Your three to go down right now.


So I do think as we are, we will probably still go down but you never know if

* We have a really solid end to the window (Striker, 2 CBs and RB Cover)
* Palace and Forest both have European footy to worry about and Palace especially dont have massive squad or strength in the depth they have, they are both ones to keep an eye on.
* Leeds and Burnley are both going to struggle as predicted
* Brentford, West Ham and Fulham will struggle as well
 
The opening fixtures have been kind to us, and if we get in a decent striker and CB, I think we'll have a decent chance of coming above 3 teams if we hold it together, and don't buckle after a bad run.

I'm going for us finishing 16th, Leeds 17th. Burnley, Wolves and Brentford to go down.
 
Sunderland, Leeds, Burnley. But i think with Brentford, Wolves, & possibly Fulham being in the mix. For me, 17th should be the aim this season.Anything better is a bonus, but survival is paramount for us to build on what we've got.
 
ATM the promoted three again.
We seem to be giving ourselves a chance with this spending spree but when Forest bought a new team it took a couple of months before they clicked……….if that happens to us we could then lose more than a few to AFCON in December. Thankfully the combinations V Hearts won’t be seen again.
Brentford seem a mess and last seasons Wolves saviour never seems to hang around anywhere for long. I’m not convinced by Potter tbh. Utd and Spurs won’t be much different.
 
We need 2 or 3 quality defenders and a goalscorer to give ourselves a chance. Even then it's going to be a massive ask hoping all the players can gel. I still think the 3 that went up will go down but at least we are going to give it a real go.
 
Burnley bottom by a few points, think these will struggle the most.

Then I have West Ham as the dark horse to struggle and go down, seems to be issues at the club, fans arent happy, just feel a poor start for them after getting beat of us could snowball.

after that its any from the following to take the last spot depending on luck, which signings we get over the line, Sunderland, Brentford, Leeds.

Sod it going to go with my heart.

16 Sunderland
17 Brentford
18 Leeds
19 West ham
20 Burnley
 
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Everton as one who might find themselves in trouble. They’ve been scrapping at the bottom of the league pretty consistently the last few years and moving to the new ground might not work in their favour.

Mind I quite like Everton and would rather see them in the prem, just not at our expense.
 
Right now Us, Leeds and burnley

We are doing some really positive things but we need more at the level of xhaka at centre half and striker as well as good use of loan market.

We’ve given ourselves a much better chance than I thought we would and can go into the season with a degree of optimism.

We all need a bit of patience as we will take some beatings this season but we will also surprise some teams.

In summary Great start, things pointing in the right direction but more work to do

Wonder what the actual stats are when teams change to a new ground. I would guess an upswing in results.

Everton will finish mid table i think.
