Leicester & Championship Predictions for next season.

[Fox92]

• We will end up getting relegated even though many predict us to finish near the play-offs or even in them.
  
• Nigel Pearson will get sacked or will resign before the end of the season.
  
• We will not score against Swansea, Ipswich or Sheffield United and end up getting battered at both Portmand Road and Bramall Lane.
  
• People will start to 'boo' the side and then there will be 'arguments' on both this forum and the football forum on the radio.
  

[Fox You Forest]

. We will finish a respectable 10th

. Levi will join Cheltenham at some point

. flanimal will talk shit in the January transfer window

. Tunchev will net a hat trick

[demon_dog]

• Fryatt will be dropped in the second half of the season for his lack of goals.
  
• Yet again we will have a good defensive record, but few goals to our credit.
  
• Milan finally loses his patience and sells the club to Thracian.
  
• Thracian appoints DavieG and Raj as senior coaches, takes over as manager himself.
  
• Davie and Raj hailed as enlightened coaches by the manager, players and media, asked to coach England.
  
• Thracian takes us into the premiership with his youth policy.
  
• Thracian named manager of the month for March and April. :w00t:
  
• Asked to become England manager.

Afternoon all. Wednedayite here. Sorry to gatecrash, I just thought some of these predictions were interesting.

I get the impression from this thread that the general consensus is...

You expect to finish around midtable

You rate your defence pretty highly

But not too confident about scoring many

And you don't rate Pearson

Pearson was a superb leader as captain at Hillsborough and didn't he get you promoted? Is he actually not rated or is it some kinda running in joke?

Wellens is one of the best creative/passing midfielders in the CCC, so I can see you creating a fair bit going forward to be honest. That N'Gessan kid looks like a handful too.

My predictions then...

• You'll concede more than you think
  

• You'll score more than you think
  

• Wellens will be your player of the season
  

[scinnell]

Prediction 1: Sheff united to win the title.

Prediction 2: Mandaric to get laid.

Prediction 3: DJ to get sold and come back to the Walkers and get a Hat Trick.

[Daggers]

• We will not sign a forward on a full-time contract before the start of the season
  
• We will not score more than two goals in any league game
  
• Tunchev will suffer another long-term injury before Xmas
  
• Clemence will never play for the club again
  
• Mattock will never be sold for more than a million pounds
  
• We will finish 14th at best
  
• Pearson will part company with the club before next season starts
  
• Gradel will start in less than ten games
  
• Fryatt will not score more than 12 goals, no other club striker will make double figures
  

[Father Ted]

• 1)We will sign a goalkeeper on loan.
  2)Paddy McCarthy and Iain Hume will score against us.
  3)We score at least 5 goals from long throws.
  4) We will lose 4-3 away to a Premiership team in the Carling Cup
  

[Vlad The Impaler]

• 
  We will have the best defence in the league
  We will be promoted
  Fryatt WILL score 15+
  Howard will score 10+
  Our midfield will score plenty
  We will shock alot of people
  Wellens to be player of season
  Middlesborough, Reading and us to be promoted
  Newcastle will be in the bottom half, as will WBA
  Dickov will score the most important goal of the season
  We will draw a fair few
  Will lose no more than 5 games at home
  
  

We just have to be anywhere in mid-table in January, if we are then I will be feeling confident of a play-offs spot with Pearson bringing in some real quality.

[iancognito]

• Defying all reasonable opinion, we'll still have the Dagger at the end of every goal
  
• Fryatt will struggle for fitness, only score 5 before Xmas and be sold in the window to Forest.
  
• We'll get better as the season goes on and finish comfortably on 60 points
  
• Each BBC commentator will struggle pronounce N'Guessan
  
• Each BBC commentator will make a poor Guessin' gag
  

[smudge_lcfc69]

1 - Plymouth to spend over 75% of the season in the bottom 5 and eventually relegated.

2 - Fryatt to have a injury prone, goal restricted season.

3 - City to finish 10th-15th

[markbsac]

Prediction 1........we are one of the lowest goal scoring teams in th league

Prediction 2........howard gets a serious injury

Prediction 3........we just aviod relegation on the last day of the season forest and derby both finish above us cov get relegated

1.coventry to be bombed again by the germans

2.my girlfriend will finally admit to coming from hell and only lives in loughborough because there is no bus route to satans home.

3.the ring o bells in loughbrough will be closed down and made into a mcdonalds

4.bernard will become gordon browns successor

hope its true about the bells ....what a dump !

[Dames]

I predict that we'll have an extremely organised and hard to penetrate defence but we'll have an impotent attack, mimicking the 07/08 season but without as many silly mistakes meaning we'll finish about 14-16th.

[David Guiza]

• Dickov to not score all season. Pretty obvious .
  
• We will finish 16th
  
• We will beat Boro on the day of the season to prevent them getting auto promotion
  

[Flynny]

Tidyed and split. Frankly a couple of posts were deleted when they needed too much editing done for them to look right.

[Zingari]

Fryatt to be hailed as the new Michael Owen

Leicester storm the Championship

I get hugely disappointed

[ousefox]

1. We will get to the playoff final and lose to Cardiff

2. Nigel Pearson will be sacked and replaced by Ian Dowie

3. We will unveil a statue of Chris Powell

[carterfox90]

1 - we will do the double over the scum - cov please god let this happen

2 - we will finish mid table 12th

3 - wellens will become our new god

4 - fryatt will score less than 10 goals

5 - howard will be inaffective at this level just like before

[Granno]

• 
  
• Fryatt to get between 15 and 20 goals
  
• Pearson to be in a dugout for the final home game vs Boro, but in the away dugout
  
• A player will leave for over £2,000,000
  

[leicesterseddon]

The Birch will be wheeled out for another 'get behind the lads' speech before the Swansea game <_<

[Milans Foxes]

• Blackpool, S****horpe and Newcastle to go down (I have a fiver on Newcastle getting relegated )
  
• Leicester to make the play-offs and go out in the semi-finals
  
• Richie Wellens will be player of the season
  
• N'Guessan will be a surprise package
  
• Cov to finish 21st
  

[Jfox]

Best defensive record in the league

Gradel has 10 or more assists by the end of the season

Weale to keep at least 20 clean sheets

[Jfox]

We will do the double over four of the top six teams

We will go on a six game winning run

And We'll draw at lest 20 games

[Wilson_6]

Oh my god can't believe how many idiotic,pessimestic people there are in this forum. Are u actualy city fans. We won promotion well playing good football in a league where it's hard too. Ever heard of getting behind the club players and staff

I think there's more realism surrounding the predictions than idiocy and pessimism, the lack of a striker we know will be capable of scoring 20 odd goals a season at this level is a real concern. Though I can see where you're coming from in the second part of your post, the gulf between the CCC and League 1 isn't that big nowadays and teams that go through League 1 often do well in the Championship (see Swansea and Bristol City for details.) What we have to avoid is becoming a Scunny or a Forest and struggle all season.

I agree I would just like see people being a little optimistic we won the league last season 4 gods sake. Now I'm not saying comin should win champ but atleast be looking for midtable and every 1 is slagging off Howard and fryatt they were both influencial last season with goals and link up play and maybe going down a level and coming up again will give them the confidence and hunger they need

keep the faith!!!
