Coming into this season I was not particularly optimistic - I just didn't feel the quality of our squad was particularly good compared the rest of the league. My brother bet me that we'll go down with the record low points tally, whereas I just think we'll go down with maybe 25ish points.

How many points do we think we can realistically get? I'm 100% sure we're one of the worst teams in the league, but I'm also fairly confident at some point we'll go on a little run.
