Prediction poll: Final finishing position

[WestYorksRoyal]

It's that time again. How are we feeling before the season kicks off?

Obviously a massive caveat that the window is still open for 3 weeks, which will influence opinions.

I'm going top half; perhaps scrape into the play-offs but lose to a good team if we get there.

Our starting XI is good enough, but we've left ourselves a lot of late transfer window work to do to get a squad capable of lasting the distance. Plus I'm still not completely sold on Leam, even if the mood seems more positive now.

I'm feeling weirdly confident about play-offs.

I think it was unreasonable to have expected much from last season, with the caveat that it would be this season that we’d be mounting a serious challenge. I have afforded the owners and manager a fair amount of grace and anything short of the playoffs would be a disappointment; the football has to improve absent of the excuses of last year, and if the squad or manager aren’t up to the task something will have to change.

I hope the fans will not let past biases shape their reactions and we keep a level head - we aren’t going to win or play well every game, and we have to remember we aren’t the club we used to be. But I think we should expect more than mere glimpses of promise and Leam has to prove he is capable of delivering better football if he’s going to be the man to lead us back up the league.

I'm feeling weirdly confident about play-offs.

With our lack of squad depth, that is for sure weird.

I have gone mid table, but if the change is made early enough then should be play-offs.
