2015/2016 Position. Your Predictions
Need I remind you that each and every one of you were appalling last season. I've misplaced the prediction list though I recall only my good self and maybe USPF and 1 other poster coming close and I don't think anyone covered themselves in glory. So put the rosy specs away and give it a better shot this time!
Last play off slot....that's 6th innit?.....Look...I have faith in Mr, Cook that I didn't in the last 2 managers. But his methods and fitness regimen aren't going to tell overnight and he hasn't had time to cement all the players he wants in and out. Other teams have this in position already. I see attention is being given to the awful away form and there is talk of traveling earlier.....why on earth was this not figured out last season!....it's basic freakin football sense that you cant drive 300 miles in Bwitain then get of the bus and play as well as the home team ffs!....I despair at the simple stuff being missed sometimes.
Anyhow.....6th due to the FACT that other teams already have a solid system and common sense in place even though they are underfunded compared to us. Anything can happen in the play offs.

3rd - and then promotion via the play offs (meaning another trip to Wembley)!

Nope! 1st, 2nd and 3rd places get automatic promotion. Places 4th to 7th = play-offsThe Cincinnati Kid wrote:

LOL, seems you have rose-tinted memories then Kid as you predicted 8th and USPF hedged his bets at 8th to 10th. I think you'll find my prediction of 20th was actually closest to our final 16th placing
As for this season, i'll go for 9th (in the hope we again exceed my expectations).

Re: 2015/2016 Position. Your Predictions
Quite a number there who thought we would just miss out on the playoffs by finishing 8th to 10th including myself but very few put us outside the top 10. I still think we should have finished in the top 10 but the injury to Robinson and Whatmough finished us and then the end of season mid table slump set in.league 2 blues wrote:Here is the thread with last year's predictions:

I expect better this season but I am not sure I can stretch to automatic promotion so a finish between 4th and 7th and a playoff place for me with a disappointing outcome.
Ahh Frazzles, the king of snack foods...

I'd like to see Tubbs at the front of the second half's midfield on Friday.Selsey Bill wrote:A bit like the 2nd half last Saturday then!Pompey1985 wrote:9th. dominate a lot of games but fail to score enough.
