evanioJust thought again….. think it will be fun and successful.
111 points successful, obviously not.
Just being realistic, you ought to try it sometime..
I’m unrealistic because I think we’ll be successful?
I guess it’s then how success is defined.
I think we’ll challenge the top 6 and IMO, that is worth considering as successful.
I think Ipswich came straight up, I think we could, But its hard to say no to a guaranteed play off spot
I think there's an equal chance between us finishing 2nd and us finishing 13th.
It's too early to say. Right now? I'd be delighted with 6th.
I’d take 6th at this stage but think many are overrating the championship we weren’t much good for years but rarely got battered .
To early to say but contrary to what some say this years team would have finished top half in my opinion. Baggies finished there and I watched a few of their games.

I think we’ll challenge the top 6 too but I’ve answered yes to guaranteeing it.
This is where I stand too.
Do I want to settle for 6th? Not really, I'd love us to aim for top 3 and think with the right recruitment we have a shot at it.
But - thinking long term as a club, coming 6th next season pretty much guarantees:
1) We've established ourselves as a force to be reckoned with in the championship,
2) We've had another cracking year, will have won lots at home and will have build on the momentum for this season,
3) We still have a shot at playoff promotion,
4) We'll be aiming for top 2 the season after if we don't go up,
5) It'll be more proof for any backers/sponsors of where we are heading, allowing us to get more and more revenue in as people want to join the project.
I get people not wanting to be second best, and I get people saying Wagner wouldn't settle for it either. But the Project is a long game. We're not looking to get to the prem and sell off (like BIH might have been). We're looking to establish ourselves as a top, top side in the country. 6th place guarantees we are one season closer to that end goal (compared to say a 10th place finish if we got plagued with injuries).
if we get the summers in and outs correct then there is no reason why we can't challenge for the top 6. we are a club on the up finally doing things the right way. Bristol City are bang average as are so many in the championship. I'd fancy us against any team next season if we finished in the top 6
