Many of you were adament that this was a season of consolidation and mid table would be a fine.I of course said anything but promotion was failure.So here we are in November sitting fourth with a new manager what are your expectations now?
Surely anything but promotion is failure in everybody eyes now?

I said in the summer that anything less than automatic promotion and I would slash my wrists. I still say the same now.
I am very confident I will not have to carry out my threat.
When little Dennis left I was of the opinion that unless the Board appointed a half whit or shaved a monkey and made it manager or something along those lines, that whoever they appointed we should still get automatic promotion. I am pleased to say Paul Sturrock is considerably better than a shaved monkey.

Good thread Yeovil.
I said play offs was the bare minimum.
It still is, but we really should be going up automatically. It would be something on a failure on Sturrocks part if he failed to achieve this - given the position we are in, the squad we have, and the length of time Sturrock has to work with the existing players and recruit his own.

I think I began by thinking mid table and battling for the play offs (based on our squad).
The results at the start suprised me, recent form is what I expected, but I do think Sturrock will mould a winning team. It won't be pretty but I now think we'll be play offs challenging for the top 3. I haven't seen them, but results wise Walsall look a good bet for top spot.

Top 3 at the least, personally I want the title. Walsall havent had a big blip yet they will at some point and Sturrock by that point will have us on fire and marching up the league.  |

Automatics for me... You have to get out of this division straight away or become Bristol Rovers.

I think we will get our automatic promotion, but can't help but think it would be better for the club financially to go up through the playoffs.
Not to mention a great day out in cardiff!!
So i'm kind of hoping we end up 4th and then destroy the playoffs.

Put £150.00 on us to go up as Champions before the season started at 9/1.
Think I might have lost my dosh, but I still expect automatic promotion.

I said it then, and I'll say it again.
Anything less than Champions and I'll be dissapointed

Pre-Wise I'd have snapped at mid-table given the record of recently relegated sides in the division.
Setting sights a little higher I'd say top three has to be on the cards.
