    I think we'll finish mid table again. Hope I'm wrong!

    Have to agree with Irish. I don't think we'll get higher than 7th. Would be delighted with playoffs

    Top 6 must be the minimum target and I don't see 6 other teams this season better managed than us. We all know the favourites and two of them should get the auto spots - but you never know.

    Every team hits a bad patch sometime through the season and it's how quickly you can get out of it that sorts the men from the boys. We are better equipped than ever with Warnock at the helm and a potentially very good squad at his disposal.

    If we can get a decent start to the season and some momentum going rather than playing catch up all the time we could surprise a few.

    I'll say for the sake of this poll 3rd to 6th but I'm going to have a sneaky wager on the side to pinch an auto spot out of the blue.

    EDIT........just had a look and we're only 11/4 to finish top 6 but 14/1 to finish top 2 - just stuck a tenner on a top 2 - I expect to collect my £150 in May....<whistle>

    Just don't have that bit of extra quality in midfield and out wide that other clubs have plus a lack of depth up top.Even with our manager I just can't see higher than 8-9th.

    Always think the best early doors so I've gone for 3rd - 6th with another trip to Wembley.

    How can you programme in a bad referee decision or an astute substitution by a manager that changes a game?

    How can you quantify a deflection off a defenders arse that puts the ball past their own keeper?

    There may be an essence of the expectation levels about certain teams, but for the most part it's absolute bollucks dressed up as scientific analysis.

    I'll stick to gut feeling - and then I'll probably be way out anyway....<laugh>
