Magister Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have endless arguments with my brother about what constitutes success for Latics. He says he will happy if we stay up this season and success would be finishing higher than for last 6 years ie 14th.( I think that is only one step up from being pleased to fulfill our fixtures) I have said success would be to score 60 goals , get 60 points and increase home support numbers by 5% What does the panel think ?

Stevie_J Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 From where we are now, avoiding relegation would be a success for this season. Generally, season to season, I would view signs of progress on and off the field as success, even if it's only small steps at a time.

bluear Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Top ten in a season would be a good result with our budget. Not quite as nice as promotion but it would take a very good manager/miracle worker to achieve that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddot_m Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just to have a chance of better and bigger things... Even it it doesn't come off... Hope! If we could loiter around 10th there is always the hope of a late charge to 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsChris Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Success is the same for us as any club: Improvement in the way of higher league positions, promotions and trophies. Any thing less is at best inertia and at worst decline. Inertia is tedious but is looking bloody ambitious at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Surviving while playing attacking, attractive football using a mix of our own youth and a few shrewd, experienced signings - and progressing far enough in the FA Cup to get a big draw. Actually, Ritchie's first year in charge is probably now what we should be aiming for. Jeez... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Enjoying the match day experience is what we're about. Let's be honest, the Championship is incredibly competitive. We're talking clubs with much bigger gates and resources than the old Division Two. For us, we should expect good football in comfortable surroundings. It also means competing in your home games.
