Ok it may still be early July but who do you think will struggle this season?

All a big guess, but regrettably looking at where the squads are right now, for me:

20th Sheffield Utd
19th BHA
18th Norwich

So what do you reckon peeps?

Burnley, Norwich and Sheffield United with us giving them a run for their money. Palace will be thereabouts if Zaha goes too

Likeliest candidates are the three that came up, us, Burnley and Newcastle.

We must be among the suspects this time around unless there's some movement on the striker front. My guess (fear) is that there won't be and we'll go with what we've got.

I think we will really struggle. I feel that it will be made clear that CH set up the team in a way to earn points and to get us over the line to stay up, which he achieved. GP is inexperienced and I doubt will have the nous to win dirty so to speak. Certainly I have no confidence in AJ, Andone, Locardia to make much of an impression and Murray is a year older.

I noticed that recently.

Strange how the markets rate Newcastle as being in a better place than us, despite the loss of a great coach/tactician, Perez and Rondon (their goals).

We still have time to get Potter, Jahanbakhsh, Andone, Locadia and Murray out of our club, and they can take Barber (“Barber” said in a very angry tone) with them.

Bloom needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

They were 6/1 a few weeks ago.
You'd imagine they'll drop further once Steve Bruce is unveiled.

3/1 still looks value. I think they're screwed.

Don't think we'll struggle too bad, 12th-15th maybe, hopefully less scary than the end of last season. Presuming we sign a half-competent RB.

Norwich, Newcastle and Villa down for me, unsure of the order.

Think I'm the only person in the country thinking Sheff U will be alright, reckon they'll be like Udders were in their first season back up, I massively rate Wilder.

Assuming it's not at our expense, I'd love for Ashley to still be in charge, Bruce as manager, minimal investment and for Newcastle to finish 12th, with sell out crowds every week.
