In my view its far too pessimistic to say a team that finished 10th last year and has only improved in strength and depth will be locked in a relegation battle. Anything can happen though I suppose.

How on earth can you say that? Our problem positions last season were:
Dodgy Keepers
Full backs who were not the best at defending
Lack of energy in midfield
No target man
Since then we've signed:
Tomasz Kuszcak from Man Utd to improve the goalkeeping situation
Bruno and Bridge from Valencia and Man City to strengthen our defence at fullback
Andrew Crofts to provide energy in midfield
All we are missing is illusive striker, but I honestly can't believe you think with those signings that we are destined to finish in the same position as last season?

More importantly what are Tony Blooms expectations?...I think anything less than a play off spot will be seen as a failure to be honest.He is not ploughing all this money in to sit around in the championship.The only way he will ever see some investment coming back is to get to the prem.Sooner rather than later I guess he is hoping.

His broad expectation, from interviews and comments that I have read, is to get into the Premiership within five years of reaching the Amex. Still a bit of breathing space to go yet.

6th if we get a quality striker, otherwise 10th.
Fifth.

I would love to say 1st. But I honestly believe 6th at minimum. It depends on who's in the play-offs as whether we get promoted or not.

We may have strengthened but so have a lot of teams. One of our main problems last season was scoring goals away from home and I can see that being an issue again unless we sign a very good striker. I hope I am wrong though!
I literally cannot fathom how we could possibly finish as low as last year. Even if we had the same squad I reckon we'd finish higher due to experience but we have vastly improved! Some people clearly have no faith whatsoever in poyet.

Based on the showing against Chelsea, and the improvements made to the squad, sixth. I've said in another thread somewhere that it will be the final home game at the Amex where a play-off place is secured.
Happened at Blackburn. It's improbable, but not impossible.

yes I can. We have poyet.
