[Albion] A difficult season ahead

Greavsey said:

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned, but I actually expect Palace to struggle next season.

Either Wan-Bissaka or Zaha will leave (maybe both), and I think Woy will struggle to command the dressing room for a third season (we've seen how eventually players just get bored of the same voice), so will probably get the boot before Christmas. They may stay up ultimately, but do think they'll have a poor start yet again.

To at least run long spells of home games, and even some away from home.

Quite feasible with better ACM’ers. Watford, West Ham, Newcastle, Burnley, Stains, Bmuff all achieved just that. Each with a very handy CM trio.

How do I know? ..... I saw them all do that against us, plus watching a fair few PL matches on the box.

Next seasons premier league looks like one of the strongest yet, definitely the strongest we’ve been in. The teams getting promoted are no push overs, villa are a sleeping giant, and if given financial backing this summer will be very strong with players like grealish and mcginn. Sheffield United and Norwich are possibly on paper the weakest teams, but have a strong togetherness and good managers, whilst also having tidy players. The bottom half of the table teams also are all looking strong. Southamptons new manager has them playing again and is said to be given a lot of money this summer. Newcastle with a possible new takeover and an outstanding manager. Burnley are possibly the weakest remaining team, however, this is said about them every year and every year they surprise people. I believe if hughton had stayed then we would’ve sleep walked into relegation, how many of those teams would we realistically finish above with hughton in charge? Potter is a risk, but a risk which needed to be taken.

I think we need better teamwork and passing which goes from the back right up to the front. Better ACM can certainly be part of that. I see our forward purchase as the 'biggie' though and instrumental to our success. We cannot have GM plodding through another season or Andone or Locardia as lone target men. I just do not think it will work.

All we need then is to sign a couple of midfielders to run the show in PL games. Straightforward hey ? Not a chance mate. We will not be running many shows next season.

Aston Villa took a gamble and it paid off. But strong financial backing ? Can't see them investing too heavily.

Yes, of course it's all we need. We don't need a manager, we don't need any plans, we don't need some of the players to play better - we just need to spend lots and lots of money - got it?

Geez.....!

I have a hunch that might, just might, be the reason the Albion have a new manager.
