... with Fulham already nailed on to drop. Burnley could go as Dyche seems frustrated and is all that keeps them going. West Brom don't have the quality and the season will be difficult when the novelty wears off. Sheff Utd have lost the plot but will grind it out. Newcastle will scrape it again. So Fulham, Burnley and West Brom for me.
Fulham and Burnley feel as nailed on as any teams can be after 3 games. West Brom are an unknown. But if I had to bet, I'd agree with your three.
For me it’s Fulham, West Brom and Sheff United. Credit to Sheff United for last season and just getting wind in their sails, but after lockdown they were real world awful and they have lost Henderson who was a big factor in a lot of their clean sheets. I only see Sander Berge there who is of any real use, whereas Burnley have a few useful players. That’s my 3.
I think so tbh. They have a -7 goal difference after 3 games and look appalling ... ... any team losing 3 nil, at home to Villa, should be relegated automatically.
Hope relegations do indeed take place and that they are not scrapped as a condition of a financial bail-out.
Relegation won't get scrapped if the season ends. That particular condition was being thrown in if the season gets abandoned.
Parker well out of his depth so they're down for me. WBA are another with a manager who thinks he's better than his actual parts so they're gone too. third spot would love to see the Geordies claim it but can see Burnley and Sheff Utd. ( second season syndrome) trying really hard to snatch it from them so anyone from those three for the final spot.
Shame West Ham are looking decent but factor in the annual end of season plummet and there is still hope.
Try Pornhub for that mate. I can see Newcastle being in trouble again, it's about due for it all to go tits up under Bruce and without the home support which to be fair puts a shift in they might struggle to get out of the bad patch which will inevitably come. Lot resting on Wilson's shoulders too, given the lad next to him makes Wyke look like Vieri.
Surprised how many are naming Burnley as contenders for the drop, they'll be nowhere near relegation as long as Dyche stays imo. Gotta remember, they've been missing both their first choice centre backs for the first two games. That's huge. Admittedly there's talk of Tarkowski going to Leicester but they don't need to sell so will get top dollar if they do, and I trust them to recruit well if they do; they always seem to. Personally I think Tarko will stay until January at least. As others have said, Fulham and WBA look nailed on. Last spot between the Mags and Sheffield United for me. Think it depends on whether they get 2018/19 Wilson + Fraser or the 2019/20 version. Also, Villa have started well but I fully expect them to plummet and be in the mix come end of the season.
