So, what way do you think the season is going to go

I think we're on a bit of a knife edge going into this break.

Hayden's return make the 433/415 formation Smith is trying to implement make sense and the performances tick upwards. I think if this happens we go on and gain promotion pretty easily.

Or

We don't really improve and as they always do performances and results start to correlate. The league is obviously at a pretty low standard this year so I'm not sure how far we drop down but I'm assuming it'll be between 6th and 10th.

Not going to surprise by saying I think b is far more likely. Bin 'Deano' and 'Shakey' before the rot sets in, Norwich. We might not be able to 'Farkeball' our way to survival in the Premier League but this clearly isn't the answer either.

I think it all depends on the international break and how we come out of it.  If this team properly clicks it will be champions.  If not, the playoffs beckon.  I genuinely think we've got too many quality players not to be top 6.
