Woodcote Royal To escape relegation last season we had to ride high in the current form tables so why so many think we can't achieve mid table is beyond me and I doubt it's what Chelsea were thinking when they left the Mad Stad.
We have some fantastic young players and much scope for them to thrive. FFP could unwittingly make for an excellent excellent season and a lot of money in the process. Can't wait!

Snowball I think there are a few as-yet unknowns.
Will the goalkeeping be good enough? The back four look solid with VG cover but it might be hard to keep the four CBs happy
If we get a striker, or one of our current strikers can get a Blackman-Like purple patch, then almost anything is possible.
But really I see this season as one for trying to stay clear of danger while developing our special crop of kids so that NEXT season we could have a real crack. No matter how good Loader WILL BE, he is going to develop a lot over this season and the next. It's hard to imagine he will be anywhere near a 20-goal striker THIS season.
Olise, Barrett etc all look to have great promise, but 46 crunching games, league cup, FA Cup, that's hard.
We actually look like a squad where the manager has tough choices and Gomes will have some sleepless nights.
From what I've seen so far I don't think we'll be in the bottom 4/5, and I doubt we'l make the top six, not so much talent-wise, but in terms of momentum/weight/the grind.
I could see a few 6/7/8 game runs where we look special.
But having said all the above, are we sure Moore is staying? Will we yet lose Loader or Olise? Will Nova go? It will be slightly easier to predict when the transfer window shuts. A cheeky 8-9 million bid for Moore with the money up front, I think we'd have to say yes, resolve FFP and still have Miazga, Morrison, McIntyre... Blackett
If that happened, would we all change our predictions?
