5 predictions for next season

[westchestertonbear]

Prediction - just like last season we will regret our lack of goal scoring forwards.

[Andrewlang]

Pre-season has been quite interesting for the spread of goals so hopefully we can share the scoring out a little better than we did last year. On paper I think we've improved our chance creation with additions like Andrew, Thomas, Cousins and Kaikai and with two new players to add to the mix I'd like to hope we'll be ok. Better than last season anyway.

My prediction is that we won't finish between 14th and 20th.

We have signed a lot of injury prone talent this summer. We've rolled the dice to try to move forward as a club despite obvious budget constraints and I think if we keep our big players fit, we might even sneak a top half finish.

But if the gamble backfires and all the sicknotes call in sick, we're down.

Because I live in a world of permanent CUFC pessimism (all hope and zero expectation) my prediction is that we're going to get relegated.

But if we don't, I think we'll push on as a club and finish higher than we did in 21/22.

I can also confidently predict someone on here will say:

"We should never have let [Smith] [Knibbs] [Mitov] [Jones] go", as if we had some kind of choice in the matter. It's mad how many people seem to think all the released players were let go because we didn't want them, rather than because they'd made it clear they were going elsewhere.

1. Fejiri to score more league goals than the Gassman.

2. Adam May to win the POTS gong. 

3. Lennett  will sign for a lower mid table Championship side in January. The fee will be undisclosed (£250,000). 

4. Brophy to have <5 attempts on target in 46 league games. 

5. Reading will loan Knibbs back to us. 

bonus prediction - 'Abbey Access' will prove to be money well spent as we get one of the big boys in the 3rd round of the Fa Cup (big boys as in Liverpool/Man City/Wrexham/Walsall)

1. Fans to complain about Bonner, even when we finish 14th.

2. We will beat Boro twice

3. Pissy little Cambridge will beat the Disneyland Dragons in the FA Cup. Paul Mullin may be mentioned.

4. I'll still love this town, despite comments on here.

5. Dion Dublin is alright, I suppose...

It is spelled differently. Either could flatten you. Ryan-o rhymes with Morro. Good for chants.

Bonner won’t last the season.

We will be relegated

Liam Bennett will leave in January.

Ben Worman will re-sign on a short term deal at some point.

We’ll do the double over Posh.

1/5.

1) We finish rock bottom

2) Lennett leaves in January to someone odd like Lincoln instead of a much bigger club

3) One of Betsy/Corr is sacked mid season

4) Plans for a new ground actually come out

5) We announce a European pre season tour at the end of the season (to annoy me as I'm off to the euros)

First 2 no chance

3rd one - potential but might have got the timeline wrong

4th and 5th, we're still on although i'd be more confident with the serpent in charge

1. Jack Lankester to be stand out player in the no 10 role and score 15 plus goals

2. We get Wrexham in the FA Cup, get on TV and it’s a Mullin fest. He gets a good reception but we beat them

3. Redevelopment plans are finally announced but people moan about the plans.

4. Boro end up in administration. Ferguson leaves and is replaced by McCann.

5. We finish around 14th and season is more enjoyable and less stressful than last year

0 for me but 4 could still come true….

1. We will sign a former player on loan in January. Possibly someone who joined a big club in L1 but due to the club having financial difficulties and the player not producing the goods, Bonner offers them a chance to come ‘home’.

2. There will be 1 basket case team/club that occupies a relegation spot for the most of the season like FGR, Donny and Crewe in previous L1 seasons.

3. Our 3 main CB’s Bennet, Morrison and Rossi will get 10 goals between them due to some excellent set piece deliveries.

4. Janneh will become a valuable squad member.

5. We get knocked out of the FA cup at the first attempt but go on a good run in the pizza cup.

Could I be any more wronger!!!!

I’m embarrassed about my Janneh prediction.
