    I mean in terms of success.

    Minimum for me is to finish 12th/13th, and go out fighting properly in one of the cups. I'd like us to get to the quater finals at least, or perhaps the semi's and give it a proper go.

    Last season was shocking and depressing in terms of cups. If we had have played a full strength team we could have raped that Arsenal side, and then had a moderately easy road to Wembley.

    We lost to Stevenage because the team showed lack of respect and awareness for their ability. They're in the lower leagues for a reason, but we should all know by now that teams like this will be fighting for their lives for a win.

    In my opinion, if we face a team like Stevenage late on we should play a team with a load of kids, and a few experienced players. Kids or reserve type players like Raylor will always try because they are fighting for a place and play every game with effort. Our strongest team acted like snobs and ****ed about because they thought it would be a picnic.

    I'd be happy with 12th and Quater finals of the cup, or a crappy cup and 10th place. I don't think we will be threatened with relegation.

    If we sign a decent striker to partner Ba, we have the midfield to supply them. All we need now is another striker of decent quality and i see no reason for us not to finish in a strong position next year.

    10th is my personal aim, but i'll be happy enough with lower than that if he go on a decent cup run.

    As long as we are no where near relegation like this season, and we don't sell any more top players, I will be satisfied.

    Minimum for me really is 10th, we really should of finished 9th last season so if we finished bottom half again I would be disappointed.

    Even if we do not sign another strike I would still think we should finished top half (so long as we have no major injuries) because Ba has pretty much scored 1 in 2 everywhere he has played and we have one of the best midfields in the league so there should be no reason why he should not carry on his 1 in 2 scoring ratio with us.

    Minimum? 14th and a decent cup run but obviously I'd expect us to finish a little higher than that.

    I'll be dissapointed if we don't get a top 10 finish.

    9th would be great seeing as what's happened this summer - rumours of a mass exodus - and a cup run

    I'd be disappointed if we don't spend 35m, win the fa cup, the league cup and finish at very least 2nd because that's what we deserve!!!!!

    Victories against the Mackems and the Bin-Dippers also are a must, irrespective of final position.

    11th or higher. As far, or further in cups than last year. So long as we keep improving each year, I'm happy, and satisfied that Ashley either isn't as incompetent as we think, or is pretty lucky.

    Purely because I miss the days of us being 'deluded'; title challenge, beautiful football in every game, at least 1 cup win and fat sam to disappear up his own arse

    So many of HMT's threads turn into newsnow articles its scary.

    Minimum? Considering all the crap we've had to put up with this summer I'd accept 14th and a decent cup run. If we get knocked out the cups early than I'd want 12th as minimum.
