Does anyone believe we can get automatic promotion next season, or will we be fighting to make the playoffs?

I'll tell you in about 2.5 months
This won't surprise many but i don't think we will be good enough. However i think we should be good enough to make the play offs again,and that is the first time i have predicted that since forever.
If we started the season with the squad that finished last season, then I think top two would be a possibility.
We must remember though that only one auto spot is up for grabs - Forest nailed on for one of them - according to them
However with Thorne and Wisdom gone, we've got it all on to just replace those guys with "equals".
If we started next season with the squad as it stands today, then bottom playoff spot would be a major achievement.
It's all down to Steve's recruitment successes, holding onto our better players and similar luck with injuries to key players.
I think we should have a much better idea at the end of the transfer window.

Just hoping we can make the play offs again!
I really don't think I could take another Wembley play off final. My nerves we're shot to bits. Auto would be nice but it will also be very difficult.
Really? I haven't heard any Forest fans saying that, your COO on the other hand.Originally Posted by Rob_the_Ram
There are no threads on our board entitled 'Automatic Promotion 2014-2015'.
I know that you all like to think that Forest fans are arrogant but you may want to look at your own club and fans first!!!
Whilst I totally understand the clamour for George Thorne to sign, I think its crazy to consider him 'essential'.
He only played for seven games at the end of the season, whereas good old John Eustace provided the backbone for the majority of the season and our place in the play offs was as good as nailed on before Thorne entered the fray.
Whilst I agree that Thorne definitely looks the part and adds some additional forward momentum to the team, I am far more concerned by the gaping hole at right back left by the departure of Wisdom.
I think a lot of Rams fans underestimate just how much solidity Wisdom gave us.
If we could only have one of our loanees back it would be Andre for me, then I think we could be on for the play-offs minimum.
