They probably have us where people expect us, and if the approach on the pitch leads to more entertainment, whilst disappointed, I don't think too many would judge Hurst on 15th in his first season.

Subject to us signing at least another CB, and attacking option (subject to Waghorn leaving), I don't see us anywhere near the bottom 3.

Got us finishing 23rd. Whilst i think we will struggle again this season i think we will finish somewhere between 15-20th

Be disappointed with 17th, hoping for a top half finish.

Expect a lot of 1-0 away wins, Paul Hurst is the master of them, get an early goal then shut up shop.
His biggest Achilles heel is finding a way to beat teams at home that park the bus, doesn’t have a plan B unfortunately. Obviously a bit different scenarios though to breaking down teams like Nuneaton and Boreham Wood as opposed to Leeds and Boro!

They’ve got us too high. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see one of the bigger clubs who have been stuck on this league for years finally make it into the top two. Forest or dare I say it...Leeds. It’s tough to call this year but that makes it exciting.

What’s wrong with that prediction? Brentford have one of the best squads in the division and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them in the top 2..

Add another striker and I fancy us to give it a go.

This isn’t sky’s predictions, this was done by the lads on “not the top 20 podcast” which is a great listen. They’ve got us 5th which I would obviously love but can’t see it

Personally, I think this is a load of crap but here are their predictions.

No way will we finish 7th.

http://www.skysports.com/football/n...on-where-will-the-24-clubs-finish-this-season

Good read that and I agree with most of it. Can deffo see Brentford and PNE doing well.

If we want to finish that high up though, we'll need to win our first 20 games or something so we have enough points once the LJ post Christmas slump sets in.

Might see you about on Saturday!

Better than the turd Sky usually put out, you should do one for Leagues One and Two as well!

Thanks Liam, I'm intending on doing those over the next couple of days, so feel free to pop back to the site! :cool1:

Seems a decent place to shamelessly plug my blog seeing as I've done a Championship preview...!

Don't really agree with your first paragraph. We weren't the favourites for the title, most bookies had us 7th or 8th favourites infact. I'd also argue we were better to watch than Fulham, we pissed all over them in the first half of the season. If we were more clinical we could and should have put 6 past them at Molineux.

That's fair enough, but I wasn't just referring to the bookies - think more or less everyone had you down as likely promotees.

Fulham just seem to be well liked in most quarters, and a lot of people were very happy for them to be successful last season!

I of course think it is a load of rubbish and complete crap. I shall revisit this in around April time :)
