Who is getting relegated?


Surprised to see our name mentioned so often.

I think we could be challenging for the top half next season, but for that we do probably need to strengthen a few areas.

We've had a Top 4 Defence last season and once Keane was out of the side (Branthwaite had been injured) from about Mid September I think it was, we actually conceded the fewest goals in the league. Moyes also got 31 points in half a season when Dyche had us getting less than a point a game.

Moyes seems to have us as a very effective side again, and we've made the Alcaraz signing permanent. He played a big part from February onwards, supplying Beto mainly and obviously got the winner at SJP. We beat Forest and Newcastle away who at the time of playing them were both firmly in the hunt for CL Football.

Could be on for your best finish in years. Need to turn the new ground into a kind of fortress if you know what I mean. Somewhere where teams go and they know they're going to work hard to get anything. Goodison was always a place where a lot of the bigger teams would drop points.
 
Still a long way to go until window ends and some teams could be ransacked but as it stands we need to finish 4th bottom of this mini league:

Us
Burnley
Leeds
Brenford
Wolves
Everton
West Ham

Also doubts on Palace

So 4th in that 8 team league will do.

I have yous down for a European spot (if you have a good window). Empty schedule compared to half the league. Then you have the moyes factor and the squad as it stands, as you said.

I think most people’s predictions on here are in hope more then owt else. Don’t think too many truly grasp how massive the step up is, and won’t until a few games in.
