9th-13th Expect a bad start before stability and hopes of the playoff, before tailing off again at the end.
For me we needed an overhaul, but for that needed to start from 5th May on. Ship out the old guard, raise funds and rebuild with a younger team that had several of the best of the Championship Too many players, who bombed, are being polished to go again. (Beharinho should have been moved-on, excluded or shot. Every attempt made to shift Adam, Fletcher, Diouf, Imbula, Bojan + Ireland, Johnson etc Young players loaned. Mistakes not addressed, notably not buying players early enough. (The stats on this, to me, are compelling on the volume and speed that recently promoted teams have generally recruited at: 8 new faces and 80% of business done by now) Set against this, Rowett will be too organised to have us in trouble We have more quality than most (though we won't be automatically be a better team just because they don't have household names), but the team will take time to gel as the new team will need to learn on the job

We cant predict now, after the transfer market deadline may be.
At least to know how teams like Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, WBA, Swansea, Stoke City will line up.

We will finish on 19th May still wondering how our astute transfer team are still in their very highly paid jobs at our club.

Top 2
Very confident we will be promoted š

I was waiting for the end of the transfer window to see our final team/squad. However the longer the window has gone and the nearer we get to the Leeds game, the less confident I've become, particularly with the lack of new signings, and the dead wood still at the club.
So I'm hoping for an optimistic 4th to 6th, but I'm honestly expecting 8th to 10th - after all we are Stoke and we never make things easy for ourselves do we ?
Hope I'm totally wrong and we absolutely dominate the league and get promotion sorted as early as possible.

You know those teams that go through the transfer window and buy loads of players and start the season with practically a whole new team? They tend to have problems getting everyone to gel and they often do really badly.
My major concern is that if we do get all of our rumoured targets and then follow that with a load of departures, we may have that problem. I could see us missing even the play-offs.
If however we hit the sweet spot where our premiership players are remotivated and our new players fit in and add something new, then we should get automatic promotion or hit the play-offs at least,

At best, a scraped 7th if we continue with the Scholes-Cartwright pissing-in-the-wind strategy.
