Leicester & Championship Predictions for next season.

[Webbo]

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.

If there was a player we knew would get 20 goals a season we wouldn't be able to afford him.

As i am sometimes reminded by a certain poster on here, i made a gem of a prediction a couple of seasons ago....

the season we got relegated i declared in a thread that one thing i am absolutely sure of and that is we wouldnt be involved in a relegation battle

last year i decided not to make a prediction.

Im torn this year as im filled with optermism... worryingly i was the season we got relegated ....

i'll refrain again this year...

Quite funny reading some of these pre-season predictions!

There seemed to be a fair bit of negativity and pessimism. Fast forward 7 months and we are sitting in the play off area and there's STILL a fair bit of negativity and pessimism! It's easy to forget just how far we have come.
