Prediction time 24/25

[Pilch]

The usual thread I start this time each season that gets avoided by most 😝
Step forward , be brave , so how do you think we are going to fair this season ?

I think we are scoring 4 times this Saturday , that's how barmy my prediction is 😝 , I also think we are going to be rock bottom at the end of the season

There you go , what's your predictions , can't be any worse than mine

[chirkshrew]

Until I've seen the first 7/8 games,I can't really give a prediction,but I'll say 18th and safety👍

[hectord0g137]

My hope Playoffs

Realistically Relegation fight

Hurst remains and fans line the street throwing rose petals at open top Tuc Tuc with players beaming showing bonus cheques

OR

Hurst out by Christmas replaced by someone we have never heard of chosen by our kit man

[darkshrew]

If we can stay clear of the bottom 4 then it will be a damn good performance this season.

[chirkshrew]

I certainly think we've got a good squad of players,and better ones than last season.if O'Reilly clicks into gear,and Winchester and rossiter perform well,I think we'll do ok

[The Clash 1966]

Around 15th nice and safe with some good performances and we hold on to the decent players.

[belfastshrew]

I agree with chirkshrew that we have better players (and coach) than last year.

I recon 17th. But really should reserve my guesses until I read beexplorer's managerial form analysis 🤣

[GrizzlyShrew]

Comfortably clear of relegation by the end, though it could be a bumpy ride to get there.

Dont think we were in the bottom 4 all last season? Cant see us managing that but I think we will be safe by the end.

[chirkshrew]

Just compare last seasons midfield and forward players to this seasons...are we any better this season,with the players we've got in???

[gtismygod]

Whilst we’re probably a bit better than last season, League One as a whole is much stronger than last season. Survival would be a great achievement.

External investment needed if we’ve got ambitions of ever doing anything of note in this division.

[GlosShrew]

I am going to buck the trend here a little and go for tenth position with a very nice 65 points!!! Now where did I put those tablets.....

[chirkshrew]

Nothing wrong with being positive my friend 👍👍

[Deleted]

Heart says we have a decent season, playing some good football and finish 12th
Head says we have to fight and scrap for every single point and crawl to 20th on the last day.Doing so annoys every pundit who all have us down for relegation

[supermac11]

Thought we were fortunate to survive last season. I don't think we'll be as lucky this time. It will be a major achievement if we survive

[BlueTone]

14th

Not being muggy, but you predicted we’d go the entire 23/24 season winless away from home after we’d already beaten Fleetwood 1-0 at Highbury.

On a serious note, we obviously have above a 50% chance of being relegated but there’s precious little joy in that.

[chirkshrew]

Wow! Looking back on my posts again....gerra life matey🙄🙄after Fleetwood away...if Taylor stayed in charge all season,we wouldn't have won away again...I wouldn't have been far off either 👍🥱🥱

[kenwood]

A confident and inspiring 10th place this season .
Crowds up and Hurst paraded through town end of season on RW’s shoulders in celebration as a Saudi consortium throw some loose change at us securing ownership and promises of a Premiership place within 5 years .
Remember you heard it here first.
I thank you.🤪👍

Who said anything about looking back at posts? Case closed.

[stuttgartershrew]

Just out of interest, do we have a link to last seasons thread to see how we got on?

I'll go for a finish around 17th.👍

[secretshrew]

My predictions:
- O Reilly to be top scorer with 7 goals
- Our new signings to be mostly injured causing us all sorts of problems
- We’ll finish in 19th
- At least 3 teams in league 1 to be deducted points 👀

[napoleon4th]

I think we will produce a good entertaining standard of football and finish 15th on 58 points however the standard of our pies will still be fighting relegation.

[blueboy48]

The league will be stronger but so will we. Going for 61 points so maybe 12th.

[northwestman]

19th, which is probably far too optimistic, as I can't identify 4 sides likely to be worse than us.

Burton was one of them, but they've now started to splash the cash.

[davycrockett]

Key to the door 21 for me I’m afraid, trapdoor 😩

Burton had a fantastic pre season

Lost 3-1 to mickleover sports club
Beat port vale 2-0 at home
Lost 3-0 at belper town
drew 2-2 at home to morecambe

[sheltonsalopian]

My one reason for optimism is Hurst and Doig having a full pre season. O'Reilly looks like a cracking player, if Josh Feeney is as good as him we have two players capable of moving us up a few places in the league.

But when I look at the table as to which teams I fancy us finishing higher than I can only name Crawley, Stevenage maybe.., Burton if their experiment goes wrong... Cambridge?

This is it isn't it. The league is stronger than last year. There is a reason Shrewsbury have been highlighted as likely for relegation by every single prediction I have seen.

A successful season is not being relegated. Anything better is a huge bonus

Long term no idea what the plan and hopes are other than this on repeat cycle

[wakemanender]

Hurst will do well to keep us up this season and then hope for an injection of cash with the sale of the club before next season. Every victory vital this season. Looking forward to it.
