Racing Post "Big Kick-Off" Preview

My own view is 6th or 7th. I like that we have brought back experience to help out, but the firepower up front surely has to be a worry?

RP take Rotherham to win the league. But I think they've dodged tipping Birmingham purely on account of the price (now 2/1 best). They headline Burnley for the Championship. At 8/1 I like their chance with Scotty Parker at the helm, given the departures from Leeds.

 

Yeah I hope Burnsley lol, can go back up to the Prem again. I like the Burnley fans, and I have nothing against them.
As for us, the other Burnsley lol, I'm really looking forward to it now. And we're first up of course, on the Friday night, live on the telly.
A chance to win on the telly at Oakwell, and go top of the league, to begin with. Give a real statement of intent ehh, hopefully.

 

I’ve been happy with the signings so far and think we look better defensively, which is a good starting point.

Competition in midfield, and a few goalscorers.

Definitely light up front, based on current strikers previous form, but I’m sure we’ll sort it.

Top 6 again for me

 

8th of 8! I’d tell the whisperer to pipe down!

 

Yes he ran poorly, had an hat full of runners at Carlisle no winners an a few at Linfield no winners, dont shoot the messanger, you hear summat from someone who's got 6 horses in the stable you tend to listen, onwards an upwards as they say.

 

These pre season predictions will change massively based on how squads line up come 1st of Sep

As we are 11th, just not enough firepower up top to trouble the top 6

Bring in a decent finisher and a Keeper and keep what we have then top 6 is achievable

 

We could be in the position where we play better under Clarke, but get worse results than under Collins...

 

Just can't see that happening. Some of the teams last season were absolutely terrible yet with that slow laboured telegraphed passing system of Collins, we struggled to break many of them down.
