Current Optimism Level

Change your vote as/when.

I'm feeling pretty optimistic at the moment... I'd say a 7.

We apparently have a few quid to spend this summer, sign some full backs, keep Grealish, some pace out wide and someone like Liam Delap and I think we'll be top 7.

If we do sneak into that Conference League, I just hope we don't allow our recruitment to go down depth rather than quality - we made that mistake under Koeman.

I never allow myself to get above a 7, because Everton.

I agree - keep a steady ship don't make too many big changes with team or management. The league is so thight that clubs that try to alter to much at once will fail as we know too well and Tottenham is learning fast. Some of the clubs above us will make the same mistake and with sound management we are perfectly placed to take advantage like Villa is already doing.

The only thing worth it in football is winning trophies. I scored that possibility a very optimistic '4'.

We're miles and miles off that.

Just checking, were you also a 4 when we never came close to winning anything under Martinez?

I don't reckon this forum will last as long as the season tbh, not with all theses adblockers

2/10

Like a fool I wondered who would have voted as low as 4.

Best I've felt for years about our beautiful club.

I went for 10, steady progress. A trophy in the next three seasons would be nice.

I'm usually the glass half empty kind but there's something about Everton thats changes all that.

We are five points off a Champion's League spot - why are we "sneaking into the Conference League"?

Win 8 out of the next 9 and we are there.

That's the thing I appreciate about you Dave, is that you're grounded in your perspective...

We are outside of qualification with Arsenal, Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool in the next 4. All above us in the league.

God damn these hidden polls DANIEL

Wouldn’t put it past us to win a few of them though, but only to go and then get beat by wham, palace, sunlun and spurs, because Everton.

We're Everton not Halifax Town. We should measure progress in terms of silverware.

Probably a generational thing.

Even the 7th place trophy?
