1st obviously.
But if you ask where do I think we will finish, I think 17th or below based on the current squad. Lets see who else comes in or departs before I can give my prediction.
The current squad haven't played in anger yet so a bit early to be saying that. Ok, so because I posted a prediction that may seem negative to you, you say its a bit early to say it. But all the others who have predicted is not a bit early for them because its more positive looking? Strange that! Even stranger that I even said I wont give an actual predictions as its too early where there could be more departures and hopefully more in-comings, so I am unsure why you are telling me its a bit early (and not to anyone else) when I even said the same thing myself
If its the case of me saying based on current squad we will finish 17th or below that upsets you, I am interested in knowing why you disagree with this. I am basing it on the fact that we have just 2 strikers. You know, the very people who should get the majority of our goals! One being Nichols who scored 1 league goal last season and so far doesnt look like he has actually improved either (I really hope I am wrong) and Reilly who apparently is injured so may not be fit to start the season and has never played in England before. So, now be honest with yourself, does this strike you with confidence for a mid table or higher finish? We may have a solid defence and midfield but 46 0-0 draws will not make us end mid table or higher. No chance. Hence my comment 17th or below based on what we currently have.

Aspiration = 1st
Realisation = 10th

I always hope we still have something positive to play for come April.
As for final position you always have to hope they improve on last seasons position but I think we will be mid-table, lower if we don't get a decent striker in.

20 goals from a striker and we will comfortably make playoffs : )

We could have amazing defence and midfield but majority of goals are scored by the strikers and common sense would suggest that what we have wont get enough goals for a mid table or higher finish. Not sure how you or anyone else cannot get this.

Most people are not answering the OP's question correctly. He asked "Where would you like us to finish "? Not where you think we will finish ? There is a difference.

In that case , I would like us to finish as champions with the league tied up by Christmas and celebrating promotion on New Year’s Day at home against burton!!!!

Unless we get in at least one quality striker I think we're in for a struggle this season.

Because the season hasn't started yet!!!! Lets say we have no more arrivals or departures and the window shuts. So we just have 2 strikers. 1 who is injured and unknown when he will return and hasn't play at our level before or even in England before. The other cant score in a brothel. So basically, the squad as it is.... do you think we will manage mid table or above? This should be interesting, if you answer of course!

What final position would you like to see us in at the end of the season i will start off by saying the same as last year and I think anything else will not show an improvement on last season so Top 10 with a positive goal difference Somewhere around 12th unless one of two options:- 1 ) Clarke learns to play a settled team ( " A winning team picks itself!! ) without weekly changes in players and formations or 2 ) Clarke is replaced by Christmas. I sincerely hope that it is option 1 ) in which case 'top 10 finish.

Mid table, and happy at that, like I said previously. Interesting enough for you?

According to the Rovers web site even allowing for Gaffney, Telford and Harrison leaving the squad still has 7 strikers. Gaffney and Harrison being already replaced by Rodman and Reilly. Clarke has stated he is looking to strengthen the number of strikers even further. You thus appear to be basing you thoughts on incorrect data. Perhaps a half empty fan rather than half full.
