Stuliasz Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 Right I asked the same question this time last year and I think the answer was mixed between top-half and playoffs. Last season I just went for improvement on our current position and was still left disappointed. This season I'm gonna be a bit more optimistic based on our end of season form and say top half. P.S. I missed off relegation because I don't think anyone would deem this an acceptable finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighton Matt Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 Good question. My heart says play offs. My head says top half would be an achievement and hopefully provide some growth and stability for the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i really hope that we can push for play-off promotion next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman of the Bored Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 There's no point starting a new season with anything other than first position as your goal. Realistic or not that's what LCFC should always strive for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 Playoffs would be acceptable. No way we're going to get there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 Around 7th-9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 10-12th would be a good finish, but 6-7th place would leave me with a grin on my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 To amass 45 points as quickly as possible, preferably in consequtive games, and then I can sit back, relax and hope we make the play-off final at Wembley...WEMBLEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanfox12 Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 There's no point starting a new season with anything other than first position as your goal. Realistic or not that's what LCFC should always strive for. I remember Micky Adams saying we would finish top two when we came back down but look what happened we're still in this division two years on. Just getting out of this division either top two or play offs is what every manager should be striving for in this divison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 We were a couple of points off a top half finish this season, after a relegation fight, so no way will that be acceptable. Rob Kelly has a great spine of young players to build the team around this summer, but he's never signed a player before. A playoff position should be the target, otherwise he's failed. I could settle for a 7th-9th finish as long as we're playing well, but if this is the case we're just going to lose all our young stars, then we'll be in this division for many years ahead.

Coxy Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 I'd say just outside the playoffs, then next season we can go all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 Hoping for play-offs. I think that we have the ability to get there but not sure about confidence. I will be happy with a top 10 finish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phube Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 Top 10, acceptable... Top 6 hopefully... Top 2 dream land!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wils Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 I would hope playoffs but i think 7th to 9th would be a good season compared to the last few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 6th place is the minimum acceptable finish. We really have to stop pissing about in this league and get our act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scow Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 We really have to be looking at 10th and above. There is no reason why we shouldn't be finishing above that, given the way we performed towards the end of last season. Of course we'll need to strengthen in a few areas (Which has been well documented on here) but we have enough talented players at our disposal to make us a competitive side in this division. One advantage we'll have over a number of teams is that we should have a settled team in place, which hasn't been the case over the past 3/4 seasons. Saying that, I feel the play-offs are beyond us.

Daggers Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 I don't see the point in being a fan unless you can indulge yourself in blind optimism at the outset of the season. I mean, aside from supporting Barnstoneworth United surely EVERY fan in the country hopes for sucess and glory...is there any point in being anything else?

lookwhaticando Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 I'd like to finish in a promotion-enabling position, automatic or play-offs - but I'd be pleased with top-half - mainly because it'd make a nice change from messing around with the likes of Rotherham and Millwall at the bottom of the league.

ThurmastonFox Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 I think that until it is mathematically impossible we should aim for promotion and avoiding relegation. (Optimism and pessimism all in on ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobbo Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 As long as we finish at the end of the season like normal teams and not before that, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 28 May 2006 Share Posted 28 May 2006 With a great front pairing and a solid central defensive pairing that hopefully will stay Injury and suspension free we should be looking at the top half of the league. But having said that things could all change over the summer if we were to lose a couple of our most valuable assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
