Hopefully TB isn't one of them

Sheffield United, Norwich and Newcastle are doing their best to help us out.
That’s the most likely route to survival I feel as i don’t think we’ve improved on what was a desperately thin squad last season.
As I type, no first choice right back. Three pretty average CM’s for this level. A collection of flaky wingers and a 35-year old first choice striker.
Predicting the (negative) goal difference will be fun. I’ll go -52.

Speed at which he’s replaced by David Moyes/Big Sam/Tony Pulis?
I am very optimistic that GP will get more out of the team than did CH in the latter part of his reign.
A new fresh approach will re-energise and enthuse the players, especially our newer signings, who probably didn't know if they were coming or going during much of last season.
If they aren't successful under Potter, then time to move them on to pastures new.
Got to add though, that a couple more significant signings will make me even more optimistic.
Would like to see us compete at the level Bournemouth do.
P.S. Well, after TSB's posts, someone has to 'look on the bright side of life'!

Not seen such Bravery!
The youth options are also much better than 1 year ago.I am very optimistic that GP will get more out of the team than did CH in the latter part of his reign.

- Connolly, Gyokeres, Alzate etc. - 1 year older, 1 year more experience.
- The additions of Băluţă and Mlakar.
Exciting times are just around the corner.
Norwich and Sheff United are doomed already.
Both played fairly Attacking football and will try to continue with it and will be taken apart like Fulham.
Can’t see much business done by Southampton to improve them so I’ll go for them as well

Newcastle.
What was their 3 biggest assets last season? Perez, Rondon and their quality manager.
All gone.
Sheff Utd
I won't pick Norwich as I think they are a bit more street wise. Sheff Utd's attacking centre backs may well be their downfall in the prem.
Palace(if they lose Zaha)
Says it all really
Now watch as I get all 3 wrong

Lower mid table. Rarely optimistic but I'm feeling a strong 14th place finish.
What we'll lose for not playing 4 wing backs in each game we'll make up for with attacking gusto and where I worry for Stephens place in the team I'm reassured by the likes of Baluta* (spelling?) and other hungry players.

Never mind The Toon.... putting us at 9/4 to go down is ridiculous!
We are much better than that. I believe we will do o k.

Plenty of people on this thread who’s “ support” would not be missed if they buggered off.

Wouldn't go that far.
I don't agree with the doom and gloom of some people on here but it's obvious they care, like we all do, about the club. Their support is just as valuable as anyone else's.

-1 from me for the use of 'first point of call', rather than the correct idiom 'first port of call'.

We are at the same place managerial wise as the 3 promoted sides, managers with little or no experience of Premier league football. Villa, Norwich, Sheffield United also have little Premier league experience throughout their respective squads. We have, however poor they have been, a squad littered with players with at least a few games, some like Duffy, Dunk have over 30 games experience. This must help a little in my opinion so with this knowledge I think we may perform, points wise similar to last season albeit with a more attacking performances. We will score more goals but could get some absolute thrashings. (BOURNEMOUTH?)
