Which 3 teams will finish below us ?

[plattamusii]

Seven games in, using your head not your heart, name 3 teams that you think will finish below us ?

I'm struggling but I'll offer up....

Fulham,Spurs & Bolton

[gilberto]

do you honestly think tottenham will go down?!

[plattamusii]

Like I said, I'm struggling to name 3.

If we beat them, and they sack Ramos there might be a big enough period of disarray to cause them problems.They've sold all their goals !

[Northy]

Port Vale, Crewe, Accrington ;D

Seriously, I can't think of any at the moment,

If I had to say 3 it would be Fulham, West Brom and Hull (they can't keep fluking results surely)

[andrewguk]

I'll say, West Brom, Newcastle & Wigan

[Nick0980]

Three of the following four....WBA, Wigan, Hull and Newcastle, Think we will finish 16th with maybe Newcastle just surviving. hull will fuck up soon, we played some quality teams and i know Hull have as well but what a time play Newcastle and Spurs, dunno what happened with the Gunners tho - must of been some bastard hull fans who were quids in after that

[FullerMagic]

It's tough to see anyone outside Stoke, Hull, WBA, Bolton and Fulham making up the 5 realistic relegation contenders.

It's surely inconceivable that Newcastle or Spurs will go down, and once you've looked beyond them, you're into the likes of Sunderland, Wigan, Blackburn, Boro and West Ham - who all surely have far too much.

[markscfc72]

any 3 from

Hull
West Brom
Wigan
Fulham
Boro
Blackburn
Sunderland
Bolton

[Nick0980]

fulham have looked quite tidy this season, far betteer than last, and people say the championship is a tough league. i think this season the premier league has been all over the place, very unpredicatable, lets just hope we can get some points against the so called lesser teams, we had some tough games and not disgraced ourselves at all!!! Goarrrrn Stoke!!!!!

[poohpoohdisco]

Mmm...I do think Spurs could if they stick with Ramos until Jan and their current form continues - although you can see it now, they hammer us at home But I do think they will start to find form

Fulham - two wins but they are poor away

Then possibly Bolton or Newcastle although they battled better against Everton, in fact maybe even Everton as they are dire at the back but you can't see them being like that all season.

Middlesboro as well if they keep losing to one goal against teams like West Brom & of course West Brom themselves.

[sutekh]

My heart say's we'll stay up.
But my head say's with pulis in charge we're fucked.

[oslostokie1]

Birmingham
Reading
Wolves

[plattamusii]

I was asking the question based on the assumption that we will stay up.

Why not, I bet Leeds thought they'd never go down and look where they are now. Anything can happen.

I'd like see Spurs and Newcastle go down.

[wba4eva123]

As a baggies fan i think we are doing great this season but this question does worry me as teams that are expected to struggle are doing pretty resonable eg. fulham, bolton and the teams that are really struggling like tottenham and newcastle i expect to get out of it. so event though we are n a good posision i struggle to find another team that i think we can finish above

[gilberto]

yeah, it'd be hilarious if they did i just cant see if happening. they'll click at some point (probably against us) and if they dont, they'll go out and spend another 20mill in the transfer window.

[jezzascfc]

Right now my head says we will go down, but my God I hope I am wrong. We have played some top teams so far and when we get into the next month or two, we should garner more points.

I reckon Fulham, Bolton, WBA and Hull, who will slump after a good start, may be down there with us, but we have given some of these teams a hell of a head start.

[plattamusii]

Apparently the team that's been bottom of the league at this stage in the past 6 seasons has gone down.

[markscfc72]

we have to remember it is a long season 31 more games to go and 93 more points up for grabs

I still honestly think we will be ok, not saying we will do it easy or anything but I do think we will stay up, have more faith and optimism people!

[big bea]

bolton,
west brom
fulham

hull will be safe if they manage get 30 points by xmas wigan are a good team now which are pretty much established as long as steve bruce stays there

[onlyonesirstan]

Just can't see where the next point is coming from, so I think we will finish bottom.

[premierpotter08]

WBA, Birmingham, Wolves. Based on nothing drastically changing at the brit.

[ruts66]

TP has surprised me (occasionally) in the past but I can't see anything other than 20th right now.

There's very little football in this team and with TP's mentality of merely "avoiding getting hammered" we've no chance.

January will be too late.

Hard to enjoy when you see Hull playing football...

[wrighter]

We"re doomed Capt Mainwaring, we"re doomed !! ;D

I can't really see it happen but it would be nice, would'nt it.

[th05]

At the moment the only sides I can see finishing below us are Fulham and possibly Newcastle if they dont sort the club out. However, Hull and WBA's form wont last forever.

[MrMagic]

At the moment I cannot see anyone finishing below us. If Pulis rethinks his approach to the task of staying up, I think a number of teams could finish below us. I was very happy with the performances against Villa and Everton, but he seems to have revered to type (or is that tripe?) A rethink and some help in the coaching department and we will be fine, if we keep on doing the same thing, we will get the same results.

My thoughts apart from I'd have put Birmingham, Wolves and Reading.

[Do eet for Eetinneriseet]

none

[cousindupree]

Spurs and Newcastle will turn it around so I Think the bottom 6 will be Stoke, Fulham, WBA, Hull, Sunderland and Bolton. At the moment this mini league looks like this

Hull....................14pts
West Brom........10pts
Sunderl...............8pts
Bolton.................7pts
Fulham................6pts
Stoke..................4pts
Apart from Hull on 14 and could be out of sight very soon!!! The rest could be caught over the next few weeks.. but as we all know the most important must win games will be against the above.
