Can't believe people are saying 10th .
I did say 12th. But I'm now leaning towards 7th....and i'll be ruddy delighted with that!!
West Ham must be there or there abouts after their singing spree but how the team will adapt to Big Sams tactics could be their weak point. Leicester got good players but have they a good team ? Also Seven is naturally cautious and only in it for the money so they may be there at the end but more likely not. Southampton seem strong but haven't really strengthened but bought good players last year so I'd say if we finish above the Saints we will be top 4.
I wouldn't back any other team , Ipswich I don't rate, Middlesboro are skint, Forest in turmoil, Cardiff not the same as last year as they usually start fast and blow it at the end but haven't even done that, Leeds sold all their best players, can't see the likes of Kevin Phillips last all season at Blackpool so can't have them, Hull look poor, Euro football will kill Birmingham who've got rid of all their best players anyway, Palace are shite, Reading sold their goalscorer and depends on how ALF settles and goes up 2 divs, Burnley don't look much cop and Derby have a clown as manager.
If we don't finish top 4 I will be surprised after how we have started and who we have bought, top 2 might be a little bit too much but I can dream and the end of September will be the time to judge our realistic prospects
