So predict the Prems bottom three next May

[Keef Chedwyn]

Blades
Bournemouth
Burnley

 

[Sheffsteel]

Newcastle United
Brighton and Hove Albion
Norwich City

 

[Cassius Kray]

Having gone through all the responses, to date the average guess is:

18 Newcastle
19 Brighton
20 Norwich

With Palace just above, which surprises me - they were excellent second half of last season. I'm not sure about Brighton, as their main problem was scoring goals and Maupay is a good signing. I'm going for:

18 Burnley
19 Newcastle
20 Norwich

Although I'd prefer to see Leicester, Bournemouth & Watford relegated for their exceptionally dodgy promotions. Or West Ham.

 

[Johnnyblade]

18.Villa
19.Norwich
20.Newcastle

Blades 14th

 

[blademark]

I think Norwich will be OK. Like us, they have away of playing that they are all familiar and comfortable with, and plenty of attacking threat. I'm certain they will improve defensively when the new and injured players bed in.
I see Newcastle as a car crash, no togetherness at all, and even though Zaha hasn't gone, that won't end well for Palace. Making up the 3 could be Bournemouth.

18th Bournemouth
19th Palace
20th Newcastle

 

[robbiez666]

18 ????????
19 Newcastle
20 Norwich

18th could be Palace, us or Watford

I think Southampton will be ok as they picked up and Ings will do well. Bournemouth have bought well and have too much. Brighton have bought well and will be a bit more secure this year. Villa have too much to be in a relegation battle. Burnley are just about strong enough and will take points off the promoted teams

 

[VwBlade]

As long as it's not us I'm not arsed

 

[Seth Rollins]

Norwich,Brighton & Newcastle in no particular order. Got 50/1 on that with Sky Bet a few weeks ago.

blimey that's a tidy set of odds for those 3.

 

[scottyblade70]

18. Bournemouth
19. Newcastle
20. Norwich

Hope villa are in there, but think they'll stay up.

 

[Chief14]

Originally went Norwich, Brighton, Newcastle but with Zaha potentially sulking and not being in the right frame of mind I think Palace will slip into bottom 3 and Brighton will be the team to stay up.

 

[bypassblade]

Liverpool 18
Chelsea 19
Man City 20

That's what I'd like in reality I think

Newcastle 18
Watford 19
Brighton 20

 

[Blade56]

Manure
Chelsea
Leeds

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Burnley
Norwich
Brighton

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Least one thing is for sure Villa are no better than us.

 

[theoneandonly36]

Brighton, Newcastle and Watford.

 

[bromtom]

Is say they're worse to be honest.

From the games I've watched and stats from the ones I didn't, they don't impose themselves at all, every game they're pretty much defending, opponents getting plenty of time in the attacking third, playing more passes in dangerous areas, more shots, more crosses, more corners.

Players might have more potential than some in our squad but we are matching decent teams consistently.

 

[TaipeiBlade]

Any of ...

Us
Brighton
Watford
Newcastle
Norwich
Villa
Palace
Southampton

Gonna be tight

 

[Champagneblade]

Not seen much from Villa to date that suggests they have closed the gap in United and Norwich.

Watford as well have had a terrible start and we're it not for suicidal play by Arsenal, would have chalked another zero at the weekend.

Brighton and Newcastle are also not achieving a great deal.

I can see us and Norwich both surviving.

I think for both us and Norwich, it depends on signing a quality CB.

We need someone with prem experience to get shit organised and lead the defence.

They need someone who isnt shit.

Gonna predict, Calum Chambers moves to either us or them.

i think itll go to the last day, and i think we will survive

And that’s what makes Saturday’s result all the more frustrating/consequential. Over the course of a season, many a mickle, makes a muckle, and other than the top 4 or 5, sides we shouldn’t be losing to teams at home. A draw needs to be the minimum if we wish to stay up.

I can 100% guarantee that will definitely NOT be the table after the last match of the season.

Totally agree, if we can manage 5 points from every 4 games that would be 1.25 points per game over 38 games leaving us on around 47 points and safe, the way I look at Saturday is we missed the three points from this run of games, We are not expected to get anything from Liverpool, Everton away we will now have to push hard and put away the chances away from home.

it might be the pressure is on for the Watford Game to get a decent amount of points to make sure we keep a run going and get the points needed to be safe at the end of the season.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Liverpool
Man City
Spurs

 

[Stretch]

I am still convinced that we won't be one of them. Once we cut out the mistakes and one of our strikers hits a bit of form we will be very comfortable.

Could see a bottom 3 from any of Newcastle, Villa, Palace, Burnley, Norwich and maybe Brighton.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Wolves , Villa and Brighton

 

[Isar]

Brighton
Villa
Newcastle

In actual fact, you can't. But anyway...
