Don't think they'll have the same points or the same goals tally, but feel sure there's no one to challenge them at present.
Without knowing who they're bringing in it's hard to tell how they'll do in the title challenge, but as new players take time to settle I think they'll just hang on to 2nd spot.
Yes, I'm going for us to finish 3rd providing we either hold onto Sara and Carranza, or find suitable replacements as Peter M. promised. The experience of last season should make our players more prepared for the next one.
Could be the shock troops next season. A lot of young, promising players who are coming on fast and if they get the consistency they lacked last season, they could finish high.
Boring to watch, but capable of grinding out results with consistency if they play like they have in all games against us last season.
Sorry, Hibees, I think you're climb to fame is over, especially if big Alex. leaves. Still haven't got over the loss of Latapy and the poor ending to a season full of promise.
Shouldn't be in any relegation battle next season, not if they can improve on the fine form shown at the latter part of the season. Still a bit boring, but they work hard and will pick up points. when least expected.
will probably prove me wrong again, but I often wondered how they finished 4th as they were never entertaining, never flashy, but still got the results. Think they're due a wee struggle next time around.
Had a superb middle of season run of results but were poor at the start and end, and I don't think they'll challenge for the 6th spot this time around.
A lot of ifs and buts with controversy over whether the likes of Bollan, Lowndes, etc., will be there next season. If not, I think they'll struggle from start to finish.
Their financial situation hasn't helped with players being sold to balance the books. Think they'll just make 2nd bottom with a struggle.
Sorry, Livy, please prove me wrong, but what I've seen of the standard of players coming up, no chance. Still, you may have a few surprise signings yet, so who knows.
