Early 2014-15 predictions

Regrettably, it's impossible to answer the question with ANY sort of confidence until we see IF Nigel is supported in the transfer market by the Board.

I know I'm being cynical but I've heard it soooo many times from United's Board that the manager will be supported with funds to build for promotion. I will believe it when the players are signed either permanently or on loan !! It is not necessary to spend a fortune on players in this Division, but its tricky to be consistent and get out.

However, if we can hold onto players like Harry & Murphy, if we can bring in 2+ decent strikers and a replacement for Doyle, if we can bring in a decent commanding centre half with some pace, if we can tempt Coady & Brayford back on a season loan, if we can find another creative influential midfield player ( either CM or wide); then we may have the potential to consider ourselves automatic promotion material.

If we cannot do the above, then its likely to be a similar position to this year, in my opinion.

Are we all still feeling as confident?

We sure are. Best manager and a decent squad who are beginning to click. A few choice loans, top 6 by Christmas and a significant dabble in the Jan transfer window sees us home in top 2.

I'll take this as a no because 1st had over 50% of the vote when I first bumped the thread.

This makes an interesting read. Also, where people thought we would finish at the end of last season...

Glad I didn't';t have that bet
