Hi guys Thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I am currently writing a preview of the championship season for a web site called False10.com. Would just like to know how you feel about the coming season? How do you think your team will do this season? Which of your players do you think will shine this season? Which summer signing has excited you most, if any? What area does your side need strengthening? Out of ten, how likely is your manager to get the sack? Thanks for your help in advance.
Looking forward to it. With all the off the pitch nonsense I just want the kickoff. I think we have a great manager, who is making intelligent signings and I am feeling like we'll have a decent season. With a bit of width and a proven goal scorer it could be a GREAT season. Looking forward to seeing Velikonja play too. Top 6. Whittingham (as always), Kim Bo & Mason in particular. Looking forward to seeing Velikonja play, though I'm not expecting immediate fireworks. Kim bo. Width. Erm. Well, if we're rooted to the bottom: 10/10 if we're top: 0/10. Right now, 0/10 - he is doing a really good job.
Would just like to know how you feel about the coming season? very confident, the squad will be much improved from last year hopefully. How do you think your team will do this season? i think top 4, if we click early and the new signings velokonja and kim bo kjung adapt quickly then we could finish even higher, we have spent more money than last year so i think its fair to expect a higher finish than 6th. Which of your players do you think will shine this season? i hope mason kicks on and scores 20+ goals this season, more pressure on him given millers gone, and second season syndrome... Which summer signing has excited you most, if any? i'd say kim bo kyung, we're led to believe borussia dortmund, celtic, monaco and a PL team were interested so he must have something about him What area does your side need strengthening? wings. Out of ten, how likely is your manager to get the sack? 3
Would just like to know how you feel about the coming season? Pretty optimistic tbh. With some pace now added to the existing core of players, we should hopefully kick on from last season. How do you think your team will do this season? Top 6 + (hopefully autos - sick of the playoffs ) Which of your players do you think will shine this season? Joe Mason set himself standards last year and he will want to match them at a minimum. He proved he can handle big game pressure (Wembley) and now he is out of Kenny Miller's shadow, I think he will shine. Which summer signing has excited you most, if any? Jordan Mutch is a great signing and the 'unknowns' in Etien Velikonja and Kim Bo Kyung look like they can add a new spark to our squad. Time will tell but looking forward to seeing all three. What area does your side need strengthening? We still need an out-and-out winger with pace (or two) and another centre forward. Out of ten, how likely is your manager to get the sack? No manager is truly safe these days. Its going to be a difficult season for Malky following all the off-field activities of the summer. The owners have made their intentions clear so he will be under added pressure to deliver imo. Deliver = 0/10, Dont deliver = 8/10 Thanks for your help in advance.
Really excited, with a year of being together last years squad should all be on the same page. We've added pace which was a huge issue last year and we finished 6th anyway! Top 3 Mason and we can usually depend on whits Kim bo Still need another winger, another striker would be a bonus. Unless he gets us promoted I think Malky will have a big problem. Maybe getting very very close would get him one more year but our owners are spending and they'll expect a tangible improvement on last season, and so do I tbh. Promotion 0/10 failure 9/10
Thanks for the comments lads, trust your be happy with my prediction? http://www.false10.com/2012/08/championship-preview/
Some good reading there. I particularly like your comparisons with Team GB members - Middlesboro especially. How about revisiting this in January and at the season end to see where your predictions are at half way and the finale?
