[Worthy4England]

Bit disappointed this didn't have "bottom 3" in it, so our erstwhile Dougie is crap mob, could put us down there

1) Top 6 teams and Order - QPR, Reading, Watford, Wigan, Leicester, Bolton
2) Bolton finishing position - probably 6th to 8th
3) Bolton top scorer - Sordell
4) Bolton Player of the season - Medo
5) Bolton flop of the season - N'gog.

I didn't want to predict the bottom three as it seems such a lottery this division.

Top 6 is hard enough.

[m_taylor]

1) Top 6 + Order

1st Reading
2nd Bolton Wanderers
3rd Queens Park Rangers
4th Wigan Athletic
5th Blackburn Rovers
6th Nottingham Forest

2) Bolton Finishing Position - 2nd
3) Bolton Top Scorer - Sordell
4) Bolton Player Of Season - Wheater
5) Bolton Flop Of Season - CY Lee

Wow, hold them horses, Norpig... WTF are Blackburn doing that high up the table?

...and m_taylor, you too?

They have goal scorer and maybe, just maybe a settled team. They started so well under Steve kean and it all went tits up when they changed managers (how many times was it) so i can see them doing well (not that i want them too)

Cant chuffing believe that Watford can do that, piss take! Have they signed that young lad that did so well for them though?

[Lord Kangana]

I'm no good at predictions, but I have a sneak that our flop of the season is going to be Beckford. Certainly, I think he's going to generate quite a few threads of his own as the season progresses, for both good and bad. That's yer lot.

that's a fear I've had - but it has dared not speak its name!

[Lord Kangana]

The possibilities are myriad - he may well get in thegoals but still divide opinion with his Ricketts-like workrate.

Beckford will divide opinion. I'd have thought that was pretty much as nailed on as these things can be. On the plus side, sounds like if he's shit we don't pay very much for him, fee wise at least. If he turns out to be a masterstroke then alls good.

[Spartan2]

1) Bolton - then no idea.
2) 1.
3) Beckford.
4) Medo
5) Dunno.

Since the arrival of DF we were pretty much the best team last season and we're even stronger now, except for Dawson. Better fitness, more tactically aware, more leaders, better fullbacks and a goalscorer (major weaknesses last season). I expect we'll see so much more from LCY, Medo, Sordell and Pratley after their respective issues have been sorted and a full pre-season with a good manager. Add to that Wheater and possibly Holden. I've-got-a-feeling Hall will be quality. IMO we're a CB away from a mint team. Simply put DF just knows what he's f**king doing.

Regarding Watford *I think* they can only play 3-4 of those loan players at any one time?

that's a big except!

Better fitness, how do you know this? Beckford can only last 15-20mins!

more tactically aware, not sure how you measure this after 2 pre-season games (a loss and a draw)

more leaders, who?

better fullbacks jury still out, surely?

and a goalscorer (major weaknesses last season). who would that be? Beckford? let's wait and see!

We're going to win it you miserable bastards

It's exceptionally difficult to empirically measure the future . As these are predictions -on a football forum no less-, they're just my opinion and all in good fun.

absolutely fairy muff! - they just sounded a bit specific is all! and they weren't the predictions asked for!

more leaders... frinstance... who do you reckon will be captain?

More Leaders: Wheater, Baptiste, Holden (another if ) Tierney, Medo and even Beckford, I think all of these players are leaders in some respects. But by leaders I also kind of mean forceful, almost bullies like Nolan and the majority players we had under Alladyce. A common feeling among fans last season was we shrunk from some games, we had too many Tim Reams and not enough abdoulaye faye types. I still think we're a long way from the "forcefullness" of the Allardyce era but getting better. As for Captain? Not sure, Baptiste.

Fitness: I think we're fitter because it's so important to DF. And the noises from the press suggest the players are being trained harder.

Fullbacks: I think they were among our worst positions last season and Tierney/Baptiste are a lot better.

Tactics: We became more tactically aware the moment DF took over from OC. I think the more time he spends with the players the better they'll become.

I don't make predicitions. And I never will.

I don't get this 'to be a flop you have to have high hopes' thing. From who? Obviously not the person predicting them to be a flop?!
