    Mid table - expecting a slow start but then to improve as the season goes on.

    We'll finish 9th if I had to guess.

    Instinctively I thought mid table but looking back on our recent history we've been force fed spoonfuls of **** so I would not be surprised if we're right down at the bottom of the table. If it can go wrong, it will.

    11th would do me, anything from 6-10th would be a bonus, think our manager will certainly earn his wages this season.

    Relegation battle initially but we'll pull away as the season draws on and finish lower mid table I reckon.

    1. I think we are going to struggle big time, the demise of our club is phenomenal, I will actually be surprised if we are not in another relegation battle, I hope I'm wrong and that we do some serious business in the window before it shuts, I'm a very concerned supporter at the minute, this squad is not good enough to compete at the top of that league, unfortunately I can't see us getting much from the first 6 games

      As I said I hope I'm wrong

    I reckon a big struggle till Christmas then we'll really take off, may even get to playoffs.
    I think our opening 5 or 6 games are really difficult introduction to the championship and we may not get a 1st win till after these.

    Mid table, but with a hope (not expectation) that we'll reach the playoffs.

    A ****e start, a good run of games then a mediocre finish.

    I only hope a few young-un's will shine through and we eventually become much more together and resilient a squad/team.

    Wemberlyyyy for me. Alot rides on Watmore getting fit, I reckon he will be a main player for us once fit and raring to go.

    If he's the same player before injury agreed totally - long way back from this kind of injury though.

    Might not see him 100% till Christmas time.

    I agree Watmore can and should be a beast in this league.

    Saturday was a massive reality check.

    It's hard to see anything other than a season of struggle near the bottom.

    Attendance will be sub 20k on Friday night and Derby will be licking their lips.

    The club is ****ed till Short is gone in my opinion.

    When you think things cant get any worse, they get worse, then they get worse again. With the players that we have right now, I would expect mid table, but generating confidence is important and if we don't nick a win or two in the first half dozen games it wouldnt surprise me if we are totally unable to stop the slide and we plummet near the bottom. What I am pretty confident wont happen is that we may surprise everybody and get off to a flyer. We are bound to give everyone at least an 8 game head start....its tradition.

    Mid table.

    Along the way it`ll be a few wins, heading for promotion, Grayson`s brilliant. A few losses, the depths of doom and gloom, Grayson`s ****e get rid.

    The usual stuff.
