Canary Legend 0 Posted August 23, 2015 Watching the first 3 games what is clear is that the 3 teams that have come up from the championship are going to be very competitive I think all 3 will be safe which means 3 more established clubs will do down.Villa and Sunderland look poor and I think second season syndrome will kick in and Leicestet will follow them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted August 23, 2015 It is only 3 games in and winless runs can knock any team. These winless runs can happen to all but a promoted team has to get wins when they are on top otherwise that run can arrive far too easily.Too early to tell, all I care about is three other teams have to go down this year. We have to win the game we are on top in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted August 23, 2015 Villa and Sunderland look poor and I think second season syndrome will kick in and Leicestet will follow them I hope you''re right but have to say that Leicester are looking very good at the moment.We'' ll get a better idea after 10 games.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 23, 2015 Squad depth will be the issue for the promoted sides. A couple of key injuries and the gaps will start to show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grefstad 0 Posted August 23, 2015 Sunderland will go down unless they get rid of Advocaat.He is only on a 1-year contract, and the players know he is leaving. Seems fed up too.Gus Poyet was a guest on TV in Norway yesterday, and game very good (and damning) insights of how Sunderland is run as a club.I hope for our sake they stick with Advocaat a bit longer, to keep the rot.

Foreveryella 0 Posted August 23, 2015 Squad depth come the winter with injuries and suspensions and games coming quickly will be a huge factor! Clear to see our 11 at present will be competitive but worried by our cover in defence and forward options. As we all know a centre back and a forward player with a bit of a X factor will make us very competitive until January then we can re address and see where we are then and what we need!!

Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 23, 2015 We are an injury to Jerome away from finding things very tricky. I am sure this will be sorted by September 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it''s something along the lines of teams who have 12 points from 12 games are usually safe and those who don''t provide the shortlist for relegation. He usually starts a thread on it after 12 games and is normally a pretty decent read and well worth keeping an eye out for after 12 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 23, 2015 I think its impossible to predict after only 3 games, by 10 / 12 games you have a pattern emerging that makes it easier to select those likely to be involved.Lets face it Sunderland could make a couple of signings this week and be ok, Everton could lose Stones not replace him and Lukaku could get a serious injury and find themselves amongst it, so far too early to shout IMO, however if we continue to play the way have started so far we should do fine.
