Norwich amd Swansea next season

[kron-1664]

I reckon they will go down , one season wonders and i think Lambert will be offski.

[nuffieldranger]

i think they will stay up but hopefully will finish below us

[swede]

Swansea, Blackpool and Wigan will go down.

Always interesting to have the views of the newbies don't you think? Reading fans mixed opinions

what pleasing irony it would be that after our season of struggle, we push on next season, and watch and wave as the other two promoted teams from this term spiral downwards.

some of them reading boys realy dont like us do they

Swans defrost down teams have got wise to them not sure about Norwich but could be in trouble if Lambert decides to take the Liverpool job which I think he may be offered.

[kron-1664]

I remember those days this time last year, little did i realise the gulf in class between champ and prem. Reaadings current squad will get caned, they need a good few players in the door, Le Fondre , Legs and Gorrks are not the greatest spine.

[sirduncs]

maybe we have a brewing rivalry with the fake hoops for next season...for them to suggest we will struggle more than them is, in my opinion, nothing short of utter ****ing idiocy.

I think Norwich will struggle next season. Swansea will find it a lot harder, I think they started to get found out in the second half of the season. I'm pretty sure Reading will go down and Southampton will be down near the bottom. I'm confident we will kick on. I expect us to finish around 12th

SAFE

Fulham Think they are a decent side, decent manager. Safe unless they have major injuries
Wigan IF they keep players and manager, should stay up. Can be great on their day
West Brom Will depend on who comes in, to some extent, but will be surprised if they are not bottom 8 at best
Saints. Think they will do OK and finish at least 4 places above RFC if they keep players/manager and add 1-2
West Ham (IF) Head-Games one for me. Might be low-mid-table but will need to start well

======================================

In Real Danger, expect 1 to be relegated

Sunderland Hard one but I don't see them having a top-half season
Stoke May stay up but won't be far away from the drop.
Aston Villa Will depend on who is new manager but they look like a club in trouble

======================================

Out and Out relegation Candidates

Reading I think we will be pasted in some games v the best. Hard to believe we won't be in bottom six.
Swansea Can't see them as long-term Premiership team. Have a fit with Rodgers, but think they'll be sussed next year. Bottom 5
Norwich Plenty of passion etc but if Lambert goes, could see a break-up and relegation
QPR Think they will struggle. Taraabt hasn't worked, bit of unrest maybe. Bottom 5 again


Blackpool (IF) Sadly, think they'll lose the PO Final. If they go up, best is 4th bottom but likely to drop


If Blackpool beat WHU in the PO Final, I could see us finishing 15/16/17 with a little bit of luck

16 Reading (presuming we bring in real quality, and Harte [who I love] is not left back)
17 One of of Villa or Swansea, Sunderland, Stoke, Norwich (could see 3/4 of these in trouble)
18 One of Villa or Swansea, Sunderland, Stoke, Norwich
19 QPR
20 Blackpool


But if WHU win the PO Final, think Saints and WHU will finish above us meaning 3 of Villa, Swansea, Stoke, QPR, Sunderland, Norwich
have to be in trouble for us to survive. As I see it, I think in many ways we were inferior to Saints, WHU
and Birmingham this season, despite the table, and we over-achieved magnificently

Presuming West Ham come up , sadly I think we have a very good chance of coming straight back down.

Our best chance is winning the bottom-end six-pointers. I expect some horrible hammerings next year.

Reading finish above QPR, what's that based on?

[SuperHoopNik]

If Swansea manage to get Siggurdsonn and a few others, then they should be ok. If they don't then the table could look like this


18. Southampton
19. Swansea
20. Wigan

Are we all just crazy? Every team writes us off as if we have a poor side and no money to spend lol. I honestly believe we will finish top 10 next season.
