It has been amusing reading this thread! The predictions about players like Boufal coming good have proved to be wide of the mark although I would have to own up to thinking that Valery would be the one player to watch this season and that Obafemi would emerge as a potent forward. The smart money for 20/21 suggests that Che Adams will be the one grabbing the headlines in 20/21 for Saints.

Given that there is now only a 5 week break until the new season starts, I would expect that the predictions for 20/21 should be a bit more accurate. It will be a significant season for Saints and I feel that we will improve upon this season's finishing position. Conversely, I think that the bottom of the table is likely to be dominated by the likes of Leeds, Brighton, Sheffield Utd , Villa and Palace. My money is on Roy Hodgson either not starting the season at the helm of Palace or him being the first managerial casualty. I cannot see Liverpool winning the league again and they will be pipped by Man City although I would add that I think Manchester United will be making some marque signings next month and will push Liverpool for second place. I cannot see United continuing to be so far off the pace for another season. The most obvious headline in 20/21 will be Mourinho leaving Spurs.

I cannot imaginé Villa will be that bad again. A more savvy manager than Smith would have got more out of them. If I were Villa, I'd go and get Gerrard and McAlister.

I think Smith has done a good job. He did at Walsall and Brentford too. It's rare that the team that comes through the play-offs stays up. No guarantee Gerrard would be any better; much less experience.
