Reading FC In 2017/18: Your Predictions & Expectations

Championship winners? Relegation fodder? Or somewhere in between? Is Big Jon Dadi going to be a goal machine? Will Joey van den Berg's reputation as a dirty player continue? We want to know your thoughts on how the campaign is going to pan out.

Expectations

On top of that, we asked you via social media the following, starting with which outcome you saw as most likely in 2017/18

Which is more likely? (2016/17 results shown in brackets)

Promotion - 23%

Top Half - 67%

Bottom Half - 8%

Relegation - 2%

Very few of you see this as a season of struggle for Reading with 90% thinking we’ll either be celebrating promotion or a comfortable top half finish.

Where will Reading finish?

1-8: 52% (24.1%)

9-16: 45% (65.3%)

17-24: 3% (10.6%)

Likewise, the most popular prediction for a finishing spot is inside the top eight, with only 3% feeling we’ll be in a relegation scrap. Overall you’re twice as confident heading into this season than last!

Will Jaap Stam still be manager at the end of the season?

Yes: 79% (88.1%)

No: 21% (11.9%)

A slight drop off in numbers here but given the shelf life of an average Championship Manager it’s not surprising to see a slight decrease.

So let us know your predictions and good luck!
