I would say a similar season to last for us 10th-12th finish after another season of consolidation and focus on youth, outside chance of play-offs.
We have been very impressive pre season, won every game including against a team that finished 3rd in Serie A last season.
I think you guys will be hovering around 5th and probably seal a play-off spot, the good thing about being not very good in the Premier League is that you dont stay there long enough to accumulate the costs of it, so you are in a fair position.

Bookies aren't often wrong by too much, it's between Leeds, Fulham and Cardiff, I don't think they have factored in the extra goals from Gatzel and Flint, teams won't be able to stop us scoring from corners anymore by sticking three players on Morrison and wrestling him to the ground.
I think when you factor in the loss of Dan James and McBurnies 24 odd goals, and an inexperienced Bluebird manager you will be much closer to the bottom than the top!
So I would go with Fulham and Cardiff first and second, Swansea between 16th and 24th depending on the start!

I don’t buy into that philosophy and history is aligned to that. If you lose your keeper it doesn’t mean you will lose 399 goals as there is nobody there to save them anymore, he gets replaced.
If you believe bookies don’t often get it wrong then I am safe in the knowledge they also agree with me, we are 12th in their odds list for the title, which is round about where we should finish. 12th that is.

Ha ha typical Roathy, if we had finished mid-table in the Championship table last year, sold our Manager and two best players, and replaced the Manager with Leighton James Son, who had never managed a league team in his life and not replaced the players, you wouldn't be saying I think you will be in and around the playoffs![]()

On paper, we are one of the top contenders for promotion, and you are tipped for the bottom half not twelfth!
We all know anything can happen but that's the position as things stand!
