Originally posted by Crystal_Clear Like previous seasons, I don't see us starting well. Though, I will change my mind depending on any new arrivals before the window closes. However, I fully expect us to pick up when players start to return from injury - ie. Cahill, Tomkins, Ferguson, PVA even Benteke adds an extra option. With West Brom & Fulham almost certain to go, it will be a dogfight for that last relegation place. You never know what can happen during season, ie. no one expected Sheffield United to have such a great season, but I reckon the last relegation place will be between Brighton & Villa. Regrettably I think Brighton will be ok this season. I’m calling Sheff U to go down. Vive le Roy!

If we do indeed have a new striker then I think we will finish 15-18th. We have strengthened but so have a lot around us. I expect us to score more goals (surely) but also concede more. Sheffield United, West Brom. and Fulham to be relegated. Man City to win the title. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Entirely dependent on what happens between now and the end of the transfer window. If Zaha stays and we can bring in a couple more then I don’t see any reason why we can’t finish comfortably mid table.

At this precise time, assuming Bats is done and nothing else happens in or out: 13th. But I think a lot more action is coming both in and out. So jury is out If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

rollercoaster Cornwall 10 Sep 20 5.33pm
This is a really dangerous season: Has Roy got enough left in the tank to get us over the line? Our key players are yet another year older and the team are part way through a transition. Our injury list is terrible. No fans in the grounds giving no atmosphere exposes our lack of technique and blunts our great spirit which got us through in the past. On the plus side: we are addressing the age of the team. We still have time for maybe one or two more players. I have been wrong for each of the last 7 seasons. I think 19th.

Each of past 7 seasons we have finished between 10th and 15th but never 13th. Sounds about right
