TRon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The levels of mediocrity will be high this season. Yep. Could see us finishing anywhere between 12th-16th. Don't think we'll get relegated, but we'll probably flirt with it at times in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Looking at some of the squads in the bottom 10, I think we could finish higher than I thought. Still a couple of weak areas squadwise but as long as Bruce doesn’t fuck it up completely there should be enough talent to finish 11-13th. There’s the ‘big 6’, Wolves, Leicester & Everton. Could finish near the top of the rest. Again, just annoying we couldn’t have swayed Rafa or another good manager instead of Bruce because top 10 would have been a realistic target rather than hoping to sneak in if Bruce doesn’t do as bad as we think.

Raconteur Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just checked the poll - seems I’m the only person who voted “1”. Think I’ve been too negative... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I voted zero, I think the bookies have got this badly wrong with us still 3-1 to be relegated. The three signings guaranteed survival for me and if Bruce learns to manage fitness/injury levels better with a bigger squad of eligible players I honestly think mid-table is on the cards. 11th or10th a real possibility*. *subject to revision after a few more games.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Burnley can’t have much of a chance this season. Why not? Off field problems with cash flow, Dyce unhappy, poor squad to begin with etc. He’ll do incredibly well to keep them up this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Good start to the season and actually pretty encouraging going forward. But its bruce.

The Prophet Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I feel like it'll be a repeat of last season. Shit football, no plan, but we'll scrape together just about enough positive results to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Early days, but safe to say that WBA, Fulham, Newcastle and Burnley (edit: and West Ham) will be fighting for survival for a long time this season, if not until the end of it. Other likely contenders will be Villa, Southampton and an outsider that I think will struggle (at least compared to last season) is Sheffield United.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Logic says we could go down. Based on stats we were lucky last year, and new signings probably don’t alter those stats significantly. So if Bruce can’t figure out a way to get more out of the team, we are in danger.

Unlucky Luque Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Going from 6 to 8. Had some early optimism after West Ham, but Brighton really hammered home that we still have Steve Bruce at the helm and can only hope others are worse than we are this season. We won't nick results against top teams this season, top ten teams have strengthened considerably and probably 14 of 19 teams will tear us to shreds. In amongst the shit we'll be!

Would love to see them finally relegated, their football is terrible and seemingly just getting worse and worse. They have brought no one in during the transfer window, and have let players go. Apparently they don’t have the money. Theirs owners actually fear for the future. Unless they start beating teams like us, they are gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
