BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 5th place will get CL this coming season? Or is that from the season after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 6th is probably our maximum given the amount of conference leagues games were are going to have to play because we are going to win that competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Top six would be fantastic, it’s continuous league progression. We all want cup runs too so it will be a challenge, but part of me just wonders whether we can continue our form from last season. I don’t think the wider observers think we’ll be as good, but If we can then we could be looking at a CL spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I genuinely think that second is achievable. City will probably finish top again, unless something unforeseen happens. After that, the gaps between the squads starts to get much closer. Fortune and injuries will play a big part in where those teams finish but the other key factor is the quality of the coaching team. Ours is the second best in my view, behind City. That could be the difference that gets us higher than anyone expects. In Unai we trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Returning to 1995-96 again we had a slim chance of the treble as late as about March. Won the league cup and were in the semi final of the FA Cup. Finished 4th despite our league form really faltering towards the end. What I'm trying to say is a cup run does not necessarily mean the league gets sacrificed, especially when you have a proper squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gambling companies will have looked at last season's league position and then popped Chelsea and Spurs back to their 'rightful' positions - pushing us down from 7th to 9th. I doubt there's been much movement yet from actual money bet to change those odds, but in any case there's hardly any swell of opinion, outside of our fan base, that thinks we're about to bust into the top 4 or 5. On the upside, I think the longer we remain under the radar, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2023 Sshhh people are starting to notice. I preferred being under the radar I agree with what he says, except for the moment Grealish scored against West Ham being the turning point. The turning point and build for this has been in motion since the day NSWE walked through the door. We couldn’t do what we’re doing this summer without the building blocks beforehand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently 5th gets it this season. Can't prove that though, just what I have read. So possibly up to 8th for European places this season then?, 7th is guaranteed?

lexicon Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 We need to temper expectations as I think we'll be trying hard to win the Conference. I'd take a conference win and top 10, no worries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be based on how well the English sides do this year rather than last season unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two associations who obtain the most coefficient points in the 2023-24 season will each have one extra spot into the group stage. So there's the possibility of 5, definitely. But not guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I believe we can finish as high as 3rd, however I think we will finish between 6-8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
