We will be rooted to the foot of the table in October, put together a 5 game unbeaten run, capitulate and make an attempt at survival with 3 games to go. Will Martin survive the season: No Interesting how many people think we will get relegated but retain Martin.
I assume it's because based on the quality of the squad it would take an insane effort to stay up and therefore it would be hard to say he's underperforming if we're in the relegation zone all season. Personally I've gone with no because I think we'll suffer lots of heavy defeats (and not just to the big sides) which will increase pressure more than if we're losing close games.
These predictions are based on our squad right now. If we can make the additions that I think we need, then I'll be positive and say we can finish 17th. Finishing Position: 20th FA Cup: 4th Round Carabao Cup: Last 16 Player of the season: BBD Disappointment of the season: Not really a disappointment because I know it's coming, but going to games with VAR again is going to suck. In terms of players, I don't really want to single anyone out, but I don't think many of our Championship team will be able to step up to the PL. Edit: Just to pile on the negativity, I think we might be in for another 0-9 or maybe even break the record.
