Predict our final league position 24/25
« on July 13, 2024, 12:42:06 pm by ncRover »
The transfer business is finished and pre-season is about to begin, so I thought I’d do this again.

Just a bit of fun to look back at how right or wrong we were!

Collectively, we were bang on last season. Out of 51 predictions for 23/24 the rounded average prediction came to 5th, which is of course where we finished. We were dreadfully wrong the year before that.

I went with 7th last year. This year I am going with 1st.

The standard looks pretty decent again. I think the likes of Notts County, Port Vale, MK Dons and Carlisle will make for a competitive top end. But with a fitter and more settled squad, I think we get the job done third time lucky.

Please post your prediction on the exact position. If you change your mind please edit your post. Cut off is before 8pm on 8th August.

1st for me. We’ve got everything in place for a great season as long as there are no bad injuries to several key players.

Not sure the defense is good enough for a smooth riding 1st.

3rd to 7th.

3rd for me, the test will be against the top fancied teams, however Grant will have the fresh memory of how not to start a season.

The only thing I think lets us down is the goalkeeper, defenders I think are more than capable for this level, midfield I would says it’s definitely top 3, same with the strikers.

The P vs O this year is going to be very interesting

How can you say the goalkeeper lets the team down. We haven’t even seen him in pre season yet let alone a league game.
He is highly rated at Chelsea a Premier league club. Has England youth caps and apparently you have already decided he isn’t good enough.

Champions.

For me - we not only have cover in all positions, we have competition, just look at the full back situation as an example. Then we have the spine all winning teams must have - strong centre halves, ball winning midfielders and genuine goal scorers.  The squad looks very well sorted, energized and motivated with the benefit of the likes of Woody,Billy and Joe to keep them in their places.

Then we have us, the regular 6500 homers who have now been joined by another 3 or 4 thousands who if we start winning will join in the party,

The management team and board have done a fantastic job over the last 12 months and created a real feel good factor around our club.

So for these reasons I don't see any other side better all round than us.

I just mean the GK department as a whole yes if the lad from Chelsea is good then fine but having no real back up is what worries me personally I don't think lawlor or Jones will be first choice, I'll be glad to be proven wrong and time will tell

Champions with 2No strikers on 20+ goals to boot.

Little unsure with keeper situation but barring multiple bad injuries we will win the league.

Last season I went with 20th, and was unhappy to say so, thankfully from Feb onwards I was proved wrong by GM. This season I am quite happy to follow Gm's prediction. !st.

I think Lawlor or Jones are good enough as back up. We are a league 2 club and are not going to have back up keepers as good as a Premier league Club or a Championship one.
We have to assume Sherman-Lowe is a very decent keeper. Looks like a lot of homework has been done on him and we have to trust GM that he has got a good one.

Depends on how we start the season but definitely think we’ll be top 3.

Not enough in midfield to be Champions, but I’d take 3rd.

GM thinks it is.
We will see.

My guess is we will be playing a 1st choice of Bailey, Clifton & Sbarra
A flexible 4-3-3 formation. I see the middle 3 being very fluid.

Top 7 prediction.
I will make another before the 1st game as any new transfers may change my mind.
Previously I had Notts County 2nd but with their transfer of the top league scorer in League 2 Langstaff to Millwall I have dropped them to 4th place.

1) Doncaster Rovers
2) MK Dons
3) Chesterfield

4) Notts County
5) Port Vale
6) Gillingham
7) Carlisle United
