2022/23 season predictions

[Graz]

I feel like I'm usually an optimist, but Kasper going, no new signings and now already starting with Ricardo and Barnes injured is really not making me feel excited or positive about this season in anyway.

Avoiding injuries is the one hope for our season to be improved on last year, and it's not a good sign so far. Plus Vardy and Evans will presumably play less games again, and no one can convince me we're not weaker with Kasper being replaced by Ward/Iversen

I said before we could finish anywhere between 5th and 17th. I'm revising that down to 10th-18th. Still don't think we'll go down - but depends how bad this season's injuries get.

Where will we finish: 12th
Top scorer (and no. of goals): Vardy 14
Player of the season: Maddison
Best young player: Fofana
Most disappointing player (old or new): Perez
Most improved player: Praet
How far will we go in the FA Cup: 5th round
How far will we go in the League Cup: quarter finals
Best result of the season: 4-0 Forest at home
Worst result of the season: 1-6 Man City away
Will Rodgers still be manager at the end of the season? yes
What will be The Mercury's headline following the final game of the season? Vardy bows out
Who will win the league: Man City
Who will get relegated: Fulham, Bournemouth, Forest
Will any 'other' team break into the Top 6: no

I don’t think we will go down, so this isn’t wibble, but our range of potential finishes does 100% include 18th.

This season could well be a horror show, the last couple of weeks have not made for an ideal start. Let’s hope not, but for me I have no idea how this season will go.

I wonder whether we'll see BR leave this season. Particularly without the transfer backing he wanted.

If another club comes in for him he’d be gone quickly. If he hadn’t made a bit of a hash of last season I think he’d already have moved on.

Everton?

I just thought I’d be different

 

[Blue Maniac]

Everton?

Dele Alli mate

 

[homer]

There’s different, and there’s “different”

I’ve been thinking the same. I’m sure he’s thinking there isn’t much else he can do here given the situation. Can’t see who he’d leave us for in the Prem though. Newcastle if they have a bad start? Abroad? Atalanta?!

 

[jb5000]

The England job may well come up this winter, possibly only to be filled from the end of the season. Brendan would be a good fit, and can claim he took us as far as possible with the finances available with a certain degree of truth. Clubwise, I don't think he's done enough to get back to the elite nor can I think of a club who'd take him and also give him the chance of breaking into the elite

Newcastle has long been my thought. Don’t think it would take much for them to ditch Howe and, provided we aren’t really struggling, I could easily see them coming in for him.

Howe about a Rodgers/Howe swap?

No chance

Make sense to me too

 

[jb5000]

No chance

I can't think of a British manager better qualified, and when I think of well qualified overseas coaches who know England well I can only think of Mourinho and that terrifies me. Southgate might bring it home in December though, in which case it's all moot
