After watching these two games I am convinced that out of these four teams one of the relegation places is taken for next season in the Premiership.

It's pretty likely - in eight of the last ten seasons at least one promoted team has been relegated immediately - our promotion year and 2011/12 being the exceptions.
I'm not really disagreeing with you, but whoever goes up will have a squad that is very different in 3 months time. They will probably go down partly because the core of their first XI isn't good enough (as you have alluded to) but also because they won't have the same window to assess likely targets and therefore will fail to improve in the right areas. This is what happened to Fulham, which is why they ended up stuffing their first team with loanees who aren't quite good enough and don't really care enough about the club they are loaned to. e.g Ruben Loftus-Cheek

I fear Brentford will fall apart if they do not go up, how many years can they be nearly boys without imploding, like Tottenham are doing now.
My choice for promotion would be Brentford, failing them it would be Barnsley only because they would probably be nailed on relegation favorites (obviously we would fail to beat them home and away)

A while back I posted about the odds of all 3 relegated teams coming back up.
Wish I had put abet on it now.

I dont think they will. They are healthy from top to toe and are going to reach the PL eventually.

Oh dear Brentford....
**** me that’s awful from Brentford. Pushing EVERYBODY bar the keeper up for a corner. Nobody further back then the edge of Bournemouth’s box. Ball bobs out, and Bournemouth promptly run the length of the pitch to score. Amateur.

Absolute shocker from Brentford. Didn’t leave anyone back for a corner. Bournemouth broke and scored. Schoolboy stuff.

What is wrong with Begovic? Should have been sent off. Prat.

Think yellow was fair. Could play a huge part later as he cant do any time wasting.
Not sure why Toney got one though.
Not sure what Toney did to warrant a booking. Begovic was well out of order, a definite yellow.

Keeper should be sent of for that, shocking.

After this season I’m not sure I know the handball/penalty rule anymore.
