2017/18 prediction thread(harmless fun)


Sexydadbod

Recommended Posts

Yes folks, it's that time of year where you need to rise and shine to make your predictions for the upcoming season that is sure to be packed with thrills and spills. Yes I know that it's only June but that's what makes predictions more fun and spooky. The players are back for the start of pre season this forthcoming week so there's no reason why you shouldn't also do your pre season training by working your fingers contributing to this forum, although it's good to see that many have kept in shape in the off season by contributing to the other threads such as the WH19 saga(Will Hughes).

It goes without saying that we hope that the flop of the season and first player to get a major injury categories don't happen, unless of course you are a lurker on this forum who supports another team. If that's the case then I hope the next time it rains, a car drives past and splashes you with water.

Right that's enough of the jibber jabbering, let's get to the predictions:

Top scorer: Chris Martin-16 goals

Player of the season: Andre Wisdom

Young player of the season: Max Lowe

Most improved player of the season: Bradley Johnson

Breakthrough player of the season: Timi Max Elsnik

Flop of the season: Scott Carson(sorry Scotty but you won the player of the season last season which means you are now cursed, just be kind and try not to make too many errors yeh)

First player to get a major injury this season(since it's tradition that we have at least major casualty a season): David Nugent-leg break in September. He's a tough cooky though so he'd be back by January at the latest.

How many managers will we have this season: 1

Where will Derby finish: 5th-losing at Wembley to Aston Villa

 

Other championship based predictions: 

Top 6:  1. Middlesborough    2. Norwich    3. Aston Villa   4. Hull     5. Derby    6. Sheffield Wednesday  

Play offs: Derby v Hull- Derby win on penalties

               Aston Villa v Sheffield Wednesday- Aston Villa win

               Final: Aston Villa 2 Derby 1

Relegated 3:  22. Burton  23. Millwall   24. Bolton

Dark Horses: Sheffield Utd and Brentford

Flops of the season(teams): Sunderland, Fulham and Reading

Right that's enough of the jibber jabbering, let's get to the predictions:

Top scorer: Vydra 17 goals

Player of the season: Johnson (becomes a bit of a cult hero and we understand why Norwich fans turnip love the guy)

Young player of the season: Max Lowe

Most improved player of the season: Vydra

Breakthrough player of the season: Timi Max Elsnik

Flop of the season: Wisdom as he looks disjointed at CB and Baird keeps the RB spot all season proving age is just a number.

First player to get a major injury this season(since it's tradition that we have at least major casualty a season): George Thorne

How many managers will we have this season: 1

Where will Derby finish: 6th

 

Other championship based predictions: 

Top 6:  1. Boro   2. Wendies    3. Reading   4. Weeds     5. Norwich    6. Derby

Play offs: Derby v Reading - Spirited in each leg, Rowett's committed Derby side fall just short, being undone by a moment of magic.

               Leeds v Norwich - Norwich win with a touch of class and the football world rejoices (whilst Sky sports are puzzled as to how their wall to wall welcome back to the premier league Leeds Utd could possibly have got it wrong)

               Final: Reading 1 - 3 Norwich (Martin and Johnson shed a tear in the stands)

Relegated 3:  22. Sheff utd  23. Grimsby  24. Milwall

Dark Horses: Wolves and Bristol (my lovely)

Flops of the season(teams): Sunderland (beyond everyone's expectations), Sheffield utd, Hull.

Top scorer: Chris Martin-23 Goals

Player of the season: Curtis Davies

Young player of the season: We don't have any unless he starts playing academy products (unlikely) or you can win the award sitting in the treatment room (Lowe). I suppose Thorne is the next youngest, so he can win it.

Most improved player of the season: Butterfield

Flop of the season: Anya

First player to get a major injury this season(since it's tradition that we have at least major casualty a season): Its usually Forsyth, so I guess he is a safe bet.

Looks like Bent was our first major casualty then. Would have been nice to have a full season without any major injuries but that was realistically never going to be the case. I'm going to adapt my top 6 slightly. I can't see us making the top 6 so Brentford to make the top 6 instead of us.
