Genuine Poll - Minimum season expectations

[Mr Controversial]

So, taking out any debate on transfers - what would you seriously accept as a minimum this season.

FWIW - Mid table for me - anything less than that would be constitue a backward step in my book when you consider what we have achieved over the past few seasons.

[papereyes]

There has to be a separation of final result and how we got there.

Take last season - play offs GREAT, coming 4th in a 3 horse race LOL

[Elliott]

I still believe we are going up, but decided a play off spot is more realistic. Optimism!

COME ON URZ!

[07RFC]

i'd be happy with play offs, but it isn't going to happen.

[Dorset-Knob]

Surviving to fight another day and another season next year would be the fraught, but minimum acceptable outcome, a learning curve that takes us in to mid-table would be desirable, anything else will be a bonus this season. Realism is often a bitter pill!

[shoey]

I want play-offs, but I would be happy with mid table, during the transitional stage we seem to be in

[yuomi]

im not sure if you can measure relegation as a level of success or not...

however,



none of this would get my vote.

[papereyes]

I see that Royalee got his vote in ...

[Schards#2]

From where we are right now, i'd accept staying up.

To have to make that statement two years after we finished eighth in the premiership is a testimony to the triumph of the brick by brick approach adopted by this club.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Anything less than the play offs will be a failure, SC managed it, so his succesor should be able to, and i have fears, but if it all clicks into place I can see those turn into the play offs.

[shoey]

I see your point so solid crew, but SC, and I am a big fan of his, had our full prem squad.
With the names who have left, you cant expect the same from our deplited team.

[SteveRoyal]

The start we've had - avoid relegation.
If we improve to what has been suggested, play-offs.
I'm not setting my heart on anything, though.

[IceRoyalsandKDoyles]

I still believe we are going up, but decided a play off spot is more realistic. Optimism!

COME ON URZ!

+1... Optimism is the way to go...
We can turn this start round, we're only 4 games in

[Thaumagurist*]

The poll says mimimum expectation, I'd expect us not to finish in the bottom half, but I'd hope we'd finish in the play-offs. Having said that, I'd be quite happy to finish in midtable. Then next season, hopefully, we'll go all out for promotion.

[The Quiet Man]

Stay in the division and have gelled a decent team by the end of the season that will encourage for next season.

[(.)Boobies(.)]

Survival.

[Man Friday]

From where we are right now, i'd accept staying up.

Genius response - cutting, witty, dry, accurate...it's got the lot!

[brendywendy]

survival for me

but to be fair i saw enough improvements in general on saturday to believe we will start to pull this round and finish midtable

if rodgers gets his transfers i believe a late playoff push may well be achieveable

if he is the messiah instead of a very naughty boy,and turns this team of kids into the greatest team we have ever seen, then we may even go up automatically


so, anywhere then

[weybridgewanderer]

blind optimism, unbelievable, some of you need to wake up and smell the coffee

[brendywendy]

sorry, i said survival is the minimum.......
