What is your expectation and wish for City?

[CosbehFox]

Simple question. 

 

Where do you expect City to finish this season? What would consist of a good season for you? 

 

The idea is not challenge someones opinion here but it would be a good indication of what our fan base views as a successful season.

I think we'll be top 7. I think top half is okay.

[tickler28]

Nice to get 3 wins in a row at some point...scrap out some draws vs the big boys...finish top 8...make a challenge for Europe and get to a semi final at least would be my expectation.

To be competitive in the top flight and if we win some trophies now and again, that would be nice.

 

To support a team that just steamrollers everyone would be boring.

[Mark_w]

To go for both cups, stay up and not bore me to tears.

[Nalis]

Expectation: Around 10th. As many have said though its hard to say where we are this season as we've lost games we deserved more from and won games we could easily have lost. Out of League Cup and FA Cup by the Quarters 

 

Realistic Wishes: 7th and an FA Cup win though even that depends on a fortunate draw. 

 

 

[Milo]

Top 10 - with some sort of visible progression regarding the style of play.

  

[Hitesh]

Top half, good performances and 2 good cup runs! 

[Corky]

To achieve around 8-10 more points than last season and hopefully reach a semi-final of one of the cups.

 

Positions can vary, points total is a better indication of progress.

[davieG]

No expectation been watching them for too long to expect anything.

Wish to win the FA Cup and finish top.

Above all to see some exciting football.

[winteriscoming]

Look at finishing in the top 10. Improve with our points tally from last season. Imo we are a mid table side. 

[chapero82]

Top 10 and to start playing before we go 2-0 down  

[Dan]

Progression in different aspects of the game. I've so far not seen it.

[cropstonfox]

Win the FA cup and stop up and play some exciting football on the front foot.

[StriderHiryu]

We should be finishing in the top half. I’d like to see more attacking football and becoming a more technical team but given our youngsters expect inconsistency. As long as I see progression on and off the pitch and a team that has a go I’m more than satisfied. We should be battling for top 10 and getting nowhere near a relegation scrap. 

 

I think out attacking play has improved a lot already, though sadly those cracks at the back if anything look worse! I can’t make up my mind if we are really close to being a good team or really close to being a struggling team! I hope it’s the former!

[foxfanazer]

Top 9 and a cup final would be a solid season. More importantly for me is developing and integrating young players into the side. We’re all acting like we’re in crisis when that simply isn’t the case

This is the correct answer.

Wot he sed

8-14th. I think the owners are happy with mediocrity as long as we’re safe due to the training ground and stadium expansion investment.

 

“Cup run” or “cup final” is bullshit, we had “good cup runs” last season and most were unhappy with them. Only winning one matters

As long as they're making their money.

Top half

 

It's been said so many times on here already but a reminder is needed: Winning the league spoilt us and distorted the expectations of so many fans.

 

We're having the sort of season you would expect of Leicester City. We won't go down, we won't finish in the top 6. So for me, a top half finish and a decent cup run and I'd be happy.

[Ross-Kemp]

After a transitional transfer window where we lost our most exciting attacking talent in history, an indifferent pre-season and a youthful looking team - my expectations were and remain top 10 and for us to make a decent fist of both cups.

 

 

[VLC86]

For me this is impossible to predict. We have won 2 games we shouldn’t have and lost 2 we should have got something from which worries me a little bit.

 

I know yesterday is an extreme example but in a game we could have been winning we went in 3-0 down which tells you we probably aren’t going to nick many 1-0 wins.

 

Puels record after the first 10 games is borderline relegation, I buy into what he’s trying to do but some of his methods are bizarre and probably the funniest thing to happen yesterday was his tactic to settle for a 4-0 loss and even that didn’t go to plan

Mediocrity? I don’t think you know the meaning of the word. Levein, Kelly, Worthington, Allen, Megson, Holloway slowly slipping out of the second tier for the first time in our history without as much as a whimper.

 

The fact we are even in the conversation for a European place and realistically talking about winning cups is testament to the success and ambition brought to the club by the owners.

 

They have deliberately picked a manager with a philosophy of promoting youth, spent a lot of money on the academy and facilities and building up the infrastructure of the club not to mention backing the manager in the transfer market. 

 

As for my my expectations and wishes, all I want is to see us give everything in every game results won’t always go our way but as long as we have the effort and application coupled with the talent we have I expect us to finish mid table and with a bit of luck push for another European adventure.

[coolhandfox]

I think what we have achieved last season is realistic.

 

However along the way, I'd like us to play attractive attacking football and be fun to watch. 

 

I'm not sure the owners want to spend enough to make us anymore than what we are.
