Personally I haven't see too many predicting top 4, although considering we finished 7th last year before the break, isnt 4th-6th what we should be targeting with out improved squad? It's the like Rovers targeting 7th/8th isn't it?

If be happy with 2/3 more wins so that we are closer to the top 4 at the split. The position doesn't really matter if we aren't in the top 4, it's how many points we have compared to the others.

Every year I see and hear similar dumb comments. I'd love to meet these thousands of fans, because none of the fans I know ever "predict top 4". I know plenty who would love a top 4 finish, but if fans from other teams can't differentiate between "hoping" and "predicting" then I guess our education system in West Hull isn't quite as bad as in other areas.

It's a prediction thread , hence the title '2016 predictions '

On this thread, more than 50% of posters are predicting top 4? Goodness me.

Well in that case, in 2016 I predict lots of boring trolling by boring rovers fans with nothing better to do.

It's not trolling , but nice try.
Simply pointing out that the majority of posters have you nailed on for fourth minimum , and all but one has you in the top six

What are the actual numbers? (I can't be bothered to check).

7 of the first 10 predicted 4th

Is that it? Is that really the basis of your whole argument? Dave Gorman did a pretty good rant about that sort of survey.

Let me just say that I was talking rugby with a rovers fan and he's concerned about relegation. So using your model I'm perfectly right in stating that 100% of rovers fans (who expressed a view at that time) think they're getting relegated.

Could be wrong but feel free to correct.
