Inaugural 'Predict our goal difference at the end of the season' challenge

[AnotherLondonManc]

Now that we're at -3, will ETH be up to the monumental task of turning this around and finishing on a positive goal difference, or is that a step too far for this group?

For reference, these are our most recent results:

23/24: -1
22/23: 15
21/22: 0
20/21: 29

On form, we're 50/50 to end up with a positive goal difference.

The eternal optimist that I am, I'm prediciting we beat the spread and end on a massive +1

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

We’re at -3 right now and if ETH remains in charge I’d expect it to be similar come the end of the season.

 

[sebsheep]

It's going to be a fantastic season.
+7

 

[sullydnl]

+14.

 

[Moriarty]

-6

 

[Sarni]

Between -5 to +2 with ETH in charge. Probably +20 or better with a proper manager.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

-2

 

[Annihilate Now!]

With ETH -5

With a different/competent manager I think we'll be in the teens, maybe the 20s!

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

With ETH: -2
Change in manager: +10

 

[UnRational]

ETH in charge +1

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

+1

Is that your guess or are you agreeing with @Who's Kissing Cameras?

 

[pcaming]

-5

 

[Lu Tze]

+9

 

[stevoc]

I'm feeling positive +5

 

[DJ_21]

+10. Little bit hopeful that things may start to click eventually.

 

[Physiocrat]

Zero

 

[Based Adnan]

Assuming he somehow manages to survive the season, -4

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Between -5 to +2 with ETH in charge. Probably +20 or better with a proper manager.

This

 

[LInkash]

-5

 

[Duffer1953]

With no recognised centre forward Ras still learning where are the goals coming from? 0 or -1 again

 

[Red Royal]

+9

 

[Dannn411]

With Ten Hag, -10.

Without Ten Hag, +5.

With a proper manger, +15

 

[Tony247]

I see we will improve this season. +1.

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

It'll be negative until he is axed. After that, who knows.... 20+ should realistic? Depends what kind of hole we're in.

 

[golden_blunder]

If ETH is to stay, I’d hope that at least around +6

Small gains and all that

 

[paulscholes18]

-6

 

[Desert Eagle]

+4

 

[yumtum]

+33

 

[AnotherLondonManc]

+33

The is the total goal difference thread, not the number of goals we'll score this season.

We've scored 2 goals in 3 games though, so this could be a pretty accurate guess for that

 

[spwd]

We’re at -3 right now and if ETH remains in charge I’d expect it to be similar come the end of the season.

About what I think. But if he's booted (asap) I'd go with + 18

 

[SouthernRedDev]

I dont imagine we will score to differently to last year, hopefully we should be a bit more defensively sound. +14

I'm hoping for a new manager to come in and use these players effectively, so pure optimism on my behalf, would be nice to see attractive football for a change.

(plus just to be clear).

 

[tomaldinho1]

+21

[Its all gone Shane Long]

+16
Do we get a prize for predicting correctly?

 

[SamYourEye]

+11

 

[brewers]

+22

 

[Red4ever27]

-5. Relying too much on the potential and development from our younger players to produce in front of goal consistently. Add to that Ten Hag cannot get the balance of the team right to save his life and it's looking pretty grim. Rashfords decline and Brunos odd bit of world class add to the woes
