Next Season

For some reason (don't ask me why) I have a feeling we could surprise a lot of people this season, but for the right reasons this time!  The fact Ollie locked them in at Norwich after the final day for over an hour and a half shows that he's not going to accept anything less than 100% this season.  Start well and take it from there.  I can see us finishing in the top half but falling just short of the play-offs

With all the new early signings we have made, I feel very confident that we can achieve a lower mid-table position or at least a mid lower-table position this season.

Its always good to start the season with a little positivity and yes a little optimism as well. We are all looking forward to it aren't we? Aren't we!! (Pay attention at the back). We've supported this club for most of our lives and probably will do for the rest of our lives as well. So wherever we are or whatever division we are in I'll still turn up to watch the club I love. Lets just say the players were getting to know each other last year, a few youngsters settling in, isn't that what we wanted, stability. We've got rid of the parasites and high earners, again what we wanted, add a couple more to the mix and then we just need the players we have to gel a little and for them to play as a team rather than individuals. Sure, if we have another poor season I'll be disappointed and upset like all of the fans and probably moan a bit as well but meanwhile will enjoy what is to come.

Exactly! I feel we will do better than last season but how better depends upon whether we get in a better RB, another CB, and a decent striker, plus retain Smithies. If all goes well we should be looking for a finish in the top 12, in what looks to become an even tougher Championship than normal...

Hardly a bold prediction to say we won't finish in the top 12! Rather broad.

It's like predicting Man City will finish in the Top 10, it isn't really a prediction!

I think we all know we are lower half of the table material this season and just hoping to avoid a relegation battle!

It it doesn't matter if we do end up in a relegation battle as long as we win it!

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see us have a difficult season (just like the rest of us) but this summer has been poor.  Yes we're still in July and anything can happen but nothing so far has given me optimism that something special will come out of the works.  If we do end up having a difficult season but still end up a Championship club as a result then I'll consider that a win at the end of it.

But having said that, Huddersfield fans were saying the exact same as us 12 months ago and look what happened to them!

     this is why we will struggle
our strikers scored only 21 goals all season
