Pilgrim’s progress? Where will we finish next season?

pastiesforlife · May 31, 2021

While we all hope for an improvement next season, the bookies odds have us down to finish 18th again, the same as last season. First show is 33/1 for Argyle to win the league.

Current favourites at 7/1 are Sunderland and Sheffield Weds (poor value as the club seems to be in chaos).

Surprisingly Bolton are 16/1 foot the league but favourites for relegation are the other three teams to be promoted, plus Accy and Wimbledon.

Silly to bet so early and before player signings but what are people’s thought on who will go up or down next season?

If Mayor and Grant re-sign and we take in a good back-up GK, a decent RB, 3 more decent CB's, a decent LB, another defensive midfielder, an attacking midfielder in the Friio/Sarcevic mould, an excellent target man and a back-up, I reckon we'll have a fair chance of a top half finish!

It will be a very tough season but on balance we should win it. :scarf:

I think there is every chance we will finish in the top 24

We have about 8 players so how anyone can have an opinion yet is beyond me.

I think that Lousy's opinion is spot on and I can't see why he can't express it. :scarf:

With the current squad I'm afraid it's bottom.of the table. Let's see who RL signs.

At Home Park or one of the other 23 grounds in League 1 or, possibly, even Wembley.

I’ve absolutely no stats to back this up, but I’m convinced that most teams which flirt with relegation generally improve the next season. It’s as though they’ve stared into the abyss and tried harder as a consequence.

For that reason I think that Argyle, Burton, Wimbledon and Wigan will finish mid-table.

Promotion, my bet is Rotherham, Pompey and Ipswich.

Relegation, Morecambe, Wednesday + 2 more I can’t guess.

And me.

This is as bad as those who were summing up the season with 6 or 7 games (where we barely got a point) still to play.

Hard to tell as yet as we've not actually able to field a proper team of XI players yet.

Clearly Lowe has identified the need to for proper defenders so I reckon we'll certainly improve on last season defensively. A lot may hinge on whether Mayor re-sins for me and who else we bring in. Also there are a lot of big clubs in League 1 this season who will undoubtedly be aiming for promotion.

To summarise my heart is saying we can finish just inside the top half but my head is saying 14-15th is more realistic. I'll make another prediction when we've signed players as I'm expecting at least 10 new faces.

To early to tell .let's see who signs on the dotted line first .

Atm I would say relegated based on who is in the squad and what positions need filling .

33-1 for winning the league I am off to the bookies, I do that bet every year. Green Army

Far too early for that sort of optimism Ken , think you should wait until we're 4 pts clear with 1game left .

Pilgrim’s progress? Where will we finish next season?
