I confidently predict

that....

MacDonald will score 17 goals
Elder will get 15
Connell will get 12
Poole will get 9

and that we will be promoted.

Bean will be immense, Dickson will progress and put in many miles.
Williams will often be injured and will find it a hard slog, KOC will be a bit part player who fills in as and when. Newton will be seen as an average defender but won't face anyone that good and will help drive us forward. Hamer will be as good as any keeper in our league.
I will be invited into the boardroom as a non BU member but because I am gorgeous, make nice cakes and am loyal.

I'm prepared to look a pr!ck but my crystal ball is working and I'm excited..:sorted:
 

I confidently predict

With three decent sized teams starting the season with massive points deductions - we're effective competing against just 20 other teams for promotion. There are 4 places up for grabs. Of that 20, the competition includes 1. Aldershot 2. Accrington Stanley 3. Morecambe 4. Barnet 5. Dagenham 6. Exeter 7. Macclesfield who we shouldn't even think about finishing below. Unless one of those 7 massively over achieves, that leaves 13 (if last season is anything to go by, very average) sides we are competing with for 4 promotion places.

We've just signed a very decent squad of players, with width, pace, a bit of power, and goals. We've also got rid of lots of dead wood. We'll never have a better chance than this season to get out of this hell-hole of a division ... and it'll be a scandal if somehow we manage to mess it up. I'm sure there will be a few ups and downs along the way, but I have every confidence we'll do it.

From what I've seen at the Pre-season games we have the best squad of players since the MA team, perhaps even better. We have players who are capable of playing attractive football, who can score goals and despite what some are saying I think our attack minded defenders will come to the fore.

This HAS to be our best chance of promotion, forget the play-offs , what AS has put together is a top 3 team.

I agree with your comments 100%. The thing is that there is not one team in Div 2 that scares me. Last season we had MK Dons and Peterborough. No one could have looked forward to there trips there.However, I'm not saying it will be a pushover for us,it never is with BFC, but with the squad that AS has put together I reckon we are more than capable of finishing in the top three.

Just to stop ypu crying into your beer NB ,I predict the Elder and Mac will score 35 goals between them. I also think at times we will sh*t ourselves with the defence,but in most of the games we will score more than the opposition.
OK now NB? :sorted:
 

I confidently predict

Stars;

Charlie Mac, to break 20 goals in all comps
Ademola, 10 league goals in first season
Mills, a Michael Turneresque debut season
Wood, overtakes Dickson as left back

Shockers;

Elder, still to register a home goal
Brown (Seb), makes home league debut only to concede two soft goals
Williams, injury prone season, more time on the treatment table than the pitch
Montague, on loan to Grays before season ends.
 

I confidently predict

GRIFFINPARK FORTRESS.

Hope so Nick that really would be the icing on the cake! Just seems a bit quiet and not too hot with his tackling. May improve as the team progresses.:idea:
 

I confidently predict

a good season with us floating between top place (briefly) and ninth and ending up in the play-offs. just.

and going up via the play-offs!

ademola to be worth a six figure sum by the end of the season despite being in and out of our side.
 

I confidently predict

Elder 15 goals
Connell 10 goals
Poole 10 goals
MacDonald 8 goals
Ademola 5 goals

Osborne to receive shedloads of stick but we get promoted on final day thanks to a 2-1 win over Luton, who have been relegated since March

108 goals!! I'd be well happy with that!
 

I confidently predict

www.fillyourboots.co.uk who predicted we would finish 3rd in the table also predicted Bury to win the title, so this Satarday is your 6-pointer so to speak!!! Bookies say 17-10 & 7-5 for home advantage so a draw would be an excellent result.

Your prediction was going soooo well until you said that you would be invited into the boardroom, unless you are moonlighting as a cleaner?
 

I confidently predict

I think we will get 73 (Seventy Three) points.
 

I confidently predict

Relegation by March but four years on we finish a mere 28 points behind rising stars Weymouth!

I confidently predict

Good thread....

I think that Poole and Connell will be sold in January, but for quite a bit of money (less so for Connell because he is in his last year of his contract), but that Ademola and Wood step into the side and we get promoted anyway.

I also think that Williams might spend time in and out of the treatment room, but that Newton looks more convincing at RM and that Kev steps into RB and performs very well.

The good thing about the squad that AS has assembled is that we are built to withstand DJ/Mahon-like January shocks...

Our star players will be .. Connell / Ademola / Bean / Smith
Newton doesn't live up to expectations and Kev makes the RB position his own.
Bees win auto promotion, Kevin Blackwell gets the tin tack and the Blades offer AS the job...........then ?

I confidently predict

Bees to be great going forward, Elder, Mac, Connell, Williams and Poole all to score double figures. However Newton and Mills not to shine as much as expected resulting in lots of high scoring games and a 4th place finish (its us isn't it!).

Bees to play Darlington in the Playoff Final, Moses coming off the bench, having been 3rd choice since Elder's knee injury in Feb, to score the winner in the 81st minute.

Connell goes to newly promoted Leeds in the summer for six figures.

I also have positive vibes about Ademola, and don't forget we will get a full season out of Gary Smith. I think there's alot more to come from this lad, we've all had glimpses of his class :bound:

:imwith: come on gents, let's have it. :D
 

I confidently predict

I fully expect this side to make automatic promotion.

Even allowing for the odd defensive catastrophe, the defence certainly has more mobility and should be able to contain most of the teams we will be up against.

The midfield looks to have depth, no shortage of skill and an ability to mix it if necessary, something lacking in recent years. I also expect Poole to continue to score 'Poole-like' goals and would like to think that Smithy will chip in with his fair share too.

Bean will be the bedrock of the team and is my main man for the coming season.

Add in the clear pace and skill down the flanks which will lead to lots of opportunities upfront, where Charley Mac should be knocking on the door of 20 goals by the end of the season.

Oh, and Royal Oak Bee and Banana will continue their saga.
nocoat will be demanding to be shown someone's growler.
Smiffy will still need to tell people that there's no U in .....
And Northampton will not make the directors box .... yet! :sorted:
 

I confidently predict

On the goals front I think I can see Charlie Mac scoring 20 plus. Connell between 10 and 15 and Elder around 10 along with Poole.

If he stays fit I think Marvin will lead the assist ranks for us.

Hamer will help keep around 10 clean sheets (unless Mads Bee and/or Claire corrupt the poor lad)

Andy Scott to win 2 or 3 Manager Of The Month awards although McCall for Bradford will probably get the overall one for the season.

Bean to have got the most MOM votes on here come the end of the season.

Also Marvin and Smith to get at least 5 goals each.

Reaching at least the 3rd Round of the FA Cup and Area Finals of the JP Trophy

Bring it on :sorted:

I had a tentative offer once but I am an outside sort of person. I like to swear and break wind when needed and sometimes I swear after breaking wind. The posh lot also do this but not at the football, I have had 2 free offers of corporate, the last one being at Sixfields upon our visit last season. I went mental when we scored and I was behind that goal, that is where one watches football and not in the warmth of a box IMO. I have plenty of time to be dead in a box.

3-1 win this weekend but if we lose we are still going up.

At least they have not got Luton getting promoted although if they manage to stay up after starting on -30 it will be a proper great escape. be interesting to see if Luton sell out most of their home games because of this.

I would've said automatic promotion if our centre-back problem had been sorted as I've been very impressed with our summer signings and pre-season form. However, the current shenanigans with Leigh Mills confirmed my suspicions the centre-back problem could run for another few weeks. But I have faith Scotty will have it sorted by the transfer window closes.
