How the fixtures fall is very important imo.

Id like them to have an abysmal start then come here after 3 or 4 hammerings.

Play them away once down, in april.

Take decent points off ipswich n the play off winners too.

Vital.

I'd be happy with a similar season and having a go at one of the domestic cups.

Transfer wise just try and improve the squad as a whole, more strength in depth, more back up for injuries, replace players who are struggling with better players (easy to say on paper of course).

Another mid table finish would be fine, we would have been happy with 17th beginning of the season so I think we just need a couple of years stabilising ourselves as a Premier League team and if we can get into Europe or do well in a cup the next few seasons then that would be great.

I think normally there isn't much of a promotion bounce and the teams struggle. Sure there was stats going about at the beginning of the season stating how the promoted teams had struggled to find wins in the first couple of months.
 
Hope to be comfortable from relegation talk, I suspect the promoted teams won’t be as strong as this year so the gap might be bigger.

I think Liverpool and Man Utd will pick up more points so the top four / five will be further out of reach from rest of the league.

I imagine Forest and Newcastle will be stronger. Then you’ll have the teams who get Europe and potentially struggle a wee bit with the added games.

Probably finish between 13th and 8th, depending on how the transfer window goes.

Folk thinking this years teams were strong (they were against other years) but burnley look like ending about 20 points from safety n leeds could go to the last weekend!

I think either Spurs or West Ham will go down with 39/40 points, I don’t think that’ll be the case next year.
 
Get off to a good start, and get that 40 points in the bag, then see what's achievable. Similar to what we've done this season, but with a sneaky European spot as reward for the graft at the end of it.

Push on for a champions league challenge. That’ll be the clubs ambition. Summer signings will show that.

I’d say survival first above all else then a mid table finish and if we still have points on the table then push for Europe. I think the coaching staff have had a a massive wake up call with how many goals we’ve conceded as of late so the big change will be to drop this stubbornness and avoid another forest imo
 
Without having any data to hand myself, is second season syndrome really a myth or is it that for the last god knows how long, teams have by and large gone up and straight back down again?
 
Better than this season, and perhaps a Cup run, would be a season of merit. Keep most of the squad you have and add another couple of starters.
 
again 40 points
some good, smart buys
some evolution to the game model
Monorail
And 6 points against those with an aversion to soap based products
