Expectations for the season

[blue to the bone]

If we hit 40 points on the 34th game, then we'd have been in a relegation 'battle'

Not necessarily for me.
If the bottom 3 don't pass 25 we won't really..the 2 previous seasons were.

If we hit 40 points on the 34th game, then we'd have been in a relegation 'battle'

But also means there should be a few teams below us to be in worse danger.

Let's be honest
It's another season of survival
To get to BMD in the Prem and not the Championship

 

[ETID]

Mid table boredom would be bliss

12th to 15th and hopefully score more goals than last season.

I think it'll depend a lot on what injuries happen and when. We're a bit light on depth and I feel we could have some bigger struggles than other teams if injuries start hitting us at the wrong positions.

That said, I think the squad is stronger and we could be very well end up mid table if things go well. I don't think we'll be in a relegation fight this year, although I'll be worried about it until we're mathematically safe.

Without another points deduction I expect us to be top of the bottom half. Very safe

Young to get a contract extension

12th to 15th. Need for either or Ndiaye and Lindstrom to contribute to the goal tally. I would like a cup run and to see the likes of Dixon and Armstrong given some game time. O Brien to become a key player

 

[Nymzee]

Never seen either kick a ball but N'Diaye/Lindstrom can't be worse than Danjuma.

Be surprised if Iroegbunam is as good as Onana.

Not sure how much O'Brien will play with Branthwaite and Tarkowski but at least any centre half injury now doesn't mean Holgate or Keane,.

We were very fortunate last season with no real injuries.

I think the bookies are spot on with their assessment - they have Leciester (point deducion), Ipswich, Southampton favourites, with Forest/us level.

We're in the mix. We've got no depth. I think we're the slowest team in the league and we're relying on N'Diaye/Lindstrom to make the difference.

You're kinda ruining your own point here when you seem to suggest the squad is worse this season?

Ndiaye & Lindstrom can't be worse than Danjum = net positive for the season.

Tim has been as a good, if not better, than Onana so far = net positive for the season.

You are seeing Keane and Holgate = manager's fault not O'Brien's.

We have more tools this year; they're just locked away in the cupboard and Dyche has swallowed the key.
