right now the window for perm transfers is shut and i've had a chance to see the team out side of friendlies i am going so say we will finish 6th but miss out in play offs. I think the team will yo-yo in and out of the top 6 all season before looking like we are dropping away then a last moment surge to take 6th place but come undone in the two leg play off.
I think we are now a team who are good at playing the ball and will make chances but not many big chances. So wining games by the odd goal will be our thing however silly errors because we don't start games quickly or we tyre at the end will cost us the points needed to be comfortable top 6.
In the play off's we will end up playing a team like Villa who can soak up pressure and hit us at the end of games with the sucker punch.
All sounds pessimistic i know but in reality a top 6 finish is a huge improvement from a new team and means we have won more games than we did last year while being entertain with some truly breath taking football.
