Watching mist of their predictions for where we will finish at the end of the season most of them have us finishing around 20th with 1 or 2 having us around 15th place.

I have to say they are underestimating our squad but I don't getting why the majority of our fans think we are going to make the playoffs? We are still lacking goals and the defence is no better than last season and we struggled to keep clean sheets then, if we finish around 10th place then that will have been a good season.

Would say our attack is slightly better and the defence is looking decent.

But all fans have optimism in pre season, nothing wrong with that.

We won’t really know what sort of state we’re in until ten games in.

We were underestimated last season and this season I think a few of the teams being tipped to do well are being overestimated.

Always pussled me why or how so called pundits give such opinions when clubs haven't completed their sighnings? They're Clubs ranked higher than us yet hardly made signing! We finished 12th with
depleted squad and we've improved squad this season yet got us finishing bottom 6!! Really should have eve of season predictions day before season starts.

We are always judged to be down the bottom by the youtube/tiktok people, regardless of if it is justified or not.

Nowhere near the end of the window yet so there's a lot of business yet to be done in the championship so it's really too early to say.

My optimism comes from the signings we have made so far, and the evident push to a more attacking style of football.

I think the more attacking football will catch a few teams out. They will expect the same defensive backwards play as last year.

Easier league than last year.
We have a stronger team. And still expanding.
Top 6.

With what they had to go on after yesterday they are probably not far of the mark.

But I belive our newbies will improve us a lot, just hope we not to far off by the time they fully fit.
