Does anyone think we stay up?

Just curious, if we get relegated, how does that make us stronger? Money? I don’t think most of the players we bought will want to stick around… relegations are kinda harsh on a club! It’s turmoil, tbh…

We will be stronger than last year like as a club

Needs to be managed correctly but you have to play the game well like Bournemouth snd Fulham n co did

It’s still more than likely we will go down at this stage

Plus the new coaches that have come in are highly rated and bring some new ideas.

Its doable to stay up mate we might even surprise a few

Yeah, 100% mate. These coaches have come from the biggest European clubs going and won titles one of them in Italy. What i was noticed from the whole summer and Regis press conference yesterday was they never mentioned "just surviving"...I think our idea is that we are going to surprise a few, like you say. Also in the transfer market aswel imo.
 
The club has certainly put us in a very good place to be competitive. It'll be an absolute slog of a season with some bumps along the way. We will definitely give it a good go. I'm quietly optimistic but I still think the squad depth will costs us. Either way we are a million miles ahead of where we were this time last season.

I just wanna see us win some games at the SoL and beat the f***ing mags. Everything else is a bonus for me.

Hopefully some of the "established" clubs have sat back in the summer, relaxed, thinking no need to worry as the 3 coming up will be cannon fodder once again.

Yeah, Wolves, Brentford and Bournemouth spring to mind. Got a feeling Forest may struggle, selling Elanga takes away alot of their pace on their counter and clubs might have sussed their tactics out. European football aswel....takes its toll.
 
I just dont know.Loads of new signings which will take time to blend in,how will they all tap into the great team spirit we had last year which is harder to maintain if key players last year are not part of the first XI?

If we have a good start then I think we'll be in with a chance.Also depends how December and January are with the impact of the Acon and that awful run of fixtures.

Not all the new signings will be great,and we are also reliant on last seasons players still here stepping up.

Nope. The three that went up are going down. You’re right there’s not much goals in us and a very suspect back line anarl.

The 6 teams who came up before us are now causing everyone to predict the same, because it’s easy. There were some terrible teams and managers in that lot.

We wont go down because RLB is adaptable, he will put a system in place where we will be able to block teams out and hit hard with pace in the break. Not every game but more often than not. We have pace, and are probably only one or two away from what we need now. They will come in. Our midfield is strong enough for a top ten side, and when the other CB comes in (hopefully Lucumi) the defence also will be strong. I would like to see another striker but also think the 3 we have will get much more supply with the midfielders we have. PL games are tight affairs and our midfield will win us more than enough games.

Can see us finishing 16th at best would take that in a heart beat though. Really not sure why people are saying stay up “comfortably” though

Huge pressure on RLB to get results after being backed well

He has been backed in midfield but not so much up front or at the back.
 
Think it's going to be very difficult but cautiously optimistic that we won't be one of those promoted sides from recent years who go down with barely a whimper. If we can survive this season I think we could be in for a pretty special few years after that.
 
We were slumming it in League 1 not too long ago and I don't think anyone at the club expected promotion last season. We've lost 2 very influential players from last season too.

I'd be pleasantly surprised but I can't see it. Burnley and Leeds have stronger foundations.
