Now that pre-season has started with some excitement and we're still in the middle of the silly season of transfers, what are your 5 bold predictions and expectations for the upcoming season?
Personally I want to continue to see more goals and cohesion in our play. I want to see our emerging star youth players integrated especially in the cup competitions.
I'm expecting progress at minimum for a successful season ,and for me, that's finishing at least 4th and getting to the quarter-finals of the Europa, FA Cup, and League Cup. I think we are finally starting to see the squad depth needed for that competition on all four fronts. There's a lot of luck of the draw in the cups so I want to take that into account with getting to the QFs and seeing what happens or if we put more resources or energy into Europa/FA etc.
Specific Expectations:
I think we have it in us with better injury luck and continued development and shaping of the squad to have at least 75 points (+9 on last season), score at least 80 goals (+6 on last season), concede no more than 52 goals (-9 on last season) for a GD of 28 which would be +15 on last season and put us right around 4th at least.
