddisalegend]

Bit early to tell until I've seen what we do transfer wise over the summer. Whatever I'm going to have low expectations Norwich lay 13th in the table and that's a successful season by all accounts.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

2nd.

[Professor]

Really unpredictable until we see the additions to the squad. I could see 6 or 7 of our present first 11 playing in a top half team, but my feeling is they will need 3 or 4 quality players with Prem or international experience to move things up a little.

[Avenue Saint]

6th!

[Dr Who?]

2nd.

 

I would settle for a hat-trick of 2nd places.

[Sheaf Saint]

I will go with Dalek's magical 17th and that will do for me.

 

Aaaah, that was it all along. He was a year ahead of the rest of us!

[aintforever]

11th

[Dalek2003]

The next few months are for strengthening the squad. I will make make prediction when I see the outcome of this, about August time.

 

Unlike last year we need to be more decisive in the transfer market, instead of dilly dallying.

 

Hopefully the planning has already started !

[stev2001]

13th

[Dalek2003]

Between 8th and 15th.

 

Call that a prediction......breaks the trades description act !

[scotty]

Call that a prediction......breaks the trades description act !

 

 

Go on then, say it!! You know you're dying to. Spit it out man.

[Surman4no7shirt]

2nd

[Legod Third Coming]

4th

[andysstuff]

As long as we aren't below 17th it's alright with me.

[Pugwash]

10th

[Glasgow_Saint]

17th

[Sheaf Saint]

Provided we can bring in 3 or 4 quality additions then with the nucleus we already have and the incredible management skills of NA I don't see any reason we can't finish comfortably mid-table. So I'm going to go for 13th.

[alpine_saint]

I went for top this season. Going for 8th next season.

 

COYR!

 

How can we make a reasonable prediction of this until we know what the squad looks like ???

[Saintjersey]

14th and a nice little cup run.

[Kingsbridge Saint]

14th and a nice little cup run.

 

just about to go for that myself

[saintmatt]

How can we make a reasonable prediction of this until we know what the squad looks like ???

 

Based on what we know about our owners' backing, our chairman's ambition and our manager's ability?

[DJ_TOAST]

1st...although probably just miss out again and have to settle for 2nd. :/

[farawaysaint]

14th, there are some really awful teams in the prem, we should be able to pick up points against the likes of the Baggies, Fulham and Stoke, sadly there are also some very very good teams up here O.o Bricking it a little actually after looking at the prem table just now I've forgotten what it's like to be a small fish in a big pond.

[Kingsland Red]

Nigel only does 2nd, and I'd take that right now !

[S-Clarke]

Hard to say without additions to the squad, let's be honest - Norwich and Swansea have raised the bar so expectation will be higher straight away.

 

Let's see the calbire of players we're linked with before making predictions.

[ottery st mary]

CHAMPIONS

 

In 7th place..

[CB Saint]

As long as it isn't 18th, 19th or 20th, I don't give a monkeys

[Spudders]

1st...although probably just miss out again and have to settle for 2nd. :/

I guess I'd take that disappointment of missing out on 1st again.

[dickyhale]

10th

 

Same l live number 10 so a good shout COYR....

[badgerx16]

We will be mathematically safe with 2 games to play, and finish lower mid table - no higher than 12th, no lower than 14th.

[sperm_john]

fancy that cortese will be up for it, we will sign a few players, probably from leagues outside the UK, kelvin will want to go out on a high, lambert will be up for the challenge, im gonna plump for 4th, ambitious lol

[The Cat]

How can we make a reasonable prediction of this until we know what the squad looks like ???

 

In the same way we can make comments about matches we haven't seen.

[The Cat]

Oh and I predict 14th.

[sussexsaint]

6th

[Lighthouse]

14th for me too. Don't know why, I can feel it in me waters.

[SuperMikey]

I would love anywhere between 10th-15th. Personally i'm going to go for 12th.

[Monk]

14th. Think we will go on a cup run.

[Colinjb]

17th of course.

[Jack]

Nailed on runners up!

 

Or 12th

[Whitey Grandad]

I really don't have a clue.

[tpbury]

As was mentioned somewhere else, the dross teams are being shifted out - they must be coz Norwich, Swansea and poss QPR are staying up. That means less dross to gather points from. Therefore - 1st!!!

[Sour Mash]

15th.

[Orange]

Not even thinking about that yet, just enjoying going up.

[Rusaldo]

15th and a decent run in both cups.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Hopefully the belief will be with the team, however two things concern me - (a) We did not finish the season confidentally and spluttered across the finish line...(b) the pace in the Prem in even some of the relegated teams is frighteningly quick and my view is we're too flat-footed...e.g. can you remember a goal that was scored on the break this season? We could get trounced by teams that have almost all the whole squad made up of guys that are as capable as Lallana or better.

 

I will be delighted to find us in a position any higher than 18th to be honest until Nigel has time to assess the team and what he's up against. That will not stop the hope and belief being there, but realistically there's a significant gulf between our squad and those at the top of the Prem at the moment.

[Leslie Charteris]

40+ points with four games to go, that would be OK for the first season, whatever position that leaves us it should mean that people won't be whistling the theme from the Great Escape during the last few matches!
