I think we would only get "torn apart" by the top 6-8, below that you have the likes of;
Watford
Bournemouth
Swansea
Stoke
Hull
Middlesborough
Burnley
Palace
Sunderland (admittedly probably down)
In terms of their starting 11s vs our likely-to-be-strengthened current best 11, there's no reason...
While it is getting MASSIVELY ahead of myself, I can see myself getting very annoyed at how some of our support (particularly newer-comers) would react if we go up and then struggle in the Prem under Hughton. I would like us to give him the time and support Burnley have given Dyche.
