Go down the bookies if you really fancy losing your money.

All relegated clubs should finish top6, but is harder than it seems, ask Pardew

[papereyes]

Yup, the squad shoul finish Top 6 and we should not blithely accept a lower position

[Einstein agogo]

i don't think we should accept lower than top 6 with gay abandon

[sheshnu]

I think we should all accept whatever happens and then just get on with our lives.

Either that or sit around moaning all day about something completely insignificant, I can't decide.

[Zammo]

I will be laying the Royals every week. Virtually the same side for the last three seasons. They have not got it in them to fight in this division. LOL at Marek & Harper running the midfield at a cold wet Barnsley in December.

No chance of a top 6 finish in my opinion...but would be delighted to be proved wrong.

Big Erns Prediction - 9th

[Alan Partridge]

If Coppell gets a team without a left back and with Jimmy Kebe on the right hand side in the top 6 then the guy really is a genius.

[londinium]

Top two yes

My prediction 1st by about 6/7 points from Ipswich.

[The 17 Bus]

If Coppell gets a team without a left back and with Jimmy Kebe on the right hand side in the top 6 then the guy really is a genius.

But Copps s ays we have someone lined up if Shorey goes.

And Kebe is gonna shine this year.

Boredom! I'll be at Forest and fine once the season starts. Personally I don't feel like being positive or negative just for the sake of it, just comment on what i see and at this moment in time I'm personally not seeing a lot of good in what RFC are doing. I think it was 'RichiRoyal' who posted up his views on another thread which i found hard to disagree with. Coppell is the one I'm disappointed in, having listened to him speak really well at the forum, admit to errors and say what needed to be done. Seriously even in my cynical self of last season the 'positivity' was back. Looked forward to the Derby match, it wasn't to be but I was quite looking forward to this summer. Like everyone else we all knew change was inevitable it was a case of how much. Would Doyle go? Lita? sonko? Shorey? Harper? Bit out of the blue it being Little and Kitson and soon to be Shorey. I am stunned that he STILL after a year and a bit hasn't replaced Glen Little, and N Hunt certainly isn't a 'like for like' replacement for DK. Knowing of Coppell's admiration for Kits and how he has told us about his size and presence 'being totally different to the other 3' I find it strange that he hasn't got a 'big man' in the squad.

In all honesty at the moment I find it hard how anyone can support Coppell's decisions over transfer and the squad as it stands. Especially when Shorey goes if no one is brought in. You can't play a season without a natural left sided defender. This isn't park football, where you can just convert someone and ask someone to fill in, they will be up against professional right wingers who will tear our makeshift full back whoever it is apart.

Come sunday I'll be at Forest and will give them my support as ever, as to finishing in the top 6? At this stage I wouldn't give them much hope being brutally honest.

[strap]

No. We will do exactly as we did in Sir Steve's 1st 2 years in Div 2. i.e. somewhere 9th to 7th. We will be in with a shout of the play-offs going into the last few games, but will blow it by losing at home to Birmingham, (the eventual Champs), and losing a lead at Norwich in the last minute.

NoTW have us as Champs, and The Sun has us third. Reason enough to believe we'll be nowhere!

Trouble is, after Birmingham, I can't really see anyone of quality. Sheff Utd have a little bit of a chance, Ipswich are talking the talk pre-season, and Wolves are always a threat on paper. But seriously, where is the quality in this division? Oh, and don't say at the Mad Stad!!

[Scarface]

Sorry, but with Coppell in charge I can only see us getting worse and finishing mid table.

I bet Steve Coppell resigns during the season.
