We are going to finish 23rd

[bluesp]

We are going to struggle

We are going to struggle this season

That's your sentence composition and as far as I can see there is no difference ....

You say there is

I am stranded on the island of confusion here mate

How’s this:

A) People saying we could do with players in a, b or c positions or we are going to struggle

B) is very different to we are going to struggle this season. ( so not factoring in any new additions whilst predicting a poor campaign)
