To be fair if you ask ChatGPT to predict the table it comes up with similar. Can't see Wrexham finishing in the top 6 if I'm honest and would swap them with Birmingham.
goodymatt Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Even with a points deduction for Leicester I can’t look past a top 5 of Ipswich, Saints, Sheffield United, Leicester and Birmingham. The 6th spot is harder to call but right now I would go for Coventry. I think Saints will finish 3rd and it will be the lottery of the playoffs again, but there’s a lot of transfer business to go that could change my prediction. Ask again in September!

I'm still doubtful that Leicester will get the points, they need the EFL to take on the case brought forward by the Premier League and I haven't read anywhere that suggests they have? It has been suggested they could get between 12-17 points if the EFL does act, which is massive and with a manager only being confirmed after the 1st July. I'd put them in midtable. Dark horse could be Preston, they've been quietly going about signing some half decent players..

Lighthouse Posted June 9 Posted June 9 We should have appointed Dyche. You can't defeat Preston without a bit of help from Sean.
JonnyOB Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) I started watching Saints in 1975. In my most humble of opinions, this was the worst squad I have ever seen Saints put together , I will settle for a season of re-building the basis for a promotion-chasing squad for 26/27 seasons. I don't think we will be anywhere near the top six in May 2026. The manager will surely tread with care and craft a squad that can play his football his way. He is starting with a squad that can't play football anyone's way. Edited June 9 by JonnyOB typo
Midfield_General Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) Saints promoted as runners-up to Sheffield United, getting pipped on goal difference on the last day of the season because we never win the league, whatever division we're in. Coventry to lose to Ipswich in the play-off final. We'll narrowly beat the Skates at theirs, and smash them at ours. Everyone will make a big deal of the Charlton games because of Jones but we'll beat them comfortably home and away. Leicester to start on -12, never get going and finish outside play-offs, causing their fans to go into meltdown over their ownership. Oxford, Wednesday and the Skates relegated.

If Wednesday manage to keep hold of Rohl I think he keeps them up. Unless they get a points deduction for not paying players that is…then all bets are off. Edited Monday at 18:39 by Saint Fan CaM

Of the players who started at least half of our games with have lost Mara, Che Adams, Stu A, and KWP. We have gained Ramsdale, Fernandes, Nathan Wood, Kayi Sanda, wellington, Taylor, Sugawara, Archer, brereton Diaz, onouachu, Dibling breaking through, Edwards, Shea Charles returning as player of the season, edozie after ok loan. Players will go, but as will signings arrive. We will be stronger than last promotion season....is the manager better or worse? Edited Monday at 18:55 by West end Saints
