Realistic Expectations

So, we’re nine games in and currently stand in 13th place (only one point above the relegation zone though) and only 4 points from 8th.

Having had a difficult starting fixture list, the 10th game being another top 7 team from last season to come this weekend and a weakened squad through injuries, transfers and a certain lack of a transfer, we are where we are.

So, looking forward, a New Manager, new players getting fitter, up to speed and settling in especially Iborra, other players coming back from injury and at least one certain decent looking transfer ( we think but who knows)
Due to play at the next transfer window, and a reasonable fixture list at least for a while.

What are your hopes but also expectations now from LCFC.


I personally expect a decent mid table finish, anywhere from 9-12th place.

I hope with all things going right we can seriously push for 7-8th place.

What do you think?

Nothing but a top four finish this season and another title next season will suffice

FA Cup or League cup win back in Europe through that and above Totenham Hotspur please.

I’m accepting our fate of 13th this year. Such a shame we wasted our big opportunity to push on but for me it is about stabilising for this season now.

That said, Silva will come in and propel us in to the champions league. I just know it.

Now Claudes in post lets get behind him and the team.
,.
I'll stick with my pre season prediction, 9th and a cup if possible preferably a good run in the FA Cup, but the League cup is a distinct possibility.

and Nev finishing above Tottewnham could be a tad optimistic, but at least weve gone further than them in the
Caraboa. Think their team was as complacent as their fans last night , and they got ammered.

Realistically, we should still be aiming for a top 10 finish. Absolutely no reason why we can't achieve it and there have been signs of improvement in the last 2 matches against Swansea and Leeds.

And, let's not run before we can walk, but 7th place is very much achievable this season with Everton's decline. Whilst I can't see us getting that high, there's no reason we can't at least aspire to it.

More broadly, I hope that we don't become too defensive under Puel. My gut feeling is we won't because we have better attacking options than Southampton, and his Nice team were fairly attack minded from what I've heard.

I'm still hopeful we''ll pick up and climb the table, top ten doesn't look outrageously optimistic. We'll see what happens, starting on Sunday. I'd be happier if they hadn't sacked Koeman yet.

Psychologically a big game on sunday.
Win it and continues the upbeat mood and confidence whilst climbing the table. Everyone is happy and will proclaim CP is the best manager in the world.... lose it and we are doomed and relegated and CP was the worst appointment ever. oh and of course Rudkin will be to blame to for part of the defeat.... there's just no in between is there being a Leicester fan Al good fun though wouldn't have it any other way
