Season 05/06 expectations

I Know its early days and transfers, be them in or out of Portman road will affect the level of optamism, but what is your gut feeling at the moment regarding next seasons outcome?

I feel its going to be a tough time and we will have to rely on the bloody play offs

Lets hope I'm wrong!!!

Champions!

If you can't be wildy over optomistic before the season starts then when can you?

Medicore top half i reckon.. Nothing special but not in any real trouble .. then push for promotion the season after once built a decent side of youngsters again then if we dont make it sell them to Charlton then start again untill we finally do make it up..

When there's only a few months to go and you are winning the league!!

without knowing who is coming in i feel we are going to be stuck in mid table mediocrity, maybe with BFJ's wheeling and dealing that may push up to a play off contender but nowhere near the heights we got to last season!

Relegation scrap for me! then if we are relegated its no major suprise and if we dont its even better!

I feel the 3 coming down will all be hard to beat and all 3 have a good chance of taking the top three spots

Saying that usually one of them struggles to get to grips with championship football.

I,m going to say we'll finish 11th plus/minus a place or two.

Bluebird · Post by **Bluebird** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 3:33 pm

6th place and promoted via play offs

il say Ã‚Â£50 that we will go up next year as champs

we arnt a mid table side we will always be in the top six usually but im confident that we wont be damaged too much by players going out so were going up

Play offs again, But this year we will win, AT WEMBLEY.

Ipswich town, last club to win a trophy at Old Wembley and 1st team to win 1 at the New Wembley

A little outside the play offs I think.Each year the championship gets harder and harder to get out of IMHO.There are some big boys in the league this forthcoming season Leeds,Wolves,Southampton,sheffield wednesday,but to name a few and normally there is a suprise packeage in the group that just come up so it wont be a push over at all and a play off place is a tall order.

I think we will be mid table just below the play offs for most of the season and then a late run will see us scrap 6th and on to Wembly. This is our fate and we will beat the Budgies in the final.

That sounds perfect to me, give that man a cigar

I'm going for a mid table finish, anything higher than that would be a good season.

jono · Post by **jono** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 10:41 pm

why are people so negative on here saying we are going to finish mid table i cant see it personally we are to good for mid table we have only lost 1 important player so far. we are always going to be a side come the end of the season in the playoffs or top 2 in my opinion

The bookies certainly don't agree, we're currently between 14 and 16-1 to be champions next season

I agree... it's not pessimism, just not setting our hopes too high as fans, we can't be disappointed that way

what about leeds though they must have thought they were going back up and they were closer to league 1 that the prem.

Rach · Post by **Rach** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 12:18 pm

I think that if we can keep most of the squad together we can do as well as last season.....so I think it'll be close between getting 2nd place or being in the playoffs again

My hopes this time last year were mid-table, and I can tell ya, i'm still bitterly dissapointed now

Following on from Phillys post on chit chat about a thread he did before the start of the season, thought i would bring a few to the top so everyone can see their predictions.

How have you all done so far???

truefan2005 · Post by **truefan2005** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 12:30 pm

i think we will be in the top four at least
