Does anyone think we stay up?


I think we’ll be above the bottom 3 for more than 50% of the weeks of the season. I’m currently 50:50 about whether one of those weeks will be the final week. We have a much better chance than the pundits are giving us - in my opinion.

I was at the play off final wow one of the best days ever. My first game watching the lads was Gillingham away in the okay off when we lost 3-2. My dad announced we were going with my Mum and we literally paid on the door wow!

The betting markets gave us about 12 points off safety coming 19th.

What’s the vibe everyone?

Personally I think without someone who can score goals we will go down. But there’s hope for us all and the next few games will tell us whether we have any chance of staying up !

Something about you doesn't sit quite right.
 
I feel like the lower prem teams haven’t strengthened too much and some definitely weaker then last season. There is an opportunity for us to stay up, our transfer business gives us a chance but it all depends how well this new teams gells and managing to finish above Leeds and Burnley. 2 of the promoted teams will go down and 1 will survive this year imo! Our head to head games will be key!
 
Yes we can. This narrative that the promoted lot have no chance is a story born from two seasons. Before that its pot luck. Fulham were promoted and got tenth. Notts Forest stayed up despite being docked points. It will be tough, it won't be fun.

We can bloody do it.

We could be in the top 3 to 6 come October..... a very easy start 😎

If we fuck the start up and we're shite, we could be bottom 3 or 4 for the full season ☹️

Im an optimist regarding Sunderland but no idea

I think people are massively underestimating Leeds n Burnley mind and not sure why people think we will be ahead of them yet. Like we might, but they have both spent pretty well too I think.

It’s more long term for me, even if we go down we are stronger for it, just gonna try and enjoy it

Leeds had a better team last year and have improved it. I think they’re the best placed of the 3 to stay up
 
If I had to stick a tenner on I’m not sure which way I’d jump.

With our recruitment we have a chance, absolutely. However, the data paints an incredibly bleak picture. The gap between premier league and championship is bigger than ever and its going to be solo navigating Antartica/landing on the moon/supersonic jump to stay up.

Spent well(ish) but they also had a head start on us having finished well ahead of us last season and yoyo'd between the leagues recently. Realistically weve strengthened significantly in midfield, everywhere else is a big question mark. Defence is currently a big concern, attack looks a bit speculative at best.

Midfield 3 is good, front 3 is a fair bit below other times at the minute for me

The recruitment has been pretty good, the 3 in midfield look great, I like the left back and the centre back But struggling to see any goals at the minute and I don’t mean a striker I mean the other players

The quality of the league at the minute was shown by spurs and man Utd finishing 16th and 17th. I don’t see any poor teams at the minute myself
