10th

a much improved season with our player of the season being Janice Budtzerfingers rolfl

seriously though best player going to Liddle or Browny

I've only voted for the target that we should be aiming for.

We should be looking for the best finish possible therefore we should compete to win League one or promotion automatically.

And I don't care whether people think that's too optimistic for my own good.

I voted for top ten but, as there are ten options in the top ten, 3rd to 6th would be very nice and 1st or 2nd would make me ecstatic.

Aha! a loophole. I'll close the bugger now!

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:17 pm

I've gone top ten, though it wouldn't take *that* much to make it even better.
But by the same token, it wouldn't take that much either to make it bottom half.

P.S. is this post a candidate for "fence sitter of the year" or what? :laugh:

If we get lucky with injuries & suspensions - a possible play-off spot. Realistically, the back-up is not quite enough, so I'd say 12th place.

At the moment.....and due to not knowing what our three new players are Like I am going for almost relegation.

I hope I am wrong, but if we get injuries to Porter and Brown.....we are foooked.

Our squad is paper thin. And the two regular keepers are just not good enough.

I'd love to get you and Poolie of Kent in the same room and see where the discussion went.

Mr Ultra Positive v Mr Ultra Negative.

I went for 11-16, I don't think we will go down but I don't think that we have the strength in depth to challenge for the top spots

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 9:31 pm

I think 7-10 is the best we can hope for. But of course if we get that close, it would only take a few more points to edge into the play-offs. Being just a little more positive than Mr Head. :grin:

TheGingerPoolie · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 10:20 pm

7-10th. It'll still count as mid-table obscurity as Leicester, Carlisle, Leeds and Scunny will probably pull away.

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 10:49 pm

I've gone 11-16th. I can see us slightly improving on last year but nothing significant. Hopefully three or four signings in the right areas (Keeper, Full Backs, Striker) will see me more optimistic by the Colchester match.

cant see further than relegation dogfight myself

hope i'm wrong diddly wrong wrong

I concur.

Although if we were to sign a pair of proper full backs and a forward / right winger before the start of the season I would be tempted to revise that prediction.

I've gone for 17th to 20th.I'm normally pretty positive but remember last year we had a few clubs
with points deductions giving us a head start.I'm struggling to find 4 sides who will be worse than us next
year, yeovil,hereford,cheltenham maybe?
obviously hope I'm wrong,its taken me this long to get used to finding us on page 325 on teletext.

I get the feeling that until the ground is sold to the club then investment won't be as high as it has been in the first 10 years............over to those muppets at the Council.....................do the right thing Kermit and Miss Piggy!!!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:42 pm

I've gone for Relegation....nothing has changed since last season!!!! confised

And I think they will. sadx

Foley and Budtz? :shock:

I've gone for the dogfight unless Wilson has a major rethink of his tactical decision making, and signs a decent goalkeeper and a striker.

We live in hope confised

Looks like we and 6 others were pretty much correct Mr Salt. :laugh:

Promotion contenders??? rolfl

I put you lads in the top 10 but not sure whether you can make the playoffs.

SFC Forever · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 11:01 pm

See you and a few others finishing above my lot this season. Not next though.

parmopooly · **Posted:** Sat Jul 25, 2009 9:25 am

I think the defensive line-up needs to be decided on fairly quickly so they can settle. Trying out different formations up front to try and get a goal is one thing, but not being sorted out at the back means there's always the potential for going two goals down very quickly - as we saw far too often last season. This then puts enormous pressure on the forwards and attacking midfielders, last term they were up to the job as I don't think there can have been any other team amongst the 92 who successfully came back from 2 down as often as Pools did.
It's definitely not good for our tickers to go through that again, so if we sort out the back line I'll settle for being a dull as ditchwater team and keeping away from the bottom four.
Hoping for between 12th and 16th at the very worst, but at the moment it's looking like another long hard struggle
