I think it will be just as tough as people think, and pretty much as tough as any other club has the rest of the season. This is the premier league.
Indeed, every team has to play every other team between now and May, with the exception of two teams that they've played twice already. As the two teams that we've played twice are Spurs and Chelsea, its likely that our remaining fixture list is easier than most. But its all tough.
All the teams that I thought were hot favourites to be relegated (Southampton, Watford, West Ham) are suddenly churning out decent results.
I'm hoping Newcastle and Palace get sucked in to join Norwich and Villa.
With some bad luck and injuries it could also be us,
Hopefully that won't happen and my prediction of 15th for Brighton is about right.
I hate the thought of Maupay or Ryan getting injured.
14th. Could do better, but given the risk bringing in Potter and running with relatively the same team that scraped it last season, it's a fair result.
Replacement for the at least bi weekly points required threads we grew to know and cherish in those good old Championship days.
PR threads are creeping back though, now disguised as ‘whether 40 points might not be enough’.
It is an excellent way to completely waste everybody’s time as any.position between 10th and 20 th is well within normal probability distribution of outcomes. I plumped for 15th because in the middle.
