floyd__streete 8 points from the last 12 in the league suggests that the only realistic target now is staying in the division (should be an achievable objective thanks to the fast start that we made).
Whether mere survival is an acceptable state of affairs is a different matter given the vast amounts invested, mainly on short-termist signings. All those involved in the signing of and the signing off of all those very many loan players should be ashamed of their efforts. We built a short-termist squad which has abjectly failed in the short term

Armadillo Roadkill I want to see us:
Win more than we lose at home.
Over 50% of our players being academy products.
Stay in business
Not get relegated.
Have a few good cup runs and maybe kick a few top Premiership teams out.
I don't want to see us:
Play tedious football with no passion or commitment.
Filling a team with expensive journeymen with no link to the club or fans.
Buy our way into some top flight division where we get beaten most games just because the owners of other clubs have more money than our owners.
My expectation is that things will turn out more like the first list than the second.

wingnut I just don't buy this "most talented squad ever" bollocks. There's not one of last night's starting eleven I'd take over their 2005-2007 counterpart.

Augem I think we have had a lot of bad luck recently and I am still optimistic things will come good if not before the end of this season then for next season.

Royal_jimmy Expectations now are to surely get 5 more wins as fast as possible and anything extra is a bonus. Then a big clear out this summer.
