10th and above is a success.
11th to 16th is the expectation.
17th and below is depressing.
Finishing just 4 places above the relegation zone does not equate to a relatively stress-free season.Quote:

I won’t argue with thatQuote:

Managerial stability.
A vastly improved home record.
A quieter season for Eric and his stats machine - I don't want to hear of records for consecutive defeats, or games without scoring, or missed penalties.
Just a mediocre mid-table season will suit us nicely.
Bulut still being manager with a bit of backing in January.
A steak and ale pie and a pint served at your seat for a fiver
You fat bstd you fat bstd - oh wait a minute let me check the code of conduct leaflet is that one allowed anymore.:hehe:Quote:

Ending the season with the same manager that we started it off with.
Mid table mediocrity
At least one of the youngsters breaking into the team and staying there.
The total banning of, and any of the muppets getting a life time ban, for singing the vile 'Hymns and Arias' jacks song
17th/18th/19th. I think that's where we are in relation to the other 23 teams. Probably between 5 and 7 worse sides than us. We've overall marginally improved but let's be honest, we're starting from a very low baseline. And....still not sure how Ramsey's going work in another season of attrition.
Comfortable mid table finish having not been in a relegation battle at any point
No managerial changes
More goals, more home wins, more exciting football
At least one win over you know who
A platform to build on for the following season
Looking for more exciting/entertaining football to watch with a a top 10 finish
16th or above in the league.
Have a go in the Cups.
Some youngsters get noteable game time Colwill ×2, Evans, Ashford etc
The 4 out on loan; King, Davies, Denham and Davies loans prove to be a success and they return to the club better players ready to fight for a 1st team place.
We clear out some of the deadwood; Sawyers, Campbell, Zimba, Rinhomota and probably Ojo, Tanner, Adams, Alnwick, Romeo, Collins and Ugbo
McGuinness, Ng and Colwill all sign new long term contracts.
Grant and Bowlers loans are converted to permanent.
Avoid relegation.
We should then be able to clear out more of Morisons signings have no embargo and be in a better position to rebuild next summer.
Finish 18th or above and keep the same manager and id say it would be hugely successful.
I think comfortable in mid table and building on that for next season.
Success top 6th
Happy with 14-6th
Disappointing 21st - 14th
Disaster bottom 3
It's this for me. I'd be happy with a boring mid-table season where we see the start of something positive being developed on and off the pitch.Quote:

I think we are a No9 striker away from that
We definitely need to get rid of the deadwood at some point
And that includes some of the players with .....potential
It's now or never
A fit Robinson will get us 20 goals if he's given the serviceQuote:

I think you're at Alton Towers mate.Quote:

I don’t get the Bagan thing, I think Simpson would be ahead of him.Quote:

I'd be happy with mid-table. anything else is a bonus at the moment.
That said, I'm quietly confident that we'll have a decent season. I know it's early days, but 2-2 at ex-Premiership Leeds, who gave us a real battering, was a bit of a confidence-booster, as far as I'm concerned.
