Got a new squad have a feeling that in going to be a massive learning curve for team, as most of them haven't played in this division. If we get a good start then its going to be a bonus. Can we all not start to panic before Christmas, PH will sort us out. Until PH keeps saying the same things in interviews he has my 100% trust, MM lost my trust saying the same things every week and not fixing them. My prediction is 15th What would you suggest if we're near the bottom at Christmas? Leave it to PH to sort out? Would be the same as any other club, he's got his own team now and will be judged by performances and league position... Very posative since he arrived but yet to be convinced that hungry young players will keep us in the mix for mid table and above...More likely bottom half with relegation more likely than promotion certainly hope to to be proved wrong and looking forward to the journey if we do compete but apprehensive

No idea, so I'll go for anywhere between 1st and 24th.
As pointed out by Petshrew, I too just want to get to the 50/55 point mark as quickly as possible.

I am not one to shot from this hip and sack somebody who's been in the job less than a year.

I think 9th position with one of the best goals against columns in the division. Perhaps a lack of goals and too many draws will prevent us mounting a sustained push for the play-offs. It will be a tougher league than last year with very strong teams coming down and the promoted teams all look capable of staying up. Really looking forward to a season we can be proud of. 9th position, heard it here first - now check the league table😊

14th or thereabouts . Would do me , an improvement and hopefully leave us with a squad PH can use as a platform for further progress the following season . We look much better than last year and I am quietly optomistic. With a bit of luck and a fair wind we may even be flirting with the play offs .

14th. No real massive fear of relegation. I didn't make a prediction on this thread but elsewhere I made a similar statement about not having a fear of relegation this season. Even with our current lofty position, I don't want to go beyond that statement for fear of cursing the current run. But clearly, this now has the potential to be a very special season in our history.

Fun looking back to August 4th/5th.
Nobody could excuse Town fans of looking through rose tinted glasses. Hard knocks had made us range from gloomy harbingers of relegation to dreamers of glorious mid table mediocrity.
Nobody was a wide-eyed optimist predicting promotion... well apart from ChampagnePrince... and his crazed dream of us being record breaking Champions may end up being the most accurate!
Or so the rest of us very, very secretly hope.
