ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Yeah definitely, just with form a bit more evenly spaced out!
Kitchandro Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Yes. I'd like us to avoid a scrap, that would be progress I feel. As long as we finish above the bottom 3 we need to be focusing on the cups.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 31 May 2015 Author Posted 31 May 2015 I'm with Hackney. I really want us to push on following the fantastic finish of last season. I'd like us to progress in a cup competition for sure. A lot of people compare Pearson favourably with MON. I don't think O'Neil ever finished lower than 10th? with City. So let's emulate that, at least. I'd like some quality additions and a really good season next term. I agree up to a point, Col, but if we finish 14th again, it will demonstrate that we have "bedded in," and then can work our way higher, in the season's to come.
ScouseFox Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 i'd take 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th. anything that doesn't involve us being relegated. i'd also happily take an exact copy of this season. yes the middle was completely depressing but the last 2 months or so has been the most fun, on and off the pitch, i've ever had supporting us. if being crap for a bit means we all rally round and make every game so much more fun than finishing mid table then i'd take being crap for a bit.
hackneyfox Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 If we struggle to stay up then it will be more difficult to attract decent players. We need to be looking for a mid table finish and then hope to kick on and look for a european position the following season. I know I'm expecting too much but there's no point in being a football fan if you don't have hope and expectations.
Jattdogg Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 I think we have a good squad capable of staying up next year but i wont say we should expect much more. With a few decent signings i could see us doing about the same or in the 45 point range. Hopefully we can at least make it to a quarter or semi final in a cup.
Big_Nige Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Points total is a bit more important to me. If we improve by say 6 points and get 47 that's progress. If that's good enough for 14th again then fantastic.
Libertine Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Could easily have second season syndrome so definitely yes. Think we'll progress though.
David Hankey Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Personally I'd aim higher at 10th spot. Surely, based on our run in alone we can achieve that and if the squad is strengthened then there is no reason at all why we shouldn't get there.
matty98 Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Can't say i'd be happy with finishing 14th, i'd be content with that, 12th or higher and I'd be happy
Fox42 Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 I'd be happier if we get more points than 41 and finish lower than 14th than getting less than 41 yet finishing higher. The former illustrates progression.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 31 May 2015 Author Posted 31 May 2015 We need to bring in some big quality, but we need it sooner than later, as was the case last year.
fleckneymike Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Some of our players are committed to not finishing first.
shailen Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 I'd love us to finish 12th+, but realistically our aim should be to avoid relegation and then readjust our targets if we achieve that early.
Wymsey Posted 31 May 2015 Posted 31 May 2015 Yes. Shows that we've stablized ourselves from last season (as we finished in this same position) and it would help in the long-term; being like a 'yo-yo' club, that's been different positions doesn't add stability that's needed for a club that wants to progress.
Guest Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 yes but think we can chllenge for a top 10. Villa to go down.
Ollie93 Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Main priority is to stay up, but do it more comfortably, with the results coming spread out over the course of the season.
Finnegan Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Happy? No. Satisfied? Yes, providing we're consistently better all season. I want to see improvement every year so I'd like us to never really be in trouble next season.
Babylon Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 If we struggle to stay up then it will be more difficult to attract decent players. We need to be looking for a mid table finish and then hope to kick on and look for a european position the following season. I know I'm expecting too much but there's no point in being a football fan if you don't have hope and expectations. Having hope is one thing, not being happy with a decent positional finish in only our second year back is another. I'll be frigging over the moon with 14th, because the seriously ridiculous cash kicks in the year after and that after two years of investment will give us an absolutely huge chance of establishing ourselves in the top flight. Those coming up will have the same to spend, but they will be two years behind us in investment and will have probably been sticking to FFP rules of much lower spending. With that extra money we could get in some real top quality.
BoneDog Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 I'd take 14th but hope for top 8 and a cup double. All I don't want is the stress of a relegation battle or dull football.
cullenfox Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 As long as we stay up I'll be happy. I would take 14th next season.
