No idea until we sign some players

[W.cramp]

See where we are in 4 or so weeks, when we have signed haaland,kane,Salah,gundogan and Kyle Walker.   (A list that would still not make some of our lot happy)

Gundogan off to Barcelona, missed a trick there didn't we.  Was talking about this today at work, until at least December I wouldn't have a pot of glue who is doing what...

I’m sticking with this

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Despite Reading being down the bottom end and Stevenage near the top?

Your top teams have been pretty accurate though.

Aye, I was a long way off with those two.

Can’t see Barnsley making the automatics, I think it will be ourselves and Derby with Pompey, Tykes, Blackpool and Posh making up the play off spots. Frankly couldn’t give a monkeys who goes down as long as Wigan are one of them.

To be fair- any one of a number could get top 2. Very close.

Between Derby, Pompey, Barnsley, Posh and Us for to two at the moment. Oxford and Stevenage may get in playoff but no chance of automatic.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Agree on Oxford, but Stevenage had a bit of a wobble and have nevertheless maintained a presence. 

I reckon they'll make the playoffs.

League 1 predictions 24/25 season .

 

 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Read the article, and the chances of us winning the league came out significantly higher for us than anyone else.

48% of the permutations gave it to us. 

All a bit strange, but let's hope it's true.

7th for Rotherham makes me question the super computer immediately. They'll be a big threat this season

[TM Trotter]

Interesting , that's the first prediction table I've seen that puts us above moneybags Birmingham.

Although, we came very close last season, are improving the squad smartly to fit alongside the a core group - while Birmingham have spent big, it is a lot of new players to 'bed in' to a group of players accustomed to losing.

As an aside, I cant see Stockport or Charlton finishing that low - I think both will provide serious competition around the top 6.

the super computer doesn't take into account our weak as piss mentality either

It might have been said on here before - but i get the impression bringing in Arfield is to help with exactly this.

I could be wrong, he might be completely spineless. But I see the logic in getting an experienced, vocal presence who can actually play (sorry Cameron, that was never you).

It will take into account previous results- bad ones that happened because of that weakness.

starting to feel confident

few more signings and it's HMS Piss The League time again

will revisit this the day after the window shuts and we have a few games under our belts

[waffer cup 07]

To early to say, but throwing money at it like Brum is no guarantee.

theres no reason other than some massive hangover why we won't be near the top

i do see a few early banana skins though

for example, saturday and wrexham could see us p2, l2

am the opposite

can see us winning them both

won't be mad if we don't

so long as the performance is there and we don't witness so much what we saw so many times last season, if, it turns out the opposition want to play too

I agree (and not wanting to turn this into another Wrexham thread!), not sure why Wrexham could realistically be a defeat.  Since we last lost here in the EFL (which was with 10 men), Wrexham have lost at Walsall, Newport, Salford, Gillingham and Doncaster.   If we lose our 1st two, with harder fixtures to come, blimey.

If we lose the first two, why would that mean tougher ones are to come?

Maybe those first two might turn out to be very good.
