    Will this poll be used to mock and ridicule those that put any of the first 3 options,at the end of the season when we implode at Xmas and finish 13th?

    Oh f@ck it,I’m voting champions again just like last season.

    4-7 - obviously I can't predict whether we'll win the play offs or not, but I think that's the realistic outcome - anything more (ie, autos) is a FANTASTIC achievement - anything less, well, we'll have to assess what that means and how the future looks.

    But if we only narrowly miss out on the play offs and are hampered by injuries or things beyond our control, then sure, I'm fully backing Hughes.

    I think this is the best the club has looked in decades - Ryan Sparks is doing a super job and is at last allowed to focus on all of his strengths, while Hughes is in total control of the on-pitch activities.

    Rupp, in the background, at last has a team of legitimate quality working for him.

    Feels great, I'd hate for anything to change that.

    MH him no fool. The new five subs rule will give us a massive advantage over so many clubs thanks to the strength in depth and quality we've signed. With Hughes undoubted tactical smarts we'll have the option of totally transforming second halves of games if needs be, by bringing on five strong players in whatever system he might want to change or strengthen.

    Could also be used to mock those that think we'll implode by Christmas

    No, nobody knows but they can predict, forecast, foretell, guess based on best estimates. Prediction means looking into what might happen. it does not mean looking back at what has already happened. You can't bet in hindsight.

    I predict that we finished 14th last season.

    Maybe the weather forecast should stick to telling us yesterday's weather.

    In virtually any race, you place a bet before the start. The start is a week on Saturday. Why should it be ‘far too early’?

    Aim for the top, Hughes likes silverware and you only get that for one place(no I don’t count the playoff one they give for show at Wembley).

    Champions.

    Hi Dave, good to hear from you! Think the big difference is it's not just about bigger squads - it's about the sheer strength in depth and I now think we have that in spades.

    I’m very hopeful this is going to be the season we do get promoted our support deserves it . I have confidence in Hughes (Sparky ) our signings appear okay hopefully the team put the effort in and we get promoted .
